Pixel Puzzles 2: Anime packs the same innovations introduced by the previous entry in the series, such as rotating puzzle pieces and a sorting tray, but with a brand new theme.

The annoying little crabs are also gone, but have been replaced by an equally annoying Pixel Fairy.

Gameplay: Challenging and very addictive.

Graphics: The new anime themed illustrations are beautiful.

Sounds: The music is nice and mellow, but the fairy can become very annoying.

It is not every day that we receive emails from engineers working for the European Space Agency, especially not about a multidimensional alien race attacking our universe! Fortunately the email was about the upcoming action title that the developers are developing in their free time and not about any imminent threat to our universe. Since they were kind enough to provide us with a playable build of the game we were able to get some hands on time with this unique shooter

Sweet Sins

Sweet Sins

The genre is certainly not lacking in titles, but dodging obstacles and bashing baddies as very cute versions of the seven deadly sins is still a ton of fun. The game features addictive gameplay, great visuals and catchy audio along with a very fair use of in-app purchases. If you crave something fast paced that can be played in short bursts, but will keep you hooked for hours then look no further than Sweet Sins.

Gameplay: The game is polished, simple to play and very addictive.

Graphics: The beautiful art style and adorable characters are highlights.

Sound: Catchy music that matches the style of the game perfectly

Poöf

Poöf

Poof VS The Cursed Kitty is one of those games that start of relatively simple and before you know it you are fighting for your life. The arcade style gameplay shows no mercy and finishing the game is not for the faint of heart. While it requires quick reflexes and lots of luck the addictive gameplay will ensure that you keep coming back for more.

Gameplay: Very hard but very rewarding.

Graphics: Colorful and cartoony Flash style visuals.

Sound: Fits the frenetic pace of the game

Don’t Shoot Yourself!

Don’t Shoot Yourself!

Don’t Shoot Yourself bills itself as a puzzle shmup, which is quite accurate as the focus is on carefully maneuvering your spaceship around different arenas while avoiding your own bullets. There are no enemies to defeat or power-ups to collect, but don’t think that this makes things any easier. Each arena offers a new challenge thanks to its size, shape and type of walls, which makes the game challenging and entertaining from start to finish.

Gameplay: Easy to play, but tricky to master.

Graphics: Simple, but colorful and unique.

Sound: Some nice background tunes

Paper Sorcerer

Paper Sorcerer

First person role playing games can be notoriously grindy but Paper Sorcerer manages to deliver an old school experience without any of the tedium. The visuals are stunning, the writing witty and the bite sized levels kept me coming back for more. The game is even more impressive considering that it is the work of basically one person and we can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.

Gameplay: Old school first person RPG without the grinding.

Graphics: Beautiful hand drawn and inked visuals.

Sound: I loved the soundtrack but others around the office didn’t

Stick It To The Man!

Stick It To The Man!

Stick It To The Man is one of those titles that are so much fun to play that you don’t want it to end. Everything from the visuals to the audio is in a class all by itself and the superb humour is just the icing on the cake. The puzzle solving, while not very taxing, is still a blast and the quirky combination of platforming and point and click adventuring makes this a stand out title.

Gameplay: Inside the platform framework beats the heart of a point & click adventure.

Graphics: Fantastic visuals with plenty of memorable scenes.

Sound: Great music and even better voice overs

Victor Vran (Haemimont Games)

Victor Vran (Haemimont Games)

If you are looking for an action RPG that is fast, fun and doesn’t get bogged down in endless stats you will enjoy Victor Vran. It also looks like the developers are pulling out all the stops to make this a game that fans will enjoy and you can provide feedback or report bugs from within the game to help with the development. There has been some great role playing titles released for PC lately and Victor Vran is definitely shaping up to be one of them

Sorcery! 2

Sorcery! 2

The original Sorcery was a great start to the adventure, but this second chapter kicks things into high gear. With a sprawling city to explore, nobles to track down and clues to uncover it will take a lot of luck as well as perseverance to make it to the end. Kharé is a fascinating setting filled with interesting characters and locations, but it is also very easy to make a misstep and end up dead or without your belongings. If you enjoyed the original Sorcery you definitely won’t want to miss out on this installment.

Gameplay: Features a staggering amount of choices and an engrossing story.

Graphics: The same great illustrations as the original books and a very impressive pseudo 3D map.

Sound: Good and won’t become annoying or distract you
