Zombie Army 4: Dead War

Zombie Army 4: Dead War

Zombie Army 4: Dead War refines all the zombie sniping antics of Zombie Army Trilogy while also adding some of the refinements found in Strange Brigade. It’s a very entertaining game with plenty of action, but like its predecessors, it’s best played with a group of friends. Dead War still has a couple of rough spots and can get repetitive, but has plenty of replay value.

Gameplay: Run around in third person while shooting zombies with sniper rifles and other World War 2 era weapons.

Graphics: Detailed and gory, but the color palette can be a little dull at times.

Sound: Decent music and sound effects, but there’s entirely too much blabbering going on for a zombie game

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10

The original Gears of War gets a nice visual update with this edition of the game, but everything else remains mostly intact. This means that the game still suffers from the shortcomings of the original and can even feel a bit dated by today’s standards. However, it’s still a great shooter and a good place to jump in if you have never tried the series before.

Gameplay: A little clunky at times, but overall quite fun.

Graphics: The updated visuals are definitely a big step up from the original.

Sound: Sounds just like the original, which is a good thing

Everreach: Project Eden

Everreach: Project Eden

Everreach: Project Eden is a sci-fi themed third-person shooter with some RPG elements thrown into the mix as well. It’s not a bad looking game but struggles with cumbersome controls, stiff animations, and combat that lacks excitement. The story is interesting once you get caught up in it but prepare for some frustration and lack of polish along the way.

Gameplay: Rather short and could have benefited from some more polish.

Graphics: The visuals look good, but the animations are rather stiff.

Sound: Nice soundtrack, but the sound effects are rather lacking

Gun Gun Pixies

Gun Gun Pixies

Gun Gun Pixies is a fan-service heavy third-person shooter where players get to infiltrate an all-girl dorm with a pair of pint-size pixies from another planet. It is a very niche title and makes no apologies for the copious amounts of ecchi content, but the story is actually very decent and running around as a tiny pixie in a world filled with giant girls can be fun. Unfortunately, the game can be a little repetitive and some areas, such as the controls, could do with improvements. Ultimately, if you are a fan of the genre and enjoy the fan-service, then you might be able to overlook the flaws and have fun with his one.

Gameplay: Fun, but it can be more frustrating than challenging at times due to the controls.

Graphics: The visuals are decent and the girls look great, but the environments are very limited.

Sounds: Average music, but the voices and sound effects are good

Zombie Army Trilogy

Zombie Army Trilogy

Zombie Army Trilogy takes the original Nazi Zombie Army games, gives them a brand new coat of paint, and dishes them up along with a third chapter. Shooting zombies in the head with sniper rifles is every bit as enjoyable as it sounds, but for the most fun, you ideally want to team up with a few friends for the online co-op. Despite a few rough edges and slightly repetitive gampeplay Zombie Army Trilogy comes highly recommended for fans of co-op games.

Gameplay: Slightly repetitive, but a whole lot of fun.

Graphics: The visuals look decent and are a significant improvement over the original games.

Sound: Straight from a zombie-themed B-movie

Morphies Law: Remorphed

Morphies Law: Remorphed

Morphies Law: Remorphed is a colorful and entertaining online shooter that brings some genuinely unique elements to the genre. The game originally suffered a rocky launch on the Nintendo Switch, but this Remorphed version addressed all of the issues while also adding plenty of new content. The fact that it features crossplay between Steam and Switch users is also quite neat. If you are tired of all the drab, serious online shooters, then give Morphies Law: Remorphed a shot and experience the fun of running around as an impossibly proportioned, colorful killing machine.

Graphics: Colorful visuals, unique levels and a wealth of customization options for your Morphie.

Sound: Pretty decent.

Gameplay: A very unique take on the genre that also manages to be a lot of fun to play

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Metal Gear Solid 4 has so many cool gameplay features that initially it might feel a bit overwhelming. Sneaking through battlefields, taking on bizarre enemies and bosses while unraveling the complex story is gripping stuff and will keep you hooked to the end. The cut-scenes drag on a bit, but that is to be expected from a MGS game. One of the “must have” titles for PS3.

Gameplay: Compelling, varied and a blast to play.

Graphics: Excellent attention to detail.

Sound: Excellent voice acting and music

Fatshark Giving Away 100K Lead & Gold Keys

Fatshark Giving Away 100K Lead & Gold Keys

These days Fatshark is better known for developing Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide, but back in 2010 the Swedish team released their very first game, called Lead and Gold. This Wild West themed third-person shooter features a compelling team-based multiplayer experience that still holds up well despite its age. Players who are not yet acquainted with Lead & Gold can now rectify this thanks to Fatshark deciding to give away 100K keys for the game

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare

American Nightmare offers more action and less atmosphere than the original game, but it is still a compelling addition to the series. With only three locations to explore, it lacks the depth of the first game, but the story is still very interesting. It is important to remember that this is not a sequel but a bite-sized addition to the Alan Wake saga.

Gameplay: A more action-oriented approach than the original game.

Graphics: Good, but the wide-open areas make it less creepy.

Sound: Overall good, but some of the voice acting could have been better
