Alright rookie, we are confronted with an emergency situation–the Earth is being attacked!

Oh no, General!

I know. The bean counters say these invaders come straight from Puppy Games, a developer known for its vibrant use of color and retro gameplay.

What did you say?

Nothing–I don’t know what came over me. Anyway, even at a time such as this, we still have hope–we are not defenseless!

The Army, Air Force, Navy and half of Australia may be gone, but we’ve still got you.

Be ever vigilant, for the enemy is cruel, relentless and…Purple.

Nope!

You are the last Tank Commander, so get out there and destroy those Titans!

_____________________________________________

Once upon a sun-kissed morning,
I awoke from peaceful snoring,

Pressure Review Intro from YouTube-WeaselZone channel (1)

Only to find my bathwater cruelly sucked away.

Pressure Review Intro from YouTube-WeaselZone channel (2)

“Need Water? Visit My Spa!” the Count said,

Pressure Review Intro from YouTube-WeaselZone channel (3)

And as I searched my groggy head,
I remembered what my grandfather always used to say:

Pressure Review Intro from YouTube-WeaselZone channel (4)

“If you wake up one sun-kissed day, and find your water stolen away,
The solution is simple! Do not delay–use your buggy to blow everything away.”

Pressure Review Intro from YouTube-WeaselZone channel (5)

So that’s how I spent that memorable day–blowing every single thing away.

Okay?

King Oddball wants to end the world.

We don’t know why he wants to end the world–maybe the neighborhood bully stole his ice cream, or someone cut him off in traffic.

All we know is that for some odd reason, we want to help him.

Post Master Review

_____________________________________________

When you play a simulation, you commonly want to step into a role you couldn’t inhabit otherwise (theme park designer, spaceship builderprison warden, space engineer…). It’s always a bit of a thrill to peek into the workings of a life we can’t personally experience.

Imagine my surprise in finding a fascinating business sim more close to home, at a location we visit all the time–the Post Office.

Xenonauts Early Access Review

Xenonauts Poster from Kickstarter Project

Xenonauts.*

*Sources of screenshots are listed in their respective file-names.

Xenonauts is an Early Access title in a Beta state, which means it is not fully optimized and bugs may be present. However, with a planned completion date of May 30th, 2014Xenonauts is very close to a final release and feels like a finished game.

_____________________________________________

Commander, General Mikhail reports a situation on the Geoscape.

Patch me in.

Commander.

General.

This was the Geoscape at 19:54…:

Xenonauts Screenshots batch 4 (1)

…And this was the Geoscape at 19:55–two minutes ago.:

Xenonauts Screenshots batch 4 (2)

Looks like one of their Light Scouts–a couple of Condor interceptors should be able to handle it.

Unfortunately Commander, it isn’t that simple. This is the alert we received thirty seconds ago.

Xenonauts Screenshots batch 5 (1) Xenonauts Screenshots batch 5 (2)

So we have two speeding UFO’s, one moving towards southern Africa and the other towards–

the Soviet Union. Both provide significant resources to Xenonauts.

Correct…

I think a single Condor should be able to handle the Light Scout, but I want you to send a squadron to intercept UFO 13–a Condor and a Foxtrot. Be sure to provide the Foxtrot with Avalanche Torpedoes.

Affirmative Commander.

I assume you’ll handle things from here?

Of course.

…What if something goes wrong?

…What could possibly go wrong?

Xenonauts Screenshots batch 6

Units suppressed…

Heavy gunner killed…

Funding terminated…

Cargo Commander Review

_____________________________________________

You tried keeping in contact with your family…

Cargo Commander 'Dear Daddy' Illustration from Official Trailer

You tearfully read the emails from your wife-“Your Love,” as she raved about your brand new office job and “promotion” at Cargo Corp.

Cargo Commander Screenshot batch 5

She has no idea what you really do for a living…
How you dive into battle against hulking monstrosities and collect precious Cargo for a greedy and uncaring organization…

Cargo Commander Screenshots batch 4

She has no idea that they extended your contract so that you’ll spend yet another month away from home.

Cargo Commander Screenshots batch 1 (1) Cargo Commander Screenshots batch 1 (2)

She has no idea that they charge more and more to deliver the pictures your dear son sends to his dad.

Cargo Commander Screenshots batch 4 (1)

She has no idea how long it will take to collect all the cargo needed to get back home-
and neither do you.

Cargo Commander Screenshots batch 4 (2)

This is the world of Cargo Commander,* where intense mutant-fighting, loot-collecting action is juxtaposed against familial struggle and the sad strains of “Down the Drain.”

*Sources of screenshots are listed in their respective file-names.

_____________________________________________

It’s a classic match-up folks-the United States vs. Belarus. The players wave at each other across the pitch…

FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (1)

And they’re off! Random American Blue Guy #1 passes to Random American Blue Guy #2. They advance toward the goal and-Ouuuuuch! Random American Blue Guy #2 is hit with a meteorite!

FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (2)

That’s an unfortunate accident…Random American Blue Guy #2 hops back onto his feet and the game continues as–who released cows onto the field?!?!

FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (3)

Spartan warriors intervene in Belarus’ favor!

FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (4)

Spectators leap out of the stands and onto the field!

FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (5)

A wave of participants are leveled with an airstrike!

FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (6) FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (7)

Players and sports fanatics alike are scattered. The stands are filled with cows. Aliens have abducted the US’ goalie!

FootLOL Introduction Screenshots batch 1 (8)

Who could possibly have caused this?

What brilliant mastermind can create such pandemonium?!?!

You, in the craziest interpretation of soccer yet-FootLOL: Epic Fail League*.

Perfection. Review

Perfection Logo from Official Presskit

*Sources of screenshots are listed in their respective file-names.

_____________________________________________

The objective of Perfection.* is to cut away at randomly-generated shapes until they fit the on-screen silhouette.

Slice.

Slice.

Perfection Screenshots batch 2 (3)

Perfection.

Completing a shape under a certain number of moves awards the player “Perfection.” Otherwise, players simply receive “Success.

Outside of these simple levels of completion, there is no score, leaderboard or competitive element to speak of. This means that anyone can begin playing without fear of failure (which makes it great for the younger ones in the family).
