NecroVisioN is a gory fantasy FPS remotely based on Painkiller's engine and set during WW1. It features a sophisticated combat system that lets you use your character's left hand like never before to shoot, throw, stab... and ultimately host the powerful Shadowhand.

Wheelman is an over-the-top open-world driving and shooting game developed by Vin Diesel's development studio, Tigon Studios and published by both Ubisoft and Midway. Diesel himself lends his likeness and voice to the game, which focuses strongly on feeling like an action movie. Gameplay mostly consists of insane driving through Barcelona with no focus at all on realism and instead a concentration of feeling like an action movie filled with stunts and insane chases. If you like crazy fun gameplay more than polish and graphics, Wheelman might be worth a chance purchase.
MotorM4X is a freeform offroad driving and racing game reminiscent of 4x4 Evo and the Cabela's Offroad Adventure series, and then more. It's based on the Vampire engine, a custom modification of the open-source Ogre.
