You take control of a character of your own creation, and join up with Gabe and Tycho to chase a giant robot of mysterious origin (and with a fetish for fruit) that crushes your home.

It's an episodic game and is expected to have at least four episodes.

Assassin's Creed

This is an adventure game in the spirt of the venerable Thief series without all the moral complications. Players combine stealth with exploration to maneuver their character into optimal assassinating position. Timing is the key to successful combat and survival. Cut-scenes have occasional "glitches" that open up special views and keep the player interacting with the game. The PC version has additional missions unseen in the console original.

Test Drive Unlimited 2

The fashionable youth simulator and racing game returns, packed with O'ahu and Ibiza roads waiting to be conquered. The game aims to combine single- and multiplayer into a seamless experience and lets you explore, race and spend your hard-earned virtual money on useless-thus-awesome customization items. Unlike its predecessor TDU2 requires an active internet connection even for offline solo play and has lost a number of PC specifics: force feedback, TrackIR support, even that nice HDR effect of fading colors when driving through a tree's shadow...

Frontlines: Fuel of War

Frontlines: Fuel of War is a near future online FPS in the Battlefield series style. The titular schtick is the 'frontline' mechanic which limits capping of flags to those on the frontline. Unlike many such online shooters it has no persistent stats and unlocks are only gained by in game kills during that round.
