Ys: The Oath in Felghana

Ys: The Oath in Felghana is a Japanese Action RPG by Nihon Falcom. It is a remake of the third game in the Ys series, Ys III: Wanderers from Ys.

This game, like all Ys games, has a strong focus on story-telling, much like the Final Fantasy series (for those who are not familiar with the Ys series).

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a remake of the 1994 classic strategy game UFO: Enemy Unknown, also known as X-COM: UFO Defense. Unlike the previously announced XCOM by 2K Marin, this game will return to the strategic root of the X-COM series.

Blocks That Matter

Blocks That Matter (also known as BTM) is a two-dimensional indie puzzle platformer developed by Swing Swing Submarine. The player takes the role of “tetrabot”, a robot which is able to collect blocks by jumping into them or drilling them, and can then construct shapes in a “puzzle mode” using four blocks at a time. BTM heavily references the games Minecraft and Tetris through the main characters, in-game mechanics and concepts such as “Pajitnovian physics”.

Atom Zombie Smasher

Atom Zombie Smasher is a real-time strategy game developed by independent developer Blendo Games. In this game, the player attempts to rescue as many citizens as possible from an oncoming zombie horde using helicopter rescue units. As the player progresses, various weapon teams are unlocked that can be deployed to slow the zombie forces while the citizens are rescued.

This game is surprisingly fun and addictive.

Botanicula

Botanicula is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Amanita Design. I'm not even convinced it's a game. It's definitely point and click, and it might be an adventure, but game I am not convinced about. You click on random things until something happens, and then you ask 'was that actually what I wanted to happen?' before realizing that no, you still don't know what the point of all this even is.

On a bright note, wikipedia says that Botanicula is helping the World Land Trust to protect hundreds of acres of rainforest.

Startopia
