Indie Bundle 2

This is the second entry in my series of reviews for the Steam Indie Bundles. Each review is short and subjective, and is geared to give you a quick look at the game. Indie Bundle 2 includes: Botanicula, E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy, Lunar Flight, Splice and Universe Sandbox.

Splice

This indie game allows you to play God by moving cells with other cells and stuff happens, somehow. You have to move the cells or capsules to match the pattern shown. I'm not really sure what happens or what the purpose is, but at least you can do it in multimon.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD (abbreviated THPS HD) is a skateboarding video game in the Tony Hawk's series of skateboarding games. The game is a high-definition re-release featuring classic levels from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Lunar Flight

A modern take on the classic arcade game, Lunar Lander, Lunar Flight extends the experience to a fully, fictionalised Lunar Module Simulator providing a variety of mission types involving Transporting Cargo, Acquiring Data at Survey locations and locating Lost Cargo. Completing missions earns experience points and money to be used to Refuel, Repair and Upgrade the Lunar Module.

Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game in development by ArenaNet. Set in the fantasy world of Tyria, the game follows the re-emergence of Destiny's Edge, a disbanded guild dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons, a Lovecraftian species that has seized control of Tyria in the time since the original Guild Wars. The game takes place in a persistent world with a story that progresses in instanced environments.

Torchlight II

Torchlight II is the sequel to the wildly popular (and successful) action-RPG, Torchlight. The sequel brings the often requested multi-player co-op feature, through peer-to-peer multiplayer support. Torchlight II will feature randomly-generated dungeons for the player to explore, and numerous types of monsters to fight for experience and loot.

Torchlight II (Triple Monitors / Eyefinity / Surround) [~4K]

Torchlight II is a dungeon crawler that has an offline single player mode as well as online and LAN multi-player modes. The game has native support for multi-monitor systems, it is fully horizontal plus, the UI is correctly scaled and the most important elements can be centred although some elements are bound to the edges of the screen. The video itself is part analysis, part walkthough and part waffle, my commentary need works I know, need more practice, but feel free to like or dislike my video and comment.

While this video can be watched on any screen it has been encoded to look best on a multi-monitor system, so if your running such a system, then select original quality from the drop down box and watch in fullscreen.
