Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition PC

Release Date: 
Developer: Capcom

Summary: 

In Resident Evil 4, Special Agent Leon S. Kennedy is dispatched on a mission to rescue the U.S. President’s daughter who has been kidnapped. Wending his way to a rural village in Europe, he faces new threats that are a departure from the traditional lumbering zombie enemies of the earlier installments in the series. Leon battles horrific new creatures infested by a new threat called Las Plagas and faces off against an aggressive group of enemies including mind-controlled villagers that are tied to Los Illuminados, the mysterious cult which is behind the abduction.




Arguably the best Resident Evil game made so far brought to Steam with Achievements, high defiition textures and the same ass-kicking factor as the game had on its release for only 20 god damn dollars? 


This time, the conversion of this classic is loyal to the original game published in 2005 on GameCube. Even if this is a lazy port, technically speaking, it is still one of the best survival horror games ever made, and you ought to play it if you didn't before. Period.

Half Minute Hero: The Second Coming PC



Release Date: 
Developer: Opus

  • Summary:
  •  You have 30 seconds to save the world....again. Half Minute Hero: The Second coming is the bigger and badder sequel to the world' fastest RPG. Finally available outside Japan exclusively on Steam. Find a quest, level up, equip some loot, and slay the Evil Lord, all in half a minute.



Awesome sequel.
Even though I still agree hmh 1 was better and had the certain charm. You just can't justify giving this game a below 8
 score!!

for me Hmh1 was just better because the idea was new. I think it's quite hard to make a sequel to games with a certain gimmick. Adding a lot of cool new stuff is hard in a game totally based on the '30 second' idea.

I still adored the art, music and the bosses, and i'll probably find myself grinding and speedrunning again! certainly worth it. And big thumbs up to teh developers to give the permanent 25% off for hmh1 owners (steam)

Strider PC

Release Date: 
Developer: Double Helix Games

Summary: 

Originally released in 1989, Strider remains one of Capcom's most enduring franchises. The game tells the story of Hiryu, the youngest ever "Super A" ranked agent of an elite corps known as the Striders. Strider Hiryu receives orders to assassinate Grandmaster Meio, supreme dictator of Earth, who has plunged humanity into a dystopian dark age. 







They took the classic Strider Arcade Gameplay and combined it with a Super Metroid like Gameplay. The end result is close to perfection.Fantastic job to the developers. I cannot find any real flaws with it, right now. Yes its retro but its done remarkably well. Now, if only they would be willing to make a "Ninja Warriors Again" using this gameplay style.

Best reboot of a game I have played in years. Double Felix got it right! This feels and plays like the Original from 1989. The music isawesome , sound and effects are all topnotch. The price is also fair for being an arcade game . Instant buy!

Child of Light PC


  • Release Date: 
  • Developer: Ubisoft Montreal

  • Summary: 
  • Child of Light is a digital download, 2D side-scrolling role-playing game inspired by the art style of Studio Ghibli.



Great game. Took me some time to get into it but it was worth it. Interesting story, its like one of those fairy-tails told to kids. Yourcompanions are great and there are many of them to chose from. Combat can get annoying at times. Bit on the short side for an rpg.

Mercenary Kings PC


Release Date: 
Summary: 

Craft your arsenal to avenge your fallen comrades and save the world from the fearsome forces of CLAW. Save the world. In this frantic 2D action game, you are part of the Mercenary Kings, the most skilled team of warriors-for-hire on Earth. When your comrades have fallen and the fearsome forces of CLAW have seized an island-wide top secret Laboratory Base, you must do what it takes to stop them. But you're not going in unprepared - as backup you've got a crew of rogue geniuses and experts in their field. Able to craft and customize guns'n'blades or upgrade your body armour, you've never been this ready to join the fight.





Now, I'm the first to admit that I was skeptical of this game at first, retro graphics are a bit of a fad, and, it seemed like they took some old game-play and slapped a poorly thought crafting system onto it. But even as a beta, the game is showing a lot of promise with a robust weapons crafting system, a decent soundtrack, a fair price, surprisingly good art design, and solid controls. Now, keep in mind this was written while the game is in beta. But even in beta this game is definitely worth it
