Gemini Rue is every retro point-n-click lovers dream, but also has a great sci-fi story to be told. The pixelated graphics in this game is very nice, but it will not be to everyones taste. For me, even though I am not very nostalgic, I was sucked right into the atmosphere which reminds me of old games like Beneath a steal sky, full throttle and so on.

So Alien Swarm takes alot of its inspiration from the old Amiga game Alien Breed. It is a topdown dualstick shooter, but as the game currently has problems recognizing gamepads, you use WASD for movement, and the mouse for directional aiming.

With crisp graphics, enjoyable storyline and a deep pen and paper roleplaying system at it's core. This game is not to be missed. Although it will not feel as original as say Mass Effect or Fallout 3. It definately has alot of atmosphere, the music and detailed artwork is surprisingly good. Drakensang is based on a german pen and paper roleplaying system, using 3D20, instead of the Dungeons n Dragons (D20) system.…
