Medal Wars : The First One - A Cannon Fodder style shooter with a sense of humor (kickstarter/demo)

Here comes Medal Wars, which is a new a project by Bluestargeneral, that's currently going through a kickstarter and on Steam Greenlight. This WW1 title aims to give you that little bit of a nostalgic taste of the old school retro game Cannon Fodder, but far more up to date with tons of cool features.  You take the role of a fresh recruit with your madman partner "buddy" in an isometric shooter game to save the inept Green Army from total destruction. Although it's a ton of fun, it's completely bonkers with a cartoonish design and plenty of humor. A game that should hopefully be a succesful kickstarter, but that's down to you!

Wyv and Keep - A stylish grid-based action/puzzle game now for Linux (+DEMO)

Developed by A Jolly Corpse is a highly developed stylish grid-based action/puzzle game titled Wyv and Keep, which has just been released for Linux. This game was a fun yet popular title, which was originally developed for the PC, MAC and XBOX 360, so now even Linux users can join in too. Graphics are of high quality with plenty of fun puzzles to keep that re playability going. As the developer states :  The central gameplay focus is on puzzle solving using a joint team effort, and in some instances, precise timing and action-puzzle navigation are key. For the bulk of the adventure, the ultimate goal is to navigate past a series of obstacles and activate a switch to open the level's exit and advance to the next stage.

Skyward Collapse : turn-based 4x simulation god-game released! (+Demo)

Arcen Games, Developers of AI War, the hit space game have just released The SkyWard Collapse, a turn-based 4x simulation god-game. Unlike other god games whereby you use your god like powers to smash the opposition, this is about keeping the peace. Many miles up in the sky is a floating landmass and it's here you spend time in development and the overseeing of two warring factions, The Greeks and The Norse.

This is either a solo or co-op game, help both sides, grant each side new buildings, resources and even more people. Sound fun? Well there's plenty to do here it seems and it's a far deeper game than explained, so watch the trailer, check out the demo and perhaps spend some money ;)

Curse Of Enchantia - Core Design's classic adventure Amiga version, is now available for your PC (Remastered/Remade)

TheCompany.PL are at it again with another great Amiga-PC game release, and this time, it's none other than Curse Of Enchantia. This was a great classic adventure, that was not only fun to play, it was also rather challenging. The artwork and animation were also pretty good too! However, there was a down side, and that was that it didn't have a lot of conversation and contained simple action game sequences.  But to be fair, Curse of Enchantia was also Core Design's first attempt in the adventure genre, as they set up to compete with LucasArts and Sierra On-Line. A bold move as LucasArts/Sierra were one of the greatest adventure creators of our time. This game also appeared on the PC, though which version is better is down to personal choice.

Nvidia Geforce 320.18 WHQL Graphics Drivers

Nvidia has released the latest Nvidia GeForce 320.18 WHQL driver, which is a GeForce Game Ready driver for Metro: Last Light providing up to 10% faster performance and Microsoft WHQL certification. Although not strictly Indie/Retro related, you will need the latest drivers in most situations even if this one is for Metro.  However to note, I'd recommend avoiding this driver for the time being as it can suffer from the same issue as the previous 320.x beta drivers, with system freeze ups being reported.

Bundle Stars - The Outlaw Bundle, 4 great games for under 1$!

An incredible deal once again from the company of Bundle Stars, as they have just released the Outlaw bundle, which contains 4 great games all for under $1. This is much less than these games deserve, especially as Robin Hood is a top quality Stealth-Based RTS in similarity to Commandoes. But even so, PAM, Pacific-Storm and RIP Trilogy are pretty good too. From Vehicle based, to rts, and an arcade shooter, i'd recommend this bundle to anyone!

Cymbil Spellcraft - Something different? How about this Co-Op Action RPG ARPG Creator Toolset Kickstarter!

A new multi-style of game by developers Eyeshock, is currently going through a kickstarter, and with what it has on offer, it might be worth a pledge! This is Cymbil Spellcraft, a story driven action RPG for both single player and co-op multiplayer gaming. But that's not all, as it also hopes to give new rpg game designers the tools to create new adventures with a Cymbil toolset. The developers have created a game from the inspiration of legacy RPG's such as Secret of Mana and other such well known classics, so it could be a pretty fun experience!

JETPACK: Escape from temple - Jetpack powered platformer

Developed by sheigeno is a neat little platformer that's all about a guy that is lost in a temple, of which he must escape from. Luckily at his disposal is a Jetpack that can help him reach places that most would never be able to reach. JETPACK: Escape from temple will give you just enough enjoyment to say "hey this is a pretty good game", but watch out for the enemies and obstacles as they will most likely kill you.  There's plenty more to this small title, but I'll let you play to find out ;)

Angry Farmer - Lets do some PVP RTS trolling! (Kickstarter)

Classed as the first "troll" social farm game with full pvp, comes a game where you compete against another player in a crazy farming experience. This is Angry Farmers, by developers MadSword. But as you can probably tell by the cover shot, this is no ordinary farming game. Farming collides with fast paced combat and dynamic battles, through the use of strategy and skill experimentation. What also makes this game unique, according to the developers, is unlike other "social" games which you play all by yourself and visit your friends only once per day, in Angry Farmer you can play with your buddies all day long. The colourful design really stands out and add that to the simplicity of the game, it could be a lot of fun!

The developer Jon Dibble and soundtrack creator Ben Rawles has just announced (in their words), a Vivid fast-paced action RPG, called Reobirth: Magic's Awakening. The animation in this game looks superb and it also draws inspiration from such memorable classics such as Secret of Mana and Super Metroid. In this game you play as a character in a world of magic and mystery, with intense battles against unique creatures, and big bosses with challenging adventures across strange yet beautiful landscapes.
