Eleusis - 3d First Person Adventure Horror
A rather creepy slender style game has just appeared, so if you feel like playing with the lights out and head phones on just for a scare, this could well fit the style. This is Eleusis which is a 3d first-person adventure game developed by Nocturnal Works. It takes place in a seemingly abandoned village in Greece where the player character, while trying to seek refuge, finds himself in a place of mysterious events. But all is not as it seems, as this is when the scare factor starts to creep in

Legend of Grimrock 2 Announced : Rpg Dungeon Crawler
Hot News, Almost Human Ltd has just announced Legend of Grimrock 2! Now I've played Legend of Grimrock 1 and not only was it a huge success selling over 600,000 copies in the gaming world, I thought it was bloody brilliant too. It was an epic dungeon crawler, which took many of us back to our roots of crpg goodness, battling creatures and solving puzzles in a grid based movement dungeon system. Basically the Dungeon Master of this generation, with HD graphics and lighting.
Indie Royale - The Chosen Bundle
Another decent bundle from Indie Royale, is The chosen Bundle which contains 5 great indie games chosen by you the gamer. The list features Hard Reset, an explosive FPS with a dark sci-fi, cyberpunk setting, Jolly Rover in a pirate style adventure style, Vertex Dispenser and the recently greenlit (soon on Steam game) DLC Quest. Also included is the bonus game Lair of the Evildoer.
[Kickstarter] Mage's Initiation - Adventure/RPG title
The success of Kickstarter has allowed the rather forlorn and obscure PC adventure genre to have somewhat of a Renaissance of late. This may be due to the rather low production costs involved to create a title and perhaps a reason we're seeing a spurt of successful projects in the genre.
Hoping to become another such title is 'Mage's Initiation' by Himalaya Studios, with the legacy of titles such as Quest for Glory and the King's Quest series, its modest target of $65,000 has already passed the halfway mark in a mere 24 hours.
Lords of Xulima - isometric, turn-based, single-player 2D rpg
A rather unusual game in the type of play style that Lords of Xulima brings to the gamer, as it's an isometric, turn-based, single-player 2D role-playing game. You'll be playing in a top down view while visiting locations and talking to npc's, then battling creatures in a dungeon crawl style turn based combat system. Slightly different in that most rpg battles are fought on the same screen. Lords of Xulima which is developed by Numantian Games, is set in a mythical lost continent called Xulima where the world makers lived in ancient times. The game features a challenging vast world where you will have to command and create a six characters party in an epic story between gods and men.

Grimoire : Heralds of the Winged Exemplar - RPG Dungeon Crawler
Many years ago Grimoire, an RPG Dungeon Crawler was mentioned on a well known forum such as Rpg Codex, however through many promises of a release it never came to pass until today. The developer Cleveland M. Blakemore has a rather iffy past, thus it's a shame for a such a cool looking retro game to be tainted by one person. Grimoire should've been released a long time ago, but through indiegogo funding we finally have a demo.
WarZ - Patch Notes 2/19/2013
Another patch : 2/19/2013 was just released for this Online Zombie Apocalypse game, however there are no zombie glitch fixes and no promised weapons like the Chain Saw. The loot has been well and truly busted these last few days and our clan has become rather bored of the game and it's lack of developer involvement. Oh and did I mention that the public servers are an absolute hack fest!
Games I remember, with a remake - Mega Lo Mania
Another game I remember so well, was Mega Lo Mania, which was an RTS developed by Sensible Software. It was released for the Amiga in 1991, and ported to many other platforms including the Atari ST, Mega Drive/Genesis, Super NES, DOS, and the Sharp X68000. The object of Mega Lo Mania was to conquer 28 islands, divided into nine Epochs that span the history of mankind.
Brutal Doom - Could Doom be any more gorish?
I don't think there are that many people out there that don't know of Doom, it's a very blood thirsty 1993 science fiction horror-themed game by id Software. In Doom, players assume the role of a space marine, who must fight his way through the hordes of invading demons from Hell. But along comes Doom Brutal, a mod which pushes the boundaries of the level of violence that Doom already has.

The game has been updated to support bigger displays and arbitrary resolutions. The downloaded package contains everything including the videos and an automatic update tool
Games I remember, with a remake - Green Beret
Over the next few months I'll be doing articles on the games that I remember and I'm sure many of you will do as well. They will take us back to the time of squealing tapes, or slow loading floppies, a time that many of us enjoyed and when developers put so much gameplay into such small data sizes. You'll be able to play the remakes and relive those times as if they were just released today. Well today it's time to look at Green Beret, an action, arcade platformer from way back in the mid 1980's.
L'Abbaye des Morts - Retro Platformer with a Spectrum ZX flavour

colors, and comparing to Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.
