For those unfamiliar, here are the official descriptions of the games included:

Code of Princess – On sale for $19.99

Blending frantic fighting with elements of classic arcade side-scrolling beat ’em ups and the character development and growth of an RPG, fans of action will savor the game’s frenetic combat.

Soul Hackers – On sale for $29.99 (Review Here)

Soul Hackers is a first-person RPG that takes place in the futuristic Amami City. The city is permeated by Paradigm X, a virtual reality world that connects the entire populace.  The main character is thrust into conflict when he accidentally gets his girlfriend possessed by the demon Nemissa. Soul Hackers carries on the first-person RPG play in the same vein as other games in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. The graphical style remains faithful to the original 1997 version, but is optimized with 3-D graphics for the Nintendo 3DS system.

Set out into the clouds aboard a skyship to explore Tharsis’s oldest mystery.

Earlier today Ubisoft announced the development of an exciting new browser based strategy game called Panzer General Online. This revival of the old 1994 classic, Panzer General, is being developed by Ubisoft’s Blue Byte Studio who are best known for publishing the popular ANNO series and developing The Settlers for PC. To date, Ubisoft have released no less than five free-to-play games that you can play in your browser and claim that this game will give players the opportunity to accurately control every aspect of historical warfare.

Players will be able to control planes, tanks, infantry, and more in either the comprehensive single player tutorial mode or against other gamers across the world in multiplayer mode. Panzer General Online will also feature a trading card aspect whereby players can acquire virtual miniatures of tanks, infantry, and planes that they can either trade or collect to make their own miniature army. More of a skill based game than one that can be won by the luck of the draw, Panzer General Online will offer an experience that can be enjoyed by people who are new to the strategy genre as well as veterans.

Panzer General Online is set to enter closed beta in 2013. To pre-register for the game head over to the official website and sign up. You can also check out the announcement trailer embedded below.

KickBeat_PS36

KickBeat is an upcoming game for the PS3 and PS Vita which has you keep in time with the rhythm to perform awesome kung fu attacks to defeat a bunch of enemies. Think Guitar Hero/Dance Dance Revolution but with less visual cues and more fighting. If you’re still confused, the trailer at the bottom of this article should clear things up.

Obviously the most important part of any music based game are the tracks themselves. KickBeat comes with 18 licensed tracks that you will play through as you progress in the story mode, but for those who want more of a selection or are very picky about their music, Zen Studios has given players the option to use their own music to kick butt to. The process is as simple as tapping the button to the beat to establish the key rhythm of the song, so using your own music should be a breeze. If you’re looking to get KickBeat when it releases on September 3rd, let us know what music you will be fighting to. Personally I can’t wait to unleash some fury to some high energy techno tracks!

teslagrad-02

Rain Games has released the first public playable demo of Teslagrad, the magnetic puzzle-sidescroller adventure scheduled for release this coming fall. The demo is available for Windows, Linux and MAC OSX. The demo build features the first steps of the adventure, a final boss fight, and will contain some clues about the legendary struggle between the ancient Teslamancers and the embittered king.

To celebrate the demo launch, Rain Games are also hosting an exciting competition. Nine secret scrolls have been hidden within the darkest nooks of the Tesla Tower and players are challenged to find them all to discover more about the Elektropian History and the past of the misterious main character. Only few will find those nine pieces, and just the best will do it in a record time. If you think you’re up for the challenge, you can take part in the Speedrun Tourney yourself and compete for prizes. You can read more details on the rules here!

Teslagrad-Screens-3

Key Features of Teslagrad include:

  • Complex puzzles! Put your sense of logic to the test and cleverly manipulate the world around you using electricity and magnetism, the lifeblood of the game. Puzzles will range from “pff, that wasn’t so bad” to keyboard-smashing, controller-chewing frustration.
  • Explore! Make your way through rich 2D hand-drawn surroundings as you journey into — and beyond—  Tesla Tower, as you discover and use amazing new items.
  • Visual storytelling! Tired of all those words in your video games? Have no fear, Teslagrad features not a single snippet of text or squeak of dialogue. Everything is purely visual, and the entire story is told through what you see (and sometimes what you don’t see).
  • Steampunk powered! Discover a dystopic and mind-blowing rainy-and-brainy setting, presenting a steampunk vision of an old Europe-inspired new world.
  • Old-school boss fights! Use your skills and wits to overcome the 5 incredible final bosses eager to demagnetize you.
  • No disruptions! That means no loading screens, no GUI, no cutscenes. Just the game and you.
  • Mesmerizing soundtrack!  Awesome mix of classical orchestra,  with a touch of Russian inspiration and a myriad of metal bit and electrical stuff.

If you would like to see the game for yourself, you can download the demo right now through a direct download or through Desura. The full game will be made available this fall for the PC, Wii U and PS3.

This best of the best is 30% off Don’t Starve at Greenman Gaming. Add the coupon GMG20-4B9NY-L4FEN at checkout to receive an additional 20% off the game. Frankly, it is one of my favourite indie games of all time. The game is still in active development. It takes all the tension of the first few days of Minecraft’s survival mode and amps up the terror and insanity to a whole new level. The game’s art direction takes cues from The Nightmare Before Christmas to create something unique.
