"N++ (NPLUSPLUS)" is on sale at 50% off! [:)] Sale ends February 25th! Outstanding Action-Platformer...from the developers: "N++ is a fast-paced, momentum-based platformer about darting around obstacles, narrowly evading enemies and collecting gold in a beautiful minimalist landscape. It’s the first N game on PC since 2004 and we’ve spent those 12 years perfecting the platformer.

N++ is all about using your momentum to complete levels and get high scores, but in this sci-fi world, there’s a slew of inadvertently homicidal enemy robots trying to prevent you from completing your goal.

Through the hand-crafted (NOT procedurally generated) levels, you’ll experience platforming at its most intense. Using only your fluid movement, you need to ‘solve’ each level and get to the exit."

You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

I have Styx but have not tried it yet. I found an excellent sneaking stealth game that's excellent, it's called Shadow Tactics. Tons of help, tooltips, options, and gameplay is excellent. My iPad won't do a link so you have to look it up on Steam. It works perfect with a gamepad.

Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun.

Purchased Styx, for 5,99 Euros it is not much of a loss when it turns out to be not that good. A new Styx (Shards of Darkness) will be released 14th March.

I also own the game you mention, Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun, and I absolutely like it!

"Ironcast" is on sale at 50% off! [:)] Sale ends February 28th! From the developers: "Inspired by Victorian era science fiction writers such as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, Ironcast is set in an exciting alternative history; a time when refined men and women in top hats and bonnets commanded gigantic walking war machines, laying waste to the enemies of the British Empire! Take control of a 7 meter tall walking vehicle called an Ironcast and face off against an invading force of enemy Ironcast in order to defend 1880's Victorian England.

Battles are fought by generating resource nodes which in turn drive the Ironcast's various weapons and systems. You must choose how to spend these nodes wisely, either offensively in order to cripple and destroy your opponents, or defensively, if they suspect a barrage of incoming weapons fire is due."

"ICEY" is on sale at 25% off! [:)] Sale ends March 2nd! From the developers" ICEY is a 2D side-scrolling action game. As you follow the narrator's omnipresent voice, you will see through ICEY's eyes and learn the truth about her world.

“Alright, you caught me! This ISN'T really just a simple 2D action game, and you WON'T be seeing through ICEY's eyes... NOR will you learn the truth about her world." says the narrator.

“ICEY is a Meta game in disguise. The narrator will constantly urge you in one direction, but you must ask, "Why? Why am I following his directions? Why can't I learn the truth about this world and ICEY's purpose here?" Fight against his tyranny, and uncover what's really going on for yourself!

In fact, you can become ICEY, and let loose the shackles of your own identity. You are ICEY, and ICEY is you... if you want it that way. Feel free to keep hold of your own self, if you wish."

Hmm... I recall reading something funny related to this. Teacher had made a call to 911 and told his student had brought a bomb to school. Suspected bomb was examined thoroughly with x-ray and stuff. Apparently it took some time to figure it out suspected bomb did not have any explosive ordnance. I wonder does that game have scenarios like this on it.

Same ones come up as you would expect. Sometimes a variation.
But it is a fun game. Played it with my 8 year old and his mom got mad at us.

"Don't tell him about drugs..he doesn't know what they are.."

he answered most of the calls really well. Especially the 'dumb' one about someone calling to report a car parked in his spot.
