Mortal Blitz
I recommend it!
…Is what I might say if this were priced at $10. Unfortunately, this is another great example of a good game at a bad price. There’s just not enough content here. You have few enemy types, few gun types, and 5 stages. It does well with what it has and is fun for the first couple playthroughs, but gets old fast. There’s a few reasons for why this is, but let me just lay out one little design decision I can not for the life of me comprehend whatsoever.
UNLOCKS ARE NOT TIED TO THE ACTUAL CORE GAME. AT ALL.

disappointing at first that you can’t move around.
But it’s basically a cover shooter where with progression through each level.
Graphics are great.
Enemies look great. Lots of weapons and stuff to pick up off the floor.
When you do the Telekenisis kill it ranks your kill and I think you use the points to upgrade your weapons.
Intense action. I ran into my wall once.
It’s a keeper.
Update: The game is pretty short. Can be finished in less than an hour…but like any good arcade game it’s meant to be mastered..and it gets pretty hard.

Take Control
Welcome to the future! The golden age of genetic engineering!
After many years of human DNA research, the head of Change The Future Corporation offered the world transgenic implants that pushed the boundaries of human capabilities.
Telekinesis, pyrokinesis, X-ray vision from the comic book pages have become reality.
New abilities shook up the order of things. The army is expecting perfect soldiers. Companies are issuing an ultimatum for their employees to be modified.
Anyone with enough money can purchase an implant that will give them a “superpower” from the constantly expanding list.
Scientific progress leads to an increase in unemployment and the discontent of ordinary people who refuse the implants. Modified criminals are appearing all over the world.
The police cannot control all the “superheroes”. However, the research of genes and the expansion of the list of abilities do not stop.
Change The Future Corporation makes a statement about creating its own security unit that would protect the interests of the company from the most aggressive opponents of modification.
Soon after a new security detachment takes on the responsibility of detecting and neutralizing criminals with superpowers. Its name is DNM (Detachment for Neutralization of the Modified).
You are an operative of Change The Future Corporation, who received an experimental ability to control other people’s consciousness after voluntarily undergoing genetic modification.
You arrive at the corporation’s training ground to pass the obstacle course to fully master the new modification.
Take Control is a single-player action game with puzzle elements. You take on the role of a DNM operative with the ability to control the minds of others.
Features of the game:
Your mind is your main weapon! When the ability is activated, time will stop, and you will switch to the tactical mode.
Study the situation and the environment, come up with a solution for a specific problem, capture your enemy’s mind and force them to execute your plan.
After exiting the tactical mode, the clock will start again, and you will find out whether the actions you chose will let you achieve success.
Use your ability to neutralize enemies!
Or to solve various tasks.
The World of the Future! Over the course of your playthrough you will get to experience an amazing world where the boundaries of the human body have been erased.
Use the environment! Fire-extinguishers, switches, terminals. You are surrounded by objects that can help you win.
Improve yourself! You can’t change your ability but you can improve it!
Star Control®: Origins
I have broken this review into a few sections, because I feel like what you need to know depends on where you are coming from.
You played Star Control 2, and liked it a lot?
You should like this game. It basically follows the same formula in terms of story and gameplay, but with some welcome improvements, such as an automatic story log where you can review key details of past encounters, and a searchable star map with the ability to add your own bookmarks.
There are also some other subtle improvements. Enemy factions have more than one type of ship you will encounter, bringing added variety to combat. Your own allies will only provide one kind of ship, but your flagship can be equipped with a wide variety of different types of weapons and other abilities.

tl;dr; A beautiful and very funny adventure which is drowning in grindy, under- or mis-developed mechanics. [Verdict: 2/5]
=========================================
I have bought the game myself and completed it.
Let’s list all the positives first:
-
Very good art direction overall. Graphics, animations, aliens: all are very well done and a joy to look at.
-
Good story. Nothing super-original, but good enough with some minor twists and turns.
-
Interesting lore: using the main and also side quests there is a lot background information which enriches the world of this game.

All Our Asias
The game was quite surreal. I have gained some insight within the Asian community and addresses true feelings and doubts toward those who are mixed in race from Asia to America. Floating around the atmosphere felt interesting and intriguing, with an old PlayStation One style graphic to help set off the oddity. It’s a free too, so id day give it a try. There are a few things that could make the experience better but doesn’t set off the mood so I’d give it a 7/10.
The graphics are obviously supposed to be unintelligible but in a way gives the player a sense of what it’s supposed to be, as what PSX style is supposed to be. The environment is great, from simplistic looking geometry to image based texture. There are some places that are un-textured, but doesn’t ruin the experience and not that obvious to others who aren’t familiar with engines. I like the empty space, but I would like a bit more on the environment.

Aside from the price, I was intrigued by the title and the visuals. What would this free PS1-style title about multiple Asias be about?
Truth is, after reaching the end I’m still not entirely sure.
Don’t get me wrong, there is a premise and it’s a good one, but I’m not sure I get all the plot in the middle. I found this didn’t matter though as the script was a pleasure to read; it was good quality prose and there was just about the right amount of it.
I wouldn’t say the visuals suit, but I think in “All Our Asias”, the visuals aren’t that important. This is a game where the ethereal whistle of the soundtrack can be recalled many hours later and, I don’t the have the words for it, but the mood and tempo of the game is both melodic and melancholic at the same time.

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation
This is the first review I have ever felt compelled to write. Then again, this is the first game in a long time that has made me this aggravated. The premise of the game is sound and the visual effects are appealing but in the end, the software is simply buggy and incomplete and its apologists paint a false picture of its nature. In my opinion, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation should still be in beta testing.
First, allow me to state that I am a avid fan of Supreme Commander. Like many others, I was enticed by the constant flow of comparisons between Ashes and Supreme Commander and decided to purchase Ashes and judge for myself. Please listen very carefully to me when I say that there is no comparison. In Supreme Commander, one may effortlessly conduct their bloody maelstrom of war in true strategic fashion on vast 81x81km maps. One may wield thousands of units in battle over sprawling plains, clear skies, and open oceans. All players are at the mercy of nuclear missiles, long-range heavy artillery, and titanic, robotic colossi designed to reach across the sheer expanse of the most popular maps and touch some poor, naive soul. All of this grandeur could be witnessed at once from a comprehensive, strategic overview replete with toggles for intelligence radii, weapon radii by type, unit movement queues and patrol routes, and locations at which units are taking damage.

A fun experience with problems.
The Good:
Large scale conflict that runs on my potato with few issues.
Fairly decent campaign with fairly interesting characters and missions.
Hover armies have grown on me.
Decent selection of maps.
Good selection of units between the factions, even if their roles are unclear in the text box.
Army system where units are organised into armies and will micro themselves accordingly (I never use the queue for brining in certain troops to an army however, I prefer to be using my factories at all times making a collection of units and counters.)

Randomlands
I like this game. It’s a fun little wave-based shooter, and it runs really well with no bugs or technical issues. This game is more than worth the asking price, and I definitely recommend it. If you like wave-based FPS games check it out.
