Lugaru HD
Even if you don’t read any more of this review, just read the next sentence. The GAMEPLAY of this game is INCREDIBLE.
Lugaru is pretty much my favourite game. I was gifted it in Humble Bundle 2 and I spent at least thirty hours playing it before I added it to Steam. The combat is absolutely awesome and I keep finding little tricks and moves I had no idea about even after playing 25+ hours, like spinning and throwing a weapon at the same time. The campaign is pretty straightforward but the challenge levels are where I’ve spent the largest amount of time. Because the gameplay is so excellent, I keep coming back again and again and again because it’s so much fun. The hand-to-hand combat requires different strategies depending on whether you’re facing off against a rabbit (easier) or a wolf (harder) and the weapons are a lot of fun.

(I tried to make this as spoiler free as I could while still expressing my recommendation)
Lugaru is honestly one of the best and most powerful games I have ever played. Believe it or not, I actually fell in love with Lugaru for it’s story primarily, aswell as it’s music, and it’s gorgeous visuals. This will come as a surprise to many I’m sure because Lugaru is famous for it’s excellent combat system, and make no mistake it’s combat system is the main focus of the game and the main draw for the most part, and for good reason. The combat system is fantastically complex all while using a grand total of about 7 buttons to control the character and the combat is wonderful.

City of Rampage
City of Rampage is a side-scrolling beat’em up game inspired by such SEGA Classics as “Streets of Rage” and “Comix Zone”, with advanced fighting mechanics, with challenging tough enemies and even tougher bosses.
This journey won’t be easy, but beautiful hand drawn visuals and dope soundtracks will make sure you will be coming back for more.
See you in City of Rampage!

This is a good game as of right now. What could make it better is more PVE modes, and a online mode. That would make a game have a lot more playability. This is still a great game to play with the boys with some bitchin boys night out music.

Marc Eckō’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
An interesting and long forgotten PS2 game.
Before I say anything, name a game in your head where you play as a graffiti artist who tags his name across everything as he makes his reputation be known to a highly oppressive government. Can you think of any besides Jet Set Radio? Well whatever the case, you have to admit that this game is really unique in that feature.
Marc Ecko’s Getting Up is a game primarily made by a guy who said gamers should get up off their butts and buy his games, where you play as a 20-something year old male named Trane who wants to tag his name everywhere across the city just for the sake of getting his name up. All while he is doing this he faces a dangerous graffiti gang called the Vandals of New Radius and an oppressive regime of “peace-keepers” called the CCK, led by the government to stop vandalism and defacement of property to build a better and cleaner way of life in the city of New Radius.

What I liked about the game
-
Loads of unlockable content.
-
There are loads of side activities in the missions like bonus graffiti, legend photos, Freedom challenges, and collecting Ipod songs or upgrades, which are all optional.
-
You get to select the artwork before you start a mission and as you complete missions more content will become available; you get to choose from a large range of stickers, graffiti, posters, and stencils.
-
Awesome characters like Trane, Decoy and Tina.

Deadbeat Heroes, a game that will give you a heroic feeling once you finish it! Unless you play in co-op - not expecting the game to get harder when another player joins … - I wouldn’t recommend this game to :dea:dbeats: the bosses are surprisingly easy, and even the final boss, Prime Sinister, is (relatively) easy, but especially the last 2 chapters took me some time to successfully complete (taking into account the required grade/score) – 10-2 & 10-3 being brutally hard in my opinion. What plays a part as well in this, are the visual explosions; it’s all very aesthetically pleasing, but that makes it harder to not get hit by hordes of enemies. Since you need to aim for a bunch of combos for the grade, being careful is rarely an option to compensate the hit chance, so there’s a bit luck involved here and there – fortunately not calling it a game that requires trial and error, because I’d estimate it’s 40% responsiveness, 30% tactics, 10% accuracy (feels like there’s an ‘aiming assist’), 10% luck & 10% fearlessness (there’s a lot at stake after some progress due to the lengthier missions, and completion = fail if you don’t achieve the required grade).

Remember Me
The year is 2084. The location is in Neo-Paris, France in a cyberpunk world. You can see the Eiffel Tower and other landmarks in the distance, but you can interact with them or enter them. This is the setting for Remember Me, an original game that illustrates how technological advances can harm people.
You play Nilin, a memory hunter with amnesia. You are sent by a revolutionary group to take down a corporation, Memorize, that can sell, trade, or erase memories. In this dystopian world you get a Euro feel when walking by open-air cafés and when distinctly colored robots are standing near you. You are trying to recover whatever memories Nilin has lost from one episode to the next. The world looks beautiful, but there is strong evidence of significant poverty and the oppressor having significant power over the oppressed.

I do recommend this game, but not for everybody, and perhaps not even for most people. Read further through the review to see if you might find it worthwhile or not.
First, the story and enviornment, since this is really the interesting part of the game.
Part of the dystopian premise here is standard fare: environmental problems push a vast portion of the world’s population into squalor, with the instability spreading to the first world, leading to civil unrest, war, and eventually a civil war that fractures Europe. The interesting science-fiction twist is a technology that allows people to extract, move and share memories. The game doesn’t look in to this in the kind of depth a good science fiction novel would, but rather uses this mainly as a structure to support the plot. While the writing and acting has quite a few awkward moments, the overall story certainly avoids being a straight “good vs. evil” tale, instead being considerably more interesting. As Nilin, part of a plot to bring down an ostensibly evil corporation taking over the world, you’ll find that things swiftly become uncomfortably unclear. Your very first memory remix involves bringing someone over to your side by convincing her that the corporation killed her husband, which I doubt anybody with a conscience could feel comfortable with if they take the story even moderately seriously. As you proceed, you’ll find yourself wondering on a regular basis who the good guys really are, or even if there are any. While there are a few characters who fit into the “evil villain” mold, all the rest have plausible reasons for what they do, and nobody comes out purely good or bad. This gives the story a pleasing depth that most games don’t have, and does a lot to make up for failings in the gaming elements.
