I have a soft spot for indie titles. They don’t have the big budget of a triple A title but for what they lack in terms of finance and man power, they always make up for with bucket loads of heart and determination. Triple-B-Titles’ Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages certainly fits the bill in that department. Powered by the hard work and dedication of Enrique and Paul Dryere, the two brothers have transformed a dream into reality. Without any prior experience in video game development, the two have spent the last six years painstakingly building Ring Runner, from the coding, to the soundtrack, even writing an accompanying novel.

“There aren’t enough shooters” Said no one ever.

Of all the gaming genres we have to choose from these days, few are as overflowing with titles as the ever-popular shooter category. Zombie Studios, the folks behind the free to play Blacklight: Retribution, have once again charged into the brimming market, this time with Special Forces: Team X for Steam and XBLA. Focusing solely on multiplayer action, this cell-shaded shooter puts a promising new spin on map-selection and throws killer dobermans around like it’s nobody’s business; yet even with all its attempts at variety, can it really differentiate itself as something special or is it just another cover-based gun game trying to find space behind an already-crowded concrete barrier?

It seems that in the past year there have been less and less original ideas for games as almost every second title is either a sequel or franchise reboot that no one really wants. As a result, I am always a little excited to try games that at the very least try to walk the path less travelled.

Dishonored is set in a fictional English town, Dunwall, which has become overrun with plague from rats and infected humans. You play as the mysterious Corvo Attano, the Empress’ bodyguard framed for her murder. Your goal is to exact revenge upon those who have framed you for the crime and rescue the Empress’ daughter from captivity.

High above the city streets, as the rains pours from the night sky, a man paces. Hearing a noise, he moves to investigate. Looking above and around, he shrugs it off as little more than paranoia. A flick of a dart and the light above shatters… it’s an ominous sign of what’s to come. Shaken, the guard pulls out a flashlight and begins his search.

A shadow creeps slowly from above, the sheen of the blade revealing its deadly intentions. The guard feels a hand over his mouth and the sword at his back, but it’s all too late. It’s a flawless kill, just one of many – and it’s this sense of empowerment that lifts Mark of the Ninja above many of its big-budget contemporaries.

When someone mentions MMO, the first title that’ll come to mind for most is the behemoth that is World of Warcraft. The success of Blizzard’s flagship has spawned many challengers attempting to replicate what the powerhouse has done with the genre. Despite the many newcomers staking a claim on a major slice of the WoW pie; most of fallen, disappearing into an obscure existence where they live out their days.

One finer example that has held its ground over the years, co-existing alongside World of Warcraft‘s dominance is Guild Wars. Seven years in the making, fans of the MMO now have a sequel and what an MMO experience Guild Wars 2 turned out to be!

Shadowrun has been around since its inception back in 1989. A fantasy world set in a dystopian, cyber-punk future where humans, orcs, elves, trolls, dwarves and many other sub-species co-exist. Cyber-netics, magic, mega-corporations and cyber-crimes are all part of the norm, setting a perfect playground in which many have spent countless hours immersed in the hundreds, upon hundreds of various media for more than two decades.

The man responsible for bringing this imagined world to life is Jordan Weisman, an American game designer, author and entrepreneur who looks set to bring the Shadowrun to the forefront yet again. Along with his talented team at Harebrained Schemes, the studio were able to amass a record amount of funding through Kickstarter to produce Shadowrun Returns, a sequel twenty-years in the making.
