Mr Meatball previews ZigFrak (Played on PC Win)
Single player space RPG, with MMO mechanics. The sound fx is terribly loud in this video. That’s not my fault, I had to choose between no sound whatsoever or the currently loud effects. I gave up after the third time. You should be able to hear me though. The game is very nice, despite this; very nice indeed. Please give me multiplayer for the sequel. Like some sort of persistent sandbox mode. Would be excellent. I would even pay a small monthly fee. For fraks sake.

Mr Meatball re-looks at Space, Pirates and Zombies (Played on PC Win)
(Un)Life is hard for a zombie pirate in space. The women are cold, and the grog is frozen. Not to mention those fusion blaster turrets, constantly burning through your rotten limbs. SPAZ is a top down real-time space strategy game. Its been out for some time now, but it’s still a good game. Granted it can feel a bit tedious sometimes, and the difficulty is murderous in the beginning. Still worth a playthrough, if you haven’t checked it out yet.

Mr Meatball re-looks at Intrusion 2 (Played on PC Win)
Old school side-scrolling platforming action adventure physics-based shooter. With rideable mutated terror-wolves, and depressed mechs with ultraswords. Feels more or less like Contra, especially the epic boss fights. The physics are a bit wonky, but other then that: Great game.

Mr Meatball previews Path of Exile (Played on PC Win)
Old school (think D2) hack n’ slasher. Free to play, but according to the developers this will not be a pay2win; meaning mostly cosmetic items. God I hope that’s the case. By the way I DID notice the shop changes in Dark Blood Online, my look was before that happened. This is definately enjoyable (one of my favourite words). Some balancing issues remain, and some people aren’t too fond of the graphics. They are okey in my opinion. The art style is very dark and gritty of course, definately more gothic than D3. The difficulty seems to have boosted from previous builds, which is good. I had some trouble with my ranger sometimes, especially against necromancers and teleporting swashbucklers. Might be just that class, or that I was doing something wrong. Well anyways, keep a lookout for this one, and sign up for the beta. EDIT: Of course I meant I finished the first difficulty setting, there are several. Also it would seem a limited real cash shop is online *running to the hills*

Mr Meatball previews BattleZone: Airhunt (Played on PC Win)
Arcadey shmup featuring Mr. Heli and his friends Homing and Missile. Why can’t I ever be serious? Also, notice the totally relevant screenshot. Game looks cool. Blasting stuff is seldom boring. It’s still alpha so there are naturally bugs and so forth. EDIT: Missile lock-on and firing is available using keyboard and mouse.
