Mr Meatball looks at Tiny Troopers (Played on PC Win)

The Jools and Jops edition. Cannon fodder-like game, with upgrades and so forth. Arcadey run and gun game. Actually pretty fun! Nice mission variety. I’m pretty sure you can’t drive any vehicles, so that would be cool for the sequel. Also co-op :p Tiny Troopers can be grabbed from Steam.

Mr Meatball looks at Defenders if the Last Colony (Played on PC Win)

4 player local co-op, yum nom dum. In space. It’s a top down dual stick shooter, at heart. But a sligthly different take on the genre, since you can place turrets and “walls”. Some tower defence influences clearly. The characters also level up. Well of course :D Oh I forgot to mention; gamepad is supported, but you could have figured out that one yourselves.

Mr Meatball looks at Rune Masters (Played on PC Win)

Very challenging puzzler, with an RPG-ish campaign. Something for you fast thinkers out there. I’m still not sure about those bottles, did they really refill my mana? It’s an enigma. Well, there’s a classic mode (basically score attack) for us more laid back people. Also with an online leader board. That’s awesome.

Mr Meatball looks at Tribes: Ascend (Played on PC Win)

SHAZBOT! F2P FPS skiier, with jetpacks and tanks. More or less balanced. Capable of unlocking everything just by playing. And so on, and so forth. Did I mention the SHAZBOT? The cause of you slamming your head against the wall?

Mr Meatball preview’s Wooden Sen’SeY (Played on PC Win)

Wooden Sen’SeY is an entertaining platformer with a gorgeous art style. You are chopping down cute monsters, and collecting “grape juice” (apparently called SeY ;). Nice variety to the levels; there’s a submarine level for example.

Mr Meatball preview’s Arcane Worlds (Played on PC Win)

Oh I’ve longed so much for a Magic Carpet-like game. FINALLY! The power is mine. Mwhahaaa. Awesome physics. Preorder and you’ll get (all?) the upcoming builds. Currently this is in pre-alpha. You can fly around, kill some wyverns, build a castle and play around with various terrain altering spells. Demo also available. This ran smooth on my low end system btw, despite all of the physics going on. My current machine is: Unspecified 4870 GFX-card, 4 gig RAM, Win 7 64 bit and an ancient dusty dual core processor. Thought about selling out, soo… Any sponsors? :D

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 AirMech (Played on PC Win)

Transformers thingies. A MOBA game. Very fast paced and arcadey. Oh my poor nerves. But there’s co-op so there’s something for everyone. Currently in beta, and free to play. It seems you’ll only need to sign up and play. How glorious ect.

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.

Mr Meatball previews Under the Ocean (Played on PC Win)

A survival platformer. Fashion tools and hunt for food, among other things. This is currently in alpha, and looks pretty cool. Avoid the bears by the way. They are immortal.
