Essentially Mario Kart without the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Map design is clever, the racing is tense, and the power-ups are carefully designed. Lengthy campaign, too.

An ambitious blend of FPS and RTS. Strong gunplay. When Commanders and Soldiers work together, co-op with strangers has never been so fun.

Can you actually do much with this thing? Yes. A large number of game types work surprisingly well through the interface. And it's great for prototypes.

Tense, hilarious and oddly relaxing. The Ship is like first-person Clue except everyone is guilty. You are simultaneously hunter and prey.

Dripping with atmosphere, this turn-based strategy features a lengthy campaign, engaging battle system and a world that's hard to leave.

This 2D MOBA does not bear the shackles of its 3D bretheren which make the genre stale; Awesomenauts is inventive and well-made (despite dodgy netcode).

Despite some flaws, this FPS is a strong candidate for Best Modern Shooter, thanks to good controls, a clean visual style and the winning CS formula.

Very polished platformer with a large number of unlockables, enemies and mechanics. An exhilarating challenge that never feels unfair. Underappreciated.

Combines the best elements of the traditional ARPG formula with a wealth of new, smart ideas. Unparalleled character building and a great F2P model.
