Monkey King Online is a free-to-play MMORPG inspired by the Chinese epic Journey to the West. Players choose one of four ancient heroes, including the rebellious Monkey King himself, and embark on a quest to bring peace to a broken world.

Real-time combat is enhanced by the ability to ’Invoke the Imortals’ during battle, turning your character into a powerful deity. Monkey King Online can be enjoyed solo, but features a host of robust multiplayer modes, including team dungeons, PvP combat, competitive Arena play, and territorial Guild versus Guild battles.

It’s a good looking game with a rather silly storyline, vibrant characters and the interesting ability to transform into powerful deities during battle. New deities (immortals) are added each month, so should help to keep the gameplay fresh.

Skyhill is a stylish turn roguelike point n click turn based survival game about staying alive when there is no reason to.

You are a resident of Skyhill hotel who survived a biological catastrophe. Your goal is to get out of your penthouse in search of other people and salvation. But all elevators in the building are off and floors are flooded with hazards.

The game features an interesting mix of gameplay mechanics, with point and click adventure style puzzle solving, turn based combat, scavenging, crafting and survival tropes. You also have to plan your movements well, as every move uses up some of your energy, the limited resources mean starvation is a constant threat.

These powers are used to solve a variety of physics based puzzles that require logic and fast reaction speeds.

It’s a very clever and well crafted game that challenges your brain as much as your reflexes.

Hyper Gauntlet is a first person adrenaline fueled, high-speed obstacle game where good twitch reactions are required to be in with a chance of getting a high score.

The game gives out the great feeling of speed (and a little bit of panic) as you hurtle through the endless corridor. Every time you dodge an obstacle your score increases, but at the same time your speed increases too. There is a slow-mo effect that will help you in tight situations, but you’ll still need your wits about you to stand a chance of surviving for any real amount of time.

It’s a fun game that will certainly test your reflexes as it reaches some breakneck speeds, it also features an excellent soundtrack and an addictive ’one more go’ style of gameplay.

Corridors Of Uncertainty is procedurally generated rogue-like with fully destructible maps, a wide array of weaponry and plenty of violence. The Pre-Alpha gives you one life to shoot, kill and demolish your way to the end of the levels, attempting to get as high a score as possible.

The weaponry is great fun to play around with, from lightsabers to rocket launchers, they all pack a punch. You can use 4 different special powers too (focus, swift, fireball, and flash), they have useful effects, such as slowing down time or stunning enemies, but the most useful by far is fireball. As well as rocket launchers and explosive containers, Fireball allows you to blow up walls and terrain. This means that instead of searching for a key-card for a door, you can just blow your way around the door (you can still search for key-cards if you want, but this is way more fun).

Corridors Of Uncertainty can also be played in 2 player local co-op, with one player on mouse and keyboards and the other on a 360 controller. It’s a great game, gameplay is fast, fun and brutal, with Hotline Miami-Style violence, field of view mechanics, special powers, destructible terrain and lightsabers. Corridors of Carnage.

It’s a good looking game, races are fully rendered, use realistic physics and take place on real world race tracks. You manage your team from the pits, able to fully customise and upgrade vehicles, monitor the race and issue commands to your driver. It should make for a more relaxed experience than your typical racing game, but still be action packed, and the 16 player online multiplayer sounds like a blast.
