In-Vivo puts you in the shoes of an alien abductee, trying to escape the spaceship of your captors. Unfortunatley, due to the tranquilisers they have you on, you only have 30 seconds to make your escape, before passing out and being taken to your cell.

Things are made slightly easier by the ’dream state’ you enter when you pass out, allowing you to freely roam around the parts of the ship you visited when you were awake. Although unable to fully interact with anything, it gives you the opportunity to plan your escape. What makes the game even more interesting is that there is no single solution to any problem, with various options available to you to help you escape captivity.

Originally billed as a an MMO slated for release in 2012, latest reports suggest that Transformers Universe has morphed (or transformed) into a PvP MOBA, pitting Autobots Vs Decepticons. Hopefully this is not the case as the world really doesn’t need another MOBA, and a Transformers based MMO sounds pretty damn good.

Sixside is a nice first person free-running platform game, similar to Mirrors Edge, but with Tron style visuals, and MUCH harder.

Players use a combination of wall jumps and platforming skills to traverse the levels as fast as they can while trying to not plummet to their death (which they will). The difficulty is reminiscent of Super Meat Boy, and similarly to SMB, there’s a great satisfaction to be had from pulling off a perfect run and making it to the end of the levels.
