Alpha Beta Gamer

Vapor is a virtual interpretation of Samsara, in which players will find themselves wandering through the cycle of reincarnation, through means of exploration and visual inference.

Similar to LSD: Dream Emulator, the player is dropped in worlds laced with intricacy, one after another, progressing further into a void saturated with uncertainty. The subconscious knowledge that the developer is holding the reigns of our experience completely dissolve, and we’re left with nothing but an alien environment, unfamiliarity, and our own thoughts to get through it all.

Alpages: The Five Books is a freaky survival horror game packed with terrifying scares and drop-dead gorgeous visuals (The GIFs above don’t do it justice).

In Alpages: The Five Books you’re tasked finding five books scattered across the beautifully rendered night-time countryside. The catch? Each time you collect a book you unleash another freaky supernatural being into the game. These beings all have different abilities and characteristics, but they do all have one thing in common - they want you dead.

Still early in development, the level of detail in is staggering - the visual effects and local wildlife that roam the landscape make for a game that is as beautiful as it is frightening. Seeing the silhouette of a stag dancing across the horizon as lighting cracks through the air is an amazing experience. Also quite remarkable is how quickly this feeling of awe can turn into dread as the terrifying entities you unleash show up.

Alpages: The Five Books is a game that stuns you, both with beauty and with terror, making for a riveting experience from start to finish. Highly Recommended.

Star Rangers is an impressive astronaut simulation game created in collaboration with NASA which allows you to explore the solar system, land on planets, build base camps and go where no man has gone before.

Thanks to NASA’s guidance, everything in game feels like it could be possible in real life (albeit with some slightly more advanced technology than we have at the moment).

The current build is still very early in development, so there are some rough edges and they haven’t implemented saving yet (they’re working on it), but it does support online multiplayer so you can build your base with friends. The attention to detail and guidance of NASA in Star Rangers has helped build a truly authentic feeling space exploration experience. One small step for man, one giant leap for astronaut simulation games.

Coming to PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One and Wii U, Guns, Gore & Cannoli is essentially a shiny new Metal Slug with old school gangsters – and it’s a blast.
