64% Informative

Picayune Dreams is a "bullet heaven" game with more active, challenging combat than poncle's breakout.

Felvidek offers a stripped-to-the-studs retro take on turn-based JRPG combat.

Psychopomp is a psychedelic, disturbing, occasionally outright scary descent into what is either madness, or the true subterranean world that wears our own like a mask.

Judero is a wonderful action-adventure game made out of old GI Joes and claymation.

Straftat has proven a teamwide favorite on PCG , a bat signal for every old school FPS -liker on the crew.

The Black Parade bills itself as an unofficial expansion pack, but it's really more of an unofficial Thief sequel.
