Ah, finally after some time VORTEX pre’d another Xbox 360 release right here. I don’t know if this will be downloaded very much, but if you want to download it, here it is. I’ll let it pass.. Btw: it is region-free.. hooray..

In Asterix at the Olympic Games, players can choose from two playable characters, Asterix and Obelix, and switch between them throughout a series of escapades, including physical challenges and brainy problem-solving. The “adventure mode” plays out the love story involving Brutus, Lovestorix and the Grecian Princess Irina, whilst the “antique mode” offers players the chance to compete in over ten disciplines as 12 playable characters, notably a host of our friends from Gaul and athletes from countries of olden times. The more sardonic player could even choose to play as Brutus. There is of course a hearty dose of Roman bashing too. Tutorial videos and excerpts from the feature film appear throughout the game to bring the world of Asterix to life.

Heh, looks like SKIDROW is on fire! They just pre’d another release: King’s Bounty: The Legend. I have never heard of this game before (should I be ashamed?) but whatever. It looks… okay. I really don’t know anything about it so i’ll let you decide guys

King’s Bounty: The Legend is an adventure game with tactical turn-based battles and role-playing elements. In a fairy tale fantasy world of fearless knights, evil mages, wise kings and beautiful princesses the player controls a hero. Leading their character through the game world, exploring it, commanding armies in battle and accomplishing various quests can mean great reward or huge defeats.

Gameplay is divided into two major sections: adventure mode and battle mode. While playing in adventure mode the gamer controls their character in real-time. With several classes available at the start of a new game, the player moves through the adventure map seeking various treasures, fighting monsters and accomplishing quests tasked to him by the local stewards. Once in battle mode the gamer assumes the role of a war chief, leading his troops in tactical turn-based combat. Battles take place on land or sea, in dungeons or castles or even in some items! The hero himself doesn’t participate in the combat, but can assist his troops by casting spells or summoning different creatures.

Game features:

• Real-time (adventure) meets turn-based (battles) gameplay
• Rich fantasy setting, storyline with a lot of twists and an unexpected ending
• Three types of characters to choose from – Warrior, Paladin and Mage. Each of them with unique characteristics and abilities
• Huge game world with dozens locations and battlefields – both on the surface and in the dungeons
• The game world isn’t static - enemies don’t just sit and wait for the hero to arrive, they pursue their own aims and try to get into the player’s way

Ah, another RELOADED release right here, for the PC (ofcourse). I’m talking about a small game called ‘Pipe Mania’. I think most of you don’t know this game but if you have nothing to do (which I doubt, with all the game-releases at the moment) you might just take this one. You can’t really ‘waste’ bandwith on a 500+MB file, can you?

Pipemania is a fast-paced puzzle game in which players lay down a pre-ordained set of pipes on a tiled grid in order to keep the Flooze, a constant flowing substance that speeds up with progression, moving through the pipes as long as possible without overflowing. Players will need to be fast with their fingers and utilize quick and forward thinking, precise coordination, and keen awareness if they plan to survive the time constraints, pressure and accuracy needed to navigate through the game. There is no chance for players to let their guard down, as complication increases with new elements as players progress through the game.

Pipemania tests players’ skills in five different game modes - world, arcade, bonus, multiplayer, classic, and best of the all - the original Pipemania game. Players navigate through more than 70 levels with seven different themes in order to build their Island World. The frantic puzzle game offers hours of entertainment with enhanced visuals, new play mechanics, multiple attacks and damages, various Floozes, and an army of characters for players to help and hinder along the way. The entire game can be played in single player or in co-op for competitive play between two players.
