Four Sided Fantasy

Platform: Xbox One

Four Sided Fantasy is a wordless, seamless experience in which you have the ability to maneuver past obstacles using screen wrap. When you leave one side of the screen, you wrap around and come out on the other side, much like in Pac-Man or Asteroids. The twist with Four Sided Fantasy is that the player has the ability to toggle screen wrap on and off at any time. Each new season of the year brings a new twist to screen wrap. Just as you think youve mastered a screen wrap mechanic, the world will change its rules and present a new way for you to look at the confines of your screen.

NEW MAP: VERDUN HEIGHTS - The opening barrage of the Battle of Verdun created massive forest fires in which players will fight for domination. This is an uphill battle towards the massive fortresses of Verdun. A constant grinding struggle where the artillery never stops. Where the forge and “the Devil’s Anvil” continues to consume even the bravest combatants. NEW MAP: FORT DE VAUX - The first big engagement inside a fort during World War 1 takes place in the dark underworld of Fort de Vaux. Down in the maze of dark galleries and wet stone corridors, French and Germans fight ferociously with grenades, guns, bayonets, and flamethrowers. Watch your corners. NEW MAP: SOISSONS - Take part in one of the biggest tank assaults of World War 1. The French 10th Army moves to take back Soissons using their powerful Saint Chamond tanks. Planes, tanks, and infantry clash in the beautiful French countryside in the early hours of a hot summer day. Only the thunderstorm is louder than the war. NEW MAP: RUPTURE - In dire need to capture key bridges across the Aisne river, the French find themselves back into battlefields where poppies grow over a rusty wreck from previous tank battles. It might seem calm but this maze of steel beasts provides an excellent place for those who plan an ambush. As the sun sets over Fontenoy, the battle wakes up. [Electronic Arts]

It was supposed to be a simple mission. All I had to do was collect some samples from a contaminated area under the sea. As soon as I left the ship, everything went wrong. Communications were lost and my submarine crashed on the ocean floor. I survived, but my oxygen is running low and I cant contact anyone for help. All I can do is move forward with this operations drone as my only companion. Trouble is, its been acting sort of weird lately. Almost as if its trying to sabotage my mission Anoxemia is a exploration adventure game. It takes place under the sea shortly after Dr. Baileys submarine crashes, leaving him stranded on the ocean floor. Communications with the surface are down, but since hes got a diving suit and an operations drone (ATMA), he figures he might as well carry out his mission. Move the drone around the screen and Dr. Bailey will immediately follow. Lead him through twisty passageways and complex caverns, nab upgrades and items like harpoons and dynamite, collect seaweed samples, and pick up O2 canisters to keep your supply topped up. Its a big, dark world out there, and the mystery of why your sub crashed isnt going to solve itself.

Super Bomberman R

Platform: Switch
March 3, 2017
Since its release in 1985, Bomberman has been a familiar party-battle game for many years. Now, Bomberman is coming back as "SUPER BOMBERMAN R" to Nintendo Switch. In SUPER BOMBERMAN R, the simple rule remains the same: operate the main character (Bomberman), place bombs, and battle with enemies and rivals, but it's coming back in a modern style with 3D stages and photo-real graphics. You can enjoy battles with rivals from all over the world. There is "Battle" mode for maximum of 8 players, and single play "Story" mode (cooperative play for 2 players is possible as well) where players clear each stage one by one, with a big volume of 50 stages. Also, there is a new rule where the condition to clear the stage is not just by wiping out all the enemies. This simple but strategic game with new rules and 3D stages is fun for everyone, from children to adults.
