Goat Simulator
The game is a milestone in the evolution of Goat simulators, with it's advanced physics engine and engaging game play it's sure to be
one of the best games of 2014. On a serious note the game requires you to cause destruction by moving the goat around and causing
havoc, the more destruction you make the greater the points you acquire.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition
A up-scaled port of the Vita version of the game hits the PC. play the Batman games in a classic twist of 2.5D gameplay and learn more
about the world of Gotham and the characters who reign terror on this city. The game is nearly the same as it's bigger brother at a fraction
of the price, well worth picking up if your are into the Batman mythology & lore.
Halo: Spartan Assault
Halo makes a return for the PC since the release of Halo 2, luckily it doesn't require vista and it's using Steamworks, however it's not a
FPS. Halo: Spartan Assault is a top down shooter at heart and tells the story of the how the Spartan Ops program came to be.
Eterium
Eterium is a space flight sim in the vein of classic games from that genre in the 90's - 'You play as a pilot serving aboard United Earth
Alliance carrier Canopus during a war against an vicious alien race known as the Revi.'
Life Goes On - Submitted by More_Badass
As its core, Life Goes On may seem like just another platformer. You dodge spikes and flames, jump over gaps, and evade all manner of
different traps and hazards. But in this game, death is not the end, but rather a tool at your disposal. Your demise leaves a corpse in your
wake, allowing you to build safe passage across danger with your dead bodies or leave your corpses on pressure plates. This mechanic
gives Life Goes On a great sense of black humor and allows for interesting challenges not possible in other puzzle platformers.
Dark Souls II
It's the sequel to Dark Souls, good luck.
Fract OSC - Submitted by More_Badass
Fract OSC is an open-world exploration puzzle game set in a world built on sound. This abstract landscape of abandoned machinery
and looming mechanisms is your playground to manipulate and discover, using music and sound to activate machines and solve puzzles.
You can even create and share your own musical masterpiece through an in-game studio
Shovel Knight - Submitted by vermadas
Okay, so it's not 100% confirmed for April, but "a few weeks after" March 31st sounds like it to me. This game hearkens back to 8-bit
Capcom and takes more than a fair share of inspiration from the likes of Mega Man and Ducktales. If that's not enough for you, Jake
Virt Kaufman is doing the soundtrack. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. What's sad is that Shovel Knight is probably ranked 3rd on games
I'm most anticipating for April behind Dark Souls 2 and Trials Fusion. I can't remember the last time so many titles that I've been highly
anticipating were coming out within a short time span.
