Kolobok: The Game (Arcade)

Honeycake village is attacked by wicked bugs. To help his neighbors, Kolobok decides to go on a search for ants, the long-time protectors of the village. But, having got to the anthill, he discovers that most of the ants have left their home, and those who have stayed are now ruled by Mantis, mage and advisor of the ant queen. Mantis claims that the ant queen departed with her army to search for new lands and left him in charge while she is away. Kolobok asks Mantis to help him find the queen, but the mage refuses. Kolobok then decides to search for the queen by himself. Kolobok is a favourite character of Russian fairy tales and a new game for kids. Colorful and juicy graphics, original and dynamic gameplay free of violence make this game a perfect entertainment for kids.

Collapse (Action/Adventure)

2096 A.D. The world we now is destroyed. Creatures from other dimension emerged over the old Europe, massacring and killing every life form they found on their way. The remains of humankind live under the constant menace of alien attacks, while the law of the strongest has taken place over the society. The Lords, an elite group appeared from the total chaos and anarchy and now they are the only barrier between the total annihilation. Collapse is a remarkable 3D Non-stop Action game. It has the gripping adventure elements and impresses with the acrobatic movements and realism of character.

The Hunt (FPS)

In 2025, the criminality among the society reached levels not known before. The government approved an extreme measure to ensure peace and security for the society. Being a common citizen, there is a probability of one in a million of receiving the back mark... a device implanted in your body that emits a signal which can be followed. The main character is not a soldier or a well-trained hero. He is a normal person who receives the Black Mark and becomes the main star of The Hunt. He has to escape and learn to survive. This brand new FPS breaks the established rules of the genre. Now shooting won't be enough to survive…

The Swarm (Action/Adventure)

What we saw in the movies finally happened. Science-fiction became reality and everybody could see how huge spaceships landed over the main capitals of the world. Aliens attacked at once, killing millions of humans in mere seconds. The governments of the Earth answered to the attack with nuclear weaponry, in a desperate movement for destroying the aliens, at the cost of the planet itself… The Swarm is a 3D adventure game, full of action on 3rd view where the player will face the challenge of surviving in a wasted Moscow that shows the scars of the alien attack, defending himself from the attacks of other humans looking for a piece of food, and from the dangerous aliens.

Sledgehammer (Action/Racing)

The American highways are more dangerous than ever… it doesn’t matter if you drive a car, a bike or a truck, the chances of being shot, smashed, nailed and/or crushed are of 9 out of 10. Consequently, only the craziest or those with enough weapons dare to hit the road. Sledgehammer is a pure action game on wheels, and a festival of demolition and speed, all in one. Drive the most powerful truck and destroy every opponent that you’ll find on the road or go to the multiplayer mode and decide who is the king of the highway, among your friends.
