We will update this throughout the day when new announcements become available. Read more for details ...

Anno 2070 (PC digital download)

It is 2070, and our world has changed. The rising ocean level has harmed the coastal cities, and climate change has made large stretches of land inhospitable. Anno 2070 offers a world full of challenges, where you need to master resources, diplomacy and trade in the economic management system.

Anno 2070 is rated "T" for "Teen" by the ESRB and is available for PC digital download. Anno 2070 is $49.99 for the standard edition and $54.99 for the deluxe edition.

Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts (PC)

Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts sees the return of our valiant uber-hero Drake and his motley crew as they embark on a new quest to defeat a great evil. The citizens of the Kingdom of Glory celebrate their victory over the Dark Church. While in the catacombs of their former enemies, their revelry is disturbed by a sudden all-encompassing fog. Those who remain alive after the strange attack barricade themselves in the catacombs. As time passes, food becomes scarce and the people of the Kingdom of Glory realize that they might meet their demise.

The "heroic" Knights of Glory, shady mercenaries and arrogant high elves band together into guilds to survive and escape the dank catacombs. Unfortunately, the guilds are far too concerned with their distaste for each other, thus allowing for an awakening of dark forces in the dungeons.

Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts for PC is available on Steam with a special, one-week introductory discount of 20% off its $19.99 price. A bundle is also available for both the original Grotesque Tactics and Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts with the same one-week introductory discount of 20% off its $24.99 price.

Rapala (X360)

Featuring an arcade style fishing experience, Rapala for Kinect is controlled solely by the player's physical gestures with intuitive, easy-to-learn Kinect-optimized movements. A 45-second cast-to-catch time frame ensures angling with an emphasis on fun. Players also partake in boat races that give bonuses to the next round of fishing as they speed along to the many different fishing hotspots. These chariots of the sea offer plenty of jumps, extreme bumping and rapid speed boosts. Up to four players can play through the fishing mode or boat races.

Rapala is rated "E" for "Everyone" by the ESRB and is available on Xbox 360 Kinect at an MSRP of $39.99.

Real Warfare 2: Northern Crusades (PC)

Real Warfare 2: Northern Crusades allows players to witness the key events in the history of the Teutonic Order in the 13th century, namely conquering the pagan Prussia. In this realistic real-time strategy game, the player acts as a Komtur of the Teutonic Order as he relives the battles of the crusaders, regardless of the low manpower of the Order and the strong resistance of the heathens. All battles form a single campaign.

As in history, the Komtur is not simply limited to participation in battles. The strategic map places the gamer into a colorful and integral world and allows them to travel around the map in the real time. The mode features full freedom of movement, dialogues with locals, RPG elements, a quest system and much more.
