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

Afterfall: InSanity (PC)

Afterfall: InSanity is a third-person shooter built with Unreal 3 Engine technology where players will face horrible mutants, bloodthirsty mercenaries and other threats in the fight for human existence. The game takes place in the Afterfall universe, an alternate version of history since the Second World War. The "InSane" part refers to the shocking events that occur in the year 2032.

The game tells the tale of Albert Tokaj, a psychiatrist trying to uncover who is responsible for the horrible Confinement Syndrome. The intricate plot, propelled by unpredictable events, story twists and narrative nuances, are coupled with breathtaking graphics.

It is 2032, 20 years after the end of World War III. To survive the nuclear holocaust, humankind has fled from the contaminated surface to find safety in vast bunkers, created deep underground. Decaying shelters and hideaways set the stage for mankind's struggle for survival, where they battle horrible mutants, bloodthirsty mercenaries and other dangers.

Elfsquad7 (XBLI)

In Elfsquad7, you battle to save Santa from Kevin, the evil toy-building robot of the North. Join up with friends and family members in a frantic four-player co-op as you demolish freakish "un-toys," wrap presents and help Santa pack for his one-night journey delivering gifts to children around the world.

Elfsquad7 offers six different holiday heroes to choose from and multiple stages to master your technique, but make sure you do it quickly because time is running out to save Christmas!

Elfsquad7 is available on the Xbox Live Indie Channel for 80 Microsoft points ($1).

Magicka: The Stars are Left expansion pack (PC)

Magicka: The Stars are Left is a Lovecraftian horror-mystery campaign that sends players into the chilling depths of insanity. This expansion pack comes hot on the heels of an overhauled game engine for the overall title. This ensures that players' descent into madness is the result of unholy terrors from beyond time and space, and not because you had to start the entire level over because you died. There will be lots of death, most of which will be caused by your own actions.

Key Features:

  • All new adventure including several levels steeped in Lovecraftian lore
  • 2 Challenge maps
  • 2 new robes
  • 2 new bosses
  • New achievements
  • Several new enemies
  • New Items and Magicks
  • Innovative and dynamic spellcasting system with thousands of possible combinations
  • Up to four player co-op in all game modes as well as single player option

Magicka: The Stars are Left is available on popular digital distribution platforms for $5.99.

Magicka: Horror Props DLC (PC)

Magicka: Horror Props DLC is an item pack filled with nasty things you would find at any ordinary horror movie set. Whether you prefer slashers or mad stories from the 1920s, this pack contains something for you.

Magicka: Horror Props DLC is available on Steam.

Mercury Hg: Rare Earth Elements DLC (PSN/XBLA)

Mercury Hg is rated "E" for "Everyone" by the ESRB. The Rare Earth Elements DLC is available on PlayStation Network ($2.99) and Xbox Live Arcade (240 Microsoft points).
