What would you do with pants that gave you the ability to scale buildings with a single bound and land without injury? In Gunpoint, you’d put them through their paces as you attempt to unravel the reasons behind the murder of a high profile weapons manufacturer, and clear your own name in the process. While the story has had plenty of thought put into it, Gunpoint’s strengths lie in its diverse mechanics and solid stealth-based gameplay. Be forewarned: this game won’t give you that bang-for-your-buck, but it’s definitely worth a look to see just how far $30 worth of game development can go.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon knows its target audience: they were the ones who woke up early on Saturday mornings to get their dose of cartoons and messed with the tracking on their VCRs to play back taped TV shows. They’re the ones who grew up with low-budget action flicks set to campy power rock. They wouldn’t think twice about an action hero using shurikens against badly dressed foot soldiers while fending off cyber-dinosaurs (because why the ♥♥♥♥ not). Blood Dragon is an unabashed homage to the action films of our childhood, and even though it’s a short-lived experience, Ubisoft gets it right.
