Recettear – One of the best item shop games I’ve tried, also a jrpg but these elements aren’t as good as some other games... Enemies have very unbalanced damage and health amounts for the xp and items they give, and not being able to save in a dungeon can be annoying when you’re playing dungeons with 25+ levels.
Mount and Blade Warband – Seems like Oblivion with less options for your character, abilities and a less developed storyline, but has a sort of charm in its look, feel and game play that immerses you in the medieval world in a way Oblivion never has for me. Also has a nice system for medium scale battles (under 100 on each side). It has a few kinks to work out, but I love the game.
Blade Kitten – Cool and easy game play, combines a platformer with a flying sword that makes mincemeat of anything it comes across. The storyline is not well developed in the demo, and all together there’s too much pink for my tastes.
Disciples III – Seems like Heroes of Might and Magic with smaller armies, less overland objects to interact with. A nice intro, but somewhat spoiled by the matter of fact voice of the narrator. All in all... I’d sooner get HoMM then Disciples.
Rhythm Zone – Doesn’t have a tutorial and barely explains game play, if you’re not familiar with the genre it would leave one confused about how to play. Otherwise, nice graphics and the ability to use your own songs is good, but I prefer a system that gives indication of which part you’re playing (say by your instrument stopping playing when you make a mistake).
Alien Breed 2 Assault – A gruesome game with workable game play and good graphics and cinematics, The demo doesn’t develop the story well and the game isn’t from one of my favourite genres so I can’t pass much judgement on it against other games of its type.
