Apparently 2 days ago, bills PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) were presented to Congress in order to stop piracy, but due to wording and the way the bills are planned they would force your IP Provider to cut off the ability to go to ANY website that may contain ANY type of Copyright law breach…We don’t want that…
Hollow Grounds is a game about a planet that rotates itself so the tiny cartographer Piri doesn’t hurt himself. It’s for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It was made by Jeremy Spillmann and Michel Barengo. The game will be released on 16th of January 2011.

– Nuclear Dawn: Nuclear Dawn is a Source engine based Multiplayer game that combines the visceral action of a First Person Shooter with the deep branching gameplay of a Real Time Strategy title. Forge your own destiny on the field of battle with every tactical decision, and ensure your faction’s survival with each headshot, capture buildings and bring the fight to your enemies’ strongholds riding the future’s machines of destruction.
– Max & the Magic Marker: Max is a young boy, and like most boys he loves to draw. One day he gets a mysterious marker in the mail. There is no letter attached – only the plain orange marker. Max decides to test it right away, sits down and starts drawing. He draws a monster but as soon as he finishes the lines on the paper start moving and to Max’s great surprise the monster runs off the paper and into another drawing. Stunned Max now sees how the Monster messes around with his drawings. Max realizes that he has to stop the monster. So he draws himself on the same drawing that the monster is in and immediately finds himself inside the drawing. The game begins.
– Fractal: From the award-winning team that brought you Auditorium and Pulse : Volume One comes Fractal, an enthralling music puzzler experience. Push, Combo, and Chain your way through a pulsing technicolor dreamscape all the while expanding your consciousness at 130 BPM.
– Super Crossfire: Super Crossfire is an intense shooter with a unique twist: Players can warp between the bottom and top of the screen at any time. Combined with a massive upgrade system, intense gameplay, visuals, and audio, and a huge variety of enemy types and waves, Super Crossfire is the next evolution in the arcade shooter genre.
