Freeware Game Pick: Switching Gears (Affectworks)
Switching Gears is a 3D platformer made in the style of the Ratchet and Clank series, in which you step into the metal boots of a delivery robot on a mission to save his city with the help of a few droid buddies.
The game consists of one short level, and was recently picked by InstantAction as one of their upcoming products for GarageGames' new web gaming platform. Use the W, A, S and D keys to move, tap the space key to jump, and hold the left mouse button to shoot. Both mouse buttons are also used to interact with levers or direct helper droids.
Broken droids can be regenerated at cloning stations, provided that you have their discs in possession when attempting to revive them. Only one disc can be carried at any time, but you will need all three near the end of the first stage to complete the game. An uninstaller is not included.

Nice game, but there is quite an issue with the cam when using the mouse. I wish the creator added some control options for those who dont have an Xbox360 controller.

Would be nice if they included an uninstaller. Demo leaves about 1000 registry entries behind when you delete the folder. Lame. Cant even choose the install directory.
