Dino D-Day, Ninja Senki, Overgrowth with full on editing? Awesome weekend post.

climb to the top looks like a nice game as well.. but the usual suspects in this list are looking incredible.

I might just have to buy overgrowth to dick around in a sandbox

Reminds me of a certain Rayman 3 level. ^^
But it looks nice.

Played the Guns of Icarus demo and it's pretty cool. Not sure how it will develop later on but it seems really promising. Amnesia looks very interesting too.

The way Guns of Icarus' campaign plays out has really soured me to it. It pretends to be non-linear, but you do not keep any earned upgrades when you travel back and forth. This is a problem when you take one of the two paths after the tutorial levels, and find out that BOTH paths from that point are for Premium customers only.

Meaning, of course, that you have to go back through a very hard stretch of the game without any new guns. When I finally got back to the start so I could take the other, valid path, I discovered that I was already locked into a path, a path I could not take unless I bought the game.

I wish I had that hour back. That was so frustrating.
