Soulcaster II – Another sequel for a great original game. Soulcaster II is a top down style adventure game in which you control a Soulcaster who can summon people to fight for him. So for example an archer can shoot further distance but is vulnerable to close combat, while a warrior can fight close combat but cant fight over distance. I loved the original game and this sequel looks to be more of the same with its clever combat system and NES style graphics and music. Give at least the trial version a try because once you play it a few times you will love it! Soulcaster II costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found on the Marketplace, a trailer can be found on Page 2.
Osr unhinged is our third sequel and it is to the popular bike racing game Old Skool Racer. OSR Unhinged brings more of the same gravity based racing with a few additions such as more tracks, bikes and leaderboards. If you played the original you will love this one, if you have not played it give it a try. Osr unhinged costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found on the Marketplace, a trailer can be found on Page 2.
Aphelion 2 is the fourth sequel in this weeks round up and is a turn based fighting RPG. The original was very well received and though it had some annoyances the pros outweighed the cons, we hope they have been addressed in this game though. The graphics and music continue to look and sound great. The sequel offers 6+ hours of game which is great value for 80 :MSPoints:, well worth considering! More information can be found on the Marketplace, a trailer can be found on Page 2.
8 Ball Pool Champion – I have been waiting for a decent snooker/pool games to be released and I think this is the one. This game has support for up to 4 players in party mode or you can play against the computer. Beginners can learn the ropes with the ‘Cheat-O-Laser’ which shows where the balls will go when hit. This looks to be a very well made game and is great for when friends are over and you do not have room for a decent sized pool table. 8 Ball Pool Champion costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found on the Marketplace.
