Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass is a retro-styled point-and-click adventure game created by UK-based independent developer Chris Burton in collaboration with Wadjet Eye Games. Drawing inspiration from classic LucasArts graphic adventures and Saturday morning cartoons, the player takes control of Brain, Defender and Simon, three professional wrestlers caught up in a complex plot that will test their brains, as well as their brawn, to the absolute limit.

Smash ‘N’ Survive is a ‘brutal vehicle combat game’ and the debut PlayStation 3 release from Version 2 Games, an Indian development studio and publisher. It is touted as being ‘a unique destructive vehicle combat game, featuring over 30 unique concept customisable cars, 10 massive destructible circuits, an innovative single player campaign, split screen and multiplayer mayhem as players battle it out with up to five others via Sony Entertainment Network.’ It sounds great, but hands-on time with this exclusive PSN game quickly reveals an entirely different beast beneath the bonnet.

The Dream Machine is a point-and-click adventure game in five chapters created by Cockroach Inc, a two-man Swedish independent game development studio. The studio consists of Anders Gustafsson and Erik Zaring, who make each chapter by hand using materials such as clay and cardboard. The final result is enchanting and surreal, the stop-motion style animation perfectly complimenting a story that delves into a world of dreams, both figuratively and literally.
