Next weekend is likely to be manic – full of eggs, chocolate and more chocolate. Before the bedlam hits, why not relax and prepare yourself in style, with the latest games to hit the Windows Store. From mysterious train rides to guns that kill the past, there should be something here for everyone.
Enter The Gungeon
This manic, bullet-riddled dungeon crawler sees you control a band of deadly misfits who are seeking to shoot, loot, dodge-roll and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past. No, we’re not sure how the physics works either, but it’s probably best not to think about it. Just keep shooting anything that moves and you’ll probably be fine.

The Wolf Among Us – A Telltale Games Series
This five-part series from the creators of the critically acclaimed The Walking Dead games is just as beautiful, dramatic and engaging as you’d expect. Fairytale characters are being murdered in this hard-boiled, violent and mature thriller based on the award-winning Fables comic book series (DC Comics/Vertigo) by Bill Willingham. As Bigby Wolf, you discover that a brutal, bloody murder is just a taste of things to come in a game series where every decision can have enormous consequences.

Talent Not Included
Set in the fantasy land of Notthatmuchfurther (just off the M25), Talent Not Included tells the story of three monsters: Zordok, Derp and Kevin. All three are huge fans of slaughter, bloodbaths and Shakespeare; and one night they decide to put on their own play. Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned – mainly because Zot, a demonic critic hired for the occasion, chooses three mediocre actors with strong personalities, hoping to sow hell on stage for his own and the public’s amusement.

Blackwood Crossing
This story-driven first-person adventure game is a visually gorgeous, haunting tale of intrigue and mystery. You play Scarlett, a teenager finding her way in the world. Waking up disorientated, you find yourself and your younger brother, Finn, inexplicably travelling on a moving train – and when a mysterious figure appears, it’s clear that this is no ordinary ride. It’s the beginning of a magical voyage, steeped in life, love and loss.
