Ok, last week’s insane number of new releases was overwhelming, so it’s actually nice to see this week’s list of new games down to a more manageable size. The headliner tonight is definitely the worldwide release of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, and we’ll have a review up for it in just a bit. Also, there were a couple of high profile early releases like Civilization Revolution 2 which launched last night and has been quite well-received so far. Then there’s David O’Reilly’s strange but interesting mountain simulator MTN which showed up the night before last. Still, they’ve been included in the list below just in case you missed ’em.
A Life Worth Dying For
iTunes Description
Trigger video flashbacks in this sentimental new puzzle game.
You’re about to die. Your goal is to remember a sequence of cues. If you can recall them correctly, you will trigger short video flashbacks. These intimate moments add up to form an abstract impression of my life, reaching further back in time as you advance.
This is a new kind of memory game. It’s an interactive self-portrait made from my own personal home videos. All of these video clips are emotionally authentic. Follow me on this trip down memory lane! Challenge your own memory! Ask yourself: what is worth living for? But also, what’s worth dying for?

Orbitum
iTunes Description
Orbitum is a hypnotic rhythm-based reflex game of light and darkness. The rules are simple: switch the orbits, survive against all odds and keep calm. A tap is all it takes to get through. But you’ll discover less is more when your dexterity starts to be put to the test. Starting of fairly simple and gradually building up into something quite fiendish, the game will keep your grey matter ticking over in unison with the stimulating techno sounds. Appearing out of nowhere and vanishing in darkness, the round-dancing shapes will make your head swim, hands sweat and teeth clench. But as you get the rhythm you will see that there’s nothing more satisfying than the feeling of genuine achievement after you’ve nailed another hellish level.
