Featured Campaigns :
Game : This Is the Police
What it is : Marcus wrote: “Games about the police come in many shapes and sizes, but lately most seem to be of the FPS persuasion. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that but some folks out there are looking for more strategic and thoughtful titles. This Is the Police, which is currently crowdfunding via Kickstarter, may be one such game. It focuses on a long time police chief by the name of Jack Boyd who just turned 60 years old and was instructed to retire in 180 days. Although he’s spent his entire career “playing by the books” it never resulted in a lot of money. With copious family bills to pay off, and almost no way to do so, he decides to end his career with a bang – he’ll disavow the law to get some much needed cash.”

Game : Orphan
What it is : Marcus wrote: “What would you do if you woke up to find that aliens had invaded and taken over the Earth overnight? It wouldn’t be a pretty picture, that’s for sure. Orphan begins with this exact thing happening to a young boy. He awakens to find the entire human populace seemingly gone with only mechanical aliens left scouring the planet. With little aside from fear to keep him in one place, the player will explore with this young child through the dark 2D environments crawling with danger..”

Game : Car Mechanic Simulator 2015
What it is : Marcus wrote: “There are a surprisingly huge amount of simulator titles on Steam having to do with driving cars. So, what about if you’re more interested in working on them rather than getting behind the wheel? Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 seemed to be one of the few titles to fit that bill. It also seems to have been quite popular, with over 1,000 reviews and a “very positive” rating on the game’s Steam store page. Thanks to that it’s easy to assume that the developers know their way around cars and game-making, so their current Kickstarter seems like a good bet.”

Game : Eridanus Wars
What it is : Marcus wrote: “The basics of this game are not too dissimilar from what everyone seems to want in space games at the moment. You’ll spend a lot of time engaged in frantic dogfights, gathering resources, and checking out online aspects such as in ship co-op. Of course, you can also fight against enemy players in these large-scale battles too. Then there’s the Oculus Rift support which is basically a given at this point in the space simulator genre. Please note that this support translates to a Rift being required to play! With that said, this is also the reason the Kickstarter campaign is funding for a “beta” release of Eridanus Wars.”
