Empirical Extraterrestrial Environment Exploitation: that's 4 Es for one 2.5D game of seed-tossing, jetpack-powered SCIENCE.

Ah, archeology: the millenia-old-yet-fully-functional trapped temples to ransack, the countless mummies and nazis to mow down, the mandatory female sidekick to flirt with.

The dark knight returns in what is in fact a prequel to the two Arkham games previously released. Not developed by Rocksteady Studios this time around, the weakest title in the series is also the first one not to be marred by GFWL-related issues, and to feature a multiplayer module.

The cave shooter mechanics of yore, coupled with today's graphics. As the fearless pilot of a thruster-powered space ship, you must destroy aliens and rescue civilians whilst avoiding to bump too harshly into the scenery.
If Retrobooster's 3D models are arguably not the most detailed, the subtle physics and the special FX are indeed... really slick. Impeccable flightstick support and a DRM-free demo always impress, too.

No weapon, no flashlight, no idea where you are. NaissanceE is a first-person exploration game set inside a soulless architectural complex. Puzzles involve simple platforming mechanics and a clever use of light sources. Trough eerily lit corridors, across bright gigantic halls, up and down stairs and on the edge of endless chasms, Lucy must find her way to freedom... and safety.

Two factions, one big map: Rivals combines the dual career mode and high-speed freeway chases of 2010's Hot Pursuit with the openness and upgradeability of 2012's Most Wanted. New features include dynamic weather and optional MMO-like connectivity.

This 2012 RPG is set in the world depicted by George R. R. Martin's novels and the HBO series they inspired.
