Deep Black is a third-person shooter where most of the action takes place underwater; the "Reloaded" part means "contains PC-exclusive features" namely Nvidia 3DVision and Razer Hydra support.
Besides regular weapons and an auto-cover system which work similarly in and out of the water, your character can use the submarine equivalent of a jetpack to "sprint" and fight currents, and a harpoon to activate switches or perform silent kills. Some close encounters are settled through button-mashing.

The main gameplay happens in various areas of Bright Falls – such as the forest, a national park, or a farm – during the nighttime; these are punctuated by calmer, non-combative sequences set during the day.

Oil rush is a fast-paced RTS set in a flooded world where oil is the only resource and micro-management is kept to a minimum. Units are produced automatically up to their population limit and the player commands them as groups, sending swarms from platform to platform rather than to attack other units directly. Defenses can also be built in the form of towers on slots around certain platforms, but the priceless oil rigs must be defended by units only. Experience points can be spent as tech upgrades ranging from faster construction to nuclear warhead launches.
This game is a continuation of the F1 series of driving simulators by Codemasters. Like we've come to expect from Codemasters, it has perfect support for Eyefinity. Not lacking in detail, this fine example should keep any F1 simulator fan satiated... until next year.
