Winterbottom is a 2-D side scrolling puzzle game developed by The Odd Gentleman and published by 2K Play. It is a black and white style game, where color is present only to add focus to specific objects in the game.

Darwinia+ for Xbox Live Arcade is one of those types of games which can be quite hard to explain to people, however I find it best to describe it as Cannon fodder with RTS type elements, with a very retro tron feel.

Darwinia is essentially a cyberspace world populated by little cute Darwinians. Dr. Sepulveda, a computer scientist has made it his life’s work to create this new form of computer AI, the Darwinias, who not only learn and evolve over generations but also have a virtual soul. You arrive in the game just as a massive virus has broken out sending Darwinia into chaos, it’s up to you to eradicate all remnants of this virus and try to rebuild the Darwinia population which dwindles on the brink of extinction.

Tropico 3 places you in the shoes of a Cold War era dictator, putting you in control of various Caribbean style islands and leaves you to decide how to build up these island states and run them. The game is a typical City Management sim with a grass roots approach to running a town and a huge emphasis on politics. Will you be a man of the people, a political genius or a vicious tyrant? Will you be a communist, capitalist or a mixture of the two? All these choices, plus many more are put at your feet in this very unique strategy game.
