    Full Frontal sounds like fun, and if you add an Assault more so.

    Ooh I like this feature. I don't always check everything every week so it'll be nice to see what's new in every store.

    I hope you don't mind that it's always on Thursdays. Frankly it's unnecessary to dedicate front page real estate to each and every platform when we can just wrap it up in one post.

    DLing the free original version, looks like a lot of fun. Btw Daniel, the trailer you labeled as Stealth Bastard Deluxe is actually for the original freeware version (the not-Deluxe version).

    You welcome t1pz0r! It's likely to get refined going forward, but we wanted to get it started in 2012 to make it shine in the coming year.

    There's a new Humble Bundle out, this time featuring games from THQ. For as little as one dollar (please don't be that cheap, it's for a good cause) you get Darksiders, Company of Heros with it's two expansions, Metro 2033, and Red Faction. If you pay at least the current average price, you also get Saints Row the Third. There are also soundtracks to several of the games included. If that weren't a good eneough deal for you, they usually add a game or two to the bundle after it's been on sale for a few days, so there is a chance that it will get even better.

    Hey I really enjoy this. Sometimes it is such a chore to search through all the newly released demos/games throughout the weeks (I dont check regularly).

    Glad we can help! I agree. I don't really want to look in 10 different places to find everything, but I've got my routine down now so I figured we should share the info with you guys :D
