As the original Friday the 13th has taught us, camping can be an extremely dangerous hobby. Forest fires and rowdy raccoons present their own threats, sure, but it's really the masked psychopaths (and their enraged mothers) who will get you in the end. Such is the case in the upcoming Camp Keepalive, only instead of angry parents and masked villains, players are forced to contend with an abundance of different 8-bit monsters, ranging from swamp creatures to chainsaw-wielding lunatics. I don't want to tell you your business, but you may want to bring a machete or ten.

This simple yet deceptively deep game is out to have people proving how clever they are on browsers and mobile devices this spring.
A literal storm of dragons would be pretty dangerous.

Seriously though, the Metal Slug series has long been regarded as some of the best run-and-gun offerings the industry has to offer; in the '90s, some genre enthusiasts even dropped more than $600 on a Neo-Geo console to play the arcade classics at home. Luckily, you no longer have to give up a kidney to get access to the Metal Slug series. In fact, Metal Slug Wars, an upcoming real-time strategy (RTS) game for iOS, will be free to play.
The number of science fiction games that post you as the last surviving remnant of an apocalypse that destroyed the human rate are numerous beyond counting. This time your mission is to terraform planets so that humanity can begin anew. So far, so ordinary. But a hackneyed setting doesn't have to lead to a bad game.
