JoyJoy80pts
Chilled Geometry Wars
If Geometry Wars is a packed club of eurobeats and neon hardcore, JoyJoy is a smokers den. It's no slouch, but the pace feels much more relaxed and the gameplay is slightly more influenced by traditional shooters. The ship you control has 8 different weapons and each one is upgradable by grabbing icons dropped by dead enemies. The graphics have a fluid feel and the colours come in muted pastels. If you like GW, JoyJoy is 80pts well spent.

Retrofit Overload80pts
Spaced Invaders
Cla55ic Space Invaders gameplay with a twist. Enemies appear on screen in waves that curl around the play area until resting in the rank and file at the top, the catch is that only when the enemies are circling are they worth any points, the trick is to take them out quickly before they settle down. This may sound simple but the slight change of the usual Space Invader rules makes this game quite addictive, it's presentation is very nice and to the point and the low pricemakes it a must try.

Zombie Estate80pts
...ate my neighbours
More twin stick shooter action, this time grounded firmly in the neighbourhood as you (and up to 3 other players) hold off ever increasing waves of zombie attacks. Breaks in-between onslaughts allow you to visit the shop to buy new guns and ammo from a wide variety of gadgets and gizmos. With cute "mode seven-ish"styl3 graphics, it's like CoD WaW Zombie mode if it was made for the SNES.

Japanese Tower Defense
"8bit cla55ic action game from video game composer Yuzo Koshiro's development studio, Ancient."
This is tower defence crossed with 8bit JRPG, full of character and charm it feels instantly like a retromasterpiece that someone forgot to make. Up to 4 players can help defend the princess from waves of attacking goblins, use your sword and catapults to beat them back, RPG-lite stat upgrades can be applied in-between rounds, so do you go for an all round character or create a team of specialists? Great sofa-based multiplayer potential.
