This Week's Games
Here are the major game releases for the week of July 1st-7th, 2018.
Runbow
Runbow is a multiplayer-focused platformer in which players aim to be the first to reach a trophy at the end of each level.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Must - Runbow is a must for anyone looking for a crazy, fun, and intense multiplayer time racing across insane levels. The game is simple and fun, and with zany outfits to unlock, along with some cool cameos, you can't go wrong playing some Runbow with your friends.
SpiritSphere DX
SpiritSphere is a local multiplayer game that draws inspiration from classics like Zelda and Windjammers and mashes it together with the nostalgic feel of playing air hockey at your local arcade.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Must - If you are looking for the coolest digital version of air hockey ever then pick up SpiritSphere DX. The cool 8 bit RPG feel, mixed with a ridiculous air hockey concept, is one of the strangest mash ups I have seen but it works and it's a lot of fun.
Night Trap 25th Anniversary
Night Trap tells the story of five teenage girls spending the weekend at the Martin home. As a member of the Special Control Attack Team, your job is to monitor the home and protect the girls using an intricate system of cameras and traps as it is being invaded by vampires.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
BUST - If you want to play a horrible game that is primarily made of full motion video (FMV) then Night Trap is for you. This game is nothing more than a fun reminder of how bad of a game Night Trap was and still is.
Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-Tered
Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Bust - Red Faction Guerrilla was a game that got lost quickly after launch; most likely because it was from a series that many looked at as mediocre. However, Red Faction Guerrilla was actually a solid game that just ended up never getting a fair shake. So a remake actually seems fair, I just wish it was a good remake that actually allowed this game to shine. Unfortunately, with bugs and overall performance issues, this is not the remake anyone wanted. Hopefully future patches can improve, this but for now I would avoid Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-Tered.

Asdivine Hearts
Travel alongside four companions and a cat in a fantasy RPG featuring stunning animated turn-based battles!
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Bust - A middle of the road 2D turn-based JRPG. There are so many options when it comes to this type of RPG. With nothing separating this game from so many others, Asdivine Hearts gets lost in the sea of JPRGs.
What The Box?
What the box is an Online Multiplayer shooter in which players control living boxes hiding amongst regular boxes while trying to destroy each other. Run around with your trusty box cutter in hand or stand still and wait for the perfect moment to strike!
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Must - Why not pick up a game where you get to be a box hunting other boxes? This game is just stupid silly, and because it's so over the top, it ends up being a lot of fun with friends.
