　　Killing Floor 2

　　To the uninitiated with the world of Killing Floor 2, it is a Co-Op Survival shooter in which you are charged with being the last hope for humanity when an evil biotech corporation’s monstrous experiments are unleashed on an unprepared continental Europe. Fend off the unstoppable hordes with ten different perk types and well over a hundred unique weapons from military hardware pulled off the gun range, survivalist experiments that make even the most harden doomsday prepper blush, and futuristic sci-fi armaments that can annihilate the opposition using all the elements of the periodic table.

　　Lifeless Planet

　　While seeking life on a distant planet, an astronaut discovers an abandoned Russian town. He suspects his mission is a hoax until a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly phenomenon...

　　The Escapists 2

　　Risk it all to breakout from the toughest prisons in the world. Explore the biggest prisons yet! You’ll have to live by the prison rules, attending roll call, doing prison jobs and following strict routines; all the while engineering your bid for freedom!
