Steven at GameSpew writes: "Can you think of anything more boring than Urban Planning? A friend of mine took a degree in it at university and several times I witnessed conversation stop dead at parties when someone asked So, what do you study? Urban Planning is up there with Librarianship and Administration as the most tragically dull subject you could apply for (and, by extension, hope to spend your one-and-only-life immersed in) yet it spawned one of the most played and loved games of all time."

Rich at GameSpew writes: "As someone that has admittedly not played many Rare games, the announcement of Rare Replay was a nice surprise for me. Promising a collection of 30 titles from Rares rich history and a gargantuan 10,000 gamerscore, who wouldnt want it? Well now its here, and after spending some considerable time with this little slice of history I can tell you that its a mixed bag although a very well-polished one."

Kim at GameSpew writes: "They say something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it but in the case of these PS2 games, some people are willing to pay a lot for them. Weve trawled eBay looking for the most expensive and most valuable PS2 games out there, so get in your attic and dust down those old collections to see if youre sitting on a goldmine."

Geraint at GameSpew writes: "From the French-Canadian games company Clever Plays Studio comes their debut indie game Leap of Fate, where you play as a cyberpunk rogue in a not-too-distant dystopian neon future. The game is described (on their own website) as a mix of the infinite replayability of The Binding of Isaac, the precise and reactive controls of League of Legends, and the feel-good combat of Diablo, with, in my opinion, the shadowy cyberpunk influences of Shadowrun."

Alastair at GameSpew writes "Galak-Z: The Dimensional is a 2D shooter combining frantic dogfighting action with strategy and guile. Heavily inspired by Japanese anime sci-fi, its a slick, creative experience that rewards intelligent gamers who know when to fire their blasters and when to run. Styled like a TV series, Galak-Z plays out over five seasons, each with five individual episodes. Currently, there are only four seasons available; the fifth is scheduled to be released at a later date. You take on the role of A-Tak, rookie pilot of the nimble ship Galak-Z. The story is suitably epic: as mankinds last remaining hope, its up to you to defeat the evil imperial empire and save the world. This game makes no secret of being a love letter to classic anime; your ship even transforms (complete with that awesome transformer sound) into a giant sword-swinging mech. The vivid cell-shaded cartoon visuals are excellent, and combined with an original soundtrack featuring pulses of el...

Yes, it really is as crazy as it sounds. Airscape: The Fall of Gravity is an action platformer developed by a small group of students with a story unlike anything else youve played before. It follows the plight of an octopus, lost in a strange and dangerous world, whose friends have been abducted by a mysterious force. The objective of the game is to navigate your way past hordes of dangerous obstacles in various zones, and collect critters (blue orbs) to free your friends. The ultimate objective of these levels is simply to survive and reach the end, but as a bonus, if you collect enough critters, you can unlock bonus missions, whereupon completion you unlock a new octopus as a playable character. Each octopus has a different ability, ranging from hovering to being able to teleport short distances. Unlocking multipl...
