LEGO CITY Undercover – Join the Chase! In the LEGO CITY Undercover game, play as Chase McCain, a police officer who’s been tasked with going undercover to hunt down the notorious – and recently escaped – criminal Rex Fury and putting an end to his citywide crime wave. With two player co-op*, friends can explore a sprawling open-world metropolis, with more than 20 unique districts to investigate, car thieves to bust, hilarious movie references to discover, vehicles to drive and hundreds of collectibles. The LEGO CITY Undercover game brings together witty, original storytelling with signature LEGO humor to create a fun-filled experience for players of all ages to enjoy.

Graceful Explosion Machine – Skillfully pilot the Graceful Explosion Machine, a fighter ship armed with a ludicrously overpowered quad-weapon array. Lost in deep space, you’ll shoot, dash and combo your way through jewel-hued alien worlds, fighting crystalline enemies to find a way home.

After practicing in Training mode, go for the gold in Olympics mode and break world records.

Super Star Soldier – Super Star Soldier is a classic, vertically scrolling shooting game for TurboGrafx-16.

Will be picking up Lego City in cart form at some point before Splatoon 2, so I can loan it to my friend after playing it. But for now, Zelda. Always Zelda...

Nice to see another demo; Just Dance. My wife will definitely want to give the new version a try, so I suppose I will go download that later today. And I just like demos. I download all of them.

So I just realized that Boxboy 3 was supposed to be out by now. Apparently it was to launch on March 23, but then...didn't. When asked afterwards, Nintendo said that the tweet was a mistake and deleted it. No update since then. Has anything like this ever happened with Nintendo before, where a game's release date came and it just...didn't show up?

Same. It looks amazing. But I've got too many other games on my plate right now.

Graceful Explosion Machine is reviewing pretty well so far. Averaging around an 8 between 5 reviews.

I grabbed GEM. I've only played the tutorial, but it seems pretty neat.
