Deadfall Adventures
Platform: PC
Ever dream about being a globe-trotting adventurer, but can't get time of work/school/jail to see it happen? Introducing: Deadfall Adventures, a first-person action game from The Farm 51 devs that simulates the life of a treasure-seeking, globe-hopping, danger-loving rogue minus the hassles of leaving your couch.
Set in 1938, the game stars James Lee Quartermain, a career adventure who must brave ancient evils, deadly puzzles, and Nazis and Russians to find The Heart and--hopefully--save the world in so doing. Over and above a single-player campaign, players will have the chance to partake in an adventure-style multiplayer.
Rise of Venice
Platform: PC
Live like a Venetian prince (and/or pauper) in this rags-to-riches strategy title from Kalypso Media Digital. Set amid the Renaissance period, Rise of Venice will see players playing the role of a young man with big dreams, who must build relationships with outlying cities and navigate the ranks of Venetian politics to become the Doge of Venice.
Rise of Venice will feature a wealth of things to do, including engaging in ship battles, trade negotiations, empire building, and socializing. It'll all be tied together with a storyline following players' rise to power, but include a multiplayer mode for those who just want to get to the backstabbing.
