THE CALLISTO PROTOCOL The Dead Space vibes are super strong in this

CRISIS CORE: FINAL FANTASY VII REUNION It’s the return of the prequel to the massive Final Fantasy VII that

one, which isn't surprising when that classic game’s co-creator, Glen Schofield, is heading this one up. A narrative

originally released on the PlayStation Portable. Given a complete overhaul – HD graphics, new 3D models, a

driven, third-person survival horror outing with plenty of shooting action and close-quarters combat, it's set 300 years into the future, where the player is Jacob Lee, an inmate in a maximum-security penitentiary located on Jupiter’s moon who must try to escape when fellow inmates start transforming into grotesque monsters.

remastered soundtrack and full voice acting for every part of dialogue – the tale of Zack Fair and his uncovering of the dark secrets of Shinra’s experiments and the monsters they create has never looked this good. There’s also a new UI, plus gameplay gets the treatment too, with an updated combat system.
