Gamer Score is an online and offline multiplayer based points scoring game. The objective of the game is to beat your opponent to the highest score by whatever means possible. You will play as one of four characters roaming an open world environment where absolutely everything is destructible. The higher your carnage scale, the faster your points rack up. Your opponents will be in other sections of the city doing likewise so it is up to you whether or not you chase them down or leave them alone. Do bear in mind, however, that if you take out an opponent, you steal some of their points, this isn't enough to completely wreck the opposing player, but if you chain their death with other carnage creating actions, the score multiplier will increase far more rapidly. As you complete mission, you will gain stars based on your performance in each mission. To gain these stars the following criteria must be reached; Reach 100,000 points, Kill a single opponent five times, Destroy the unique building (E.g in New York destroy the Statue of Liberty, in Paris destroy the Eiffel Tower), Die less than times than you killed, and Reach 1,000,000 points. Each star must be achieved in order to get the end-game reward. Once this has been achieved the player must choose from one of several rewards. The winner also gets bragging rights as the final screen will prompt the winner to do.

Key Features:

- Several different levels ranging from urban city fights to space station mayhem.

- Ability to temporarily ally with an enemy to take down another, after that, all bets are off.

- If you are ganged up on, you will respawn with a significant bonus to help you recover your lost points.

- Different unlockable skins for each character for completing a five star rating on each mission as well as the ability to purchase new deployable vehicles and one use weapons. Once unlocked, these are available to your profile permanently.

-Crazy intense multiplayer action.

Marble Dropper is a computerized version of the classic game we all played as kids, but with a few new twists: Marbles. This is a largely multiplayer focussed game where two players duke it out in an arena to claim the others marbles. Each player begins with a predetermined sack of marbles, varying in size and impact upon the game. When two players begin a match, the player who goes first is randomized. The starting player will then select a specific marble from their sack and try to knock the Goal Marble into the opponent's goal net while keeping it inside the arena boundaries. If your opponent knocks your own marbles out of the arena, you get to re-use that marble, however, if you knock your own off the table, that marble will go into the list of marbles your opponent will get to claim at the end of game if they win. If someone knock the Goal Marble out of the arena, the players whose turn it is next, gets to place the marble in a specific area, not unlike the D on a pool table.

The game will be set up in a birds eye view to enable players the best possible positioning for dropping their marbles and knocking the goal marble around. The first player to score 3 goals wins. Whoever wins, then gets to choose a marble to take from his opponents stash. However, don't be afraid that you will lose all of your marbles! Your stash can never go below the minimum amount required to play, if this happens, another marble will be randomly generated to take you back to up to fighting strength.

A single player mode will be available, but this will be solely as a practise match against AI of varying difficulties. In this mode you can never lose nor gain marbles, but if you play on the hardest difficulty, you will gain credits to unlock new skins for your marbles.

Key Features:

- A fun, nostalgic revival of an old game, given a sports like twist.

- Hundreds of differing patterns waiting to be applied to your marbles allowing you to create a truly unique collection.

- Marbles of differing sizes impact the game in different ways: the larger the marble, the more power in its drop, but the less control you have over the destination of the Goal Marble.

- An unlockable skin customizer to further enhance your already unique collection.

- You can swap out any combination of marbles in your gaming sack, there are no restrictions! Discover you favourite tactics and select your marbles accordingly!

Gun Simulator is game for the Occulus Rift where the player selects from a range of guns available to them at their level. This selection will be small at first and consist of only pistols. As the player takes these weapons out to the firing range and uses them, they will gain experience and mastery. Once the player gains enough experience they will unlock several new weapons to practise with. Mastery shows how proficient the player is with a specific weapon and when this is mastered, thier mastery level increases. Once their mastery level is high enough, the player can then turn in the mastery points for unlockables such as new firing ranges, differing game modes, and cash to purchase new weapons ahead of their experience level.

The game will have a multiplayer aspect to it as well. This is where two or more players will connect and engage in a contest to see who can score the highest amount of points in a certain amount of time, like a time trial mode. There will also be another game mode where the competing players have to finish a series of ranged firing tests: the first to do so wins.

Key Features:

-Multiplayer aspect

-Great for gun enthusiasts!

-Realistic operation of weapons that grant a sense of realism

-Great unlockables (and even some secrets if you pay attention within some ranges)

This game is a new take on a childhood favorite - Musical Chairs. As its title suggests, Musical Chairs - Death Edition combines the happy, innocent music and the game of Musical Chairs with brutal consequences for those who fail to grab a chair in time. Enjoy bright lights while music plays with confetti dropping from above and smiles on everyone's faces. As the time to sit draws closer, the music takes on a much more sinister tone, speeds up and the room begins to darken. When you hear the evil voice cackle shoot for a chair other wise some very nasty things may happen to you. There are even some sly tricks to make you charge too early for the chair, if you do this, prepare to be punished. Be aware of small goblin-like creatures that will attempt to impede your progress both when simply walking around the room and when you dive for a chair. Kick these annoying little creatures away when they get close to send them toward another player.

Key Features:

-Multiplayer absed gameplay, though single player mode against the AI does exist.

-Randomized music change to keep you on your toes.

-Brutal deaths to strike fear into your very soul

-Child-like singing to increase tension

-Varying scenes from class rooms to dank dungeons
