Posted 14 May 2020 at 13:35 by Dennis Tummers
Test your reflexes and rhythm feeling by dancing along with Hatsune Miku, the digital J-pop superstar. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix is a rhythm game where you can play along to catchy J-pop songs using button, touch or movement input.
Ion Fury is a true blast from the past, as it runs on the ancient Build game engine, the same one that powered Duke Nukem 3D back in the days. This first person shooter is the prequel to the 2016 game Bombshell and once again you will take on the bad guys as Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison.
As always the full list of new games can be found on the bottom of this article, after the highlights for this week's new releases, pre-downloads and sales.

| Ion Fury(1C Entertainment) | Game - Dual Distribution | 14/05/2020, 07:00 CEST |
| Description from publisher: Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison takes on a quest to slay evil transhumanist mastermind Dr. Jadus Heskel in the streets of Neo DC. She leaves a trail of carnage throughout huge, multi-path levels filled with gigantic explosions, more secret areas than we can count, and inhuman foes behind every corner. There’s no regenerating health here; stop taking cover and start running and gunning.Shelly’s crusade to take down Heskel’s army will see her leave destruction in her wake with a wide arsenal of weapons, complete with alternate fire modes and different ammo types.Ion Fury laughs at the idea of mandatory checkpoints and straight paths through shooting galleries. But, just because this is a true old-school first-person shooter doesn’t mean we've ignored all the good new stuff the last two decades have brought. Headshots? Hell yeah. More physics and interactivity? You betcha. 3DRealms, Voidpoint and 1C Entertainment have taken the best of both worlds and cooked it all into a bloody stew. | ||
