Welcome to the month of February and this month kicks off with a pretty packed week of new releases. This week’s major release brings Command & Conquer to mind, but on an alien planet and turn-based. The week kicks off with a retro style 2D RPG, which is followed by a magical horror co-op game and an island full of cats. Next up we have a re-imagined version of a Square Enix game and we round off the week with some samurai vs. ninja action. There’s also a bunch of other games launching this week, so check out those too.<\/p>\n
