Trials 2 is a physics-based motorbike game that takes you back to the days of the classic Elasto Mania. The goal of each level is to make your way across the room. In between you'll be jumping gaps, doing loop-de-loops, popping wheelies and most likely smashing your poor rider into every obstacle that comes your way! Loads of fun await those who try this game out.

In Mount & Blade you are a character who wanders around a dynamic world going on quests, gaining fame, and killing things. Notable for realistic Calvary combat (which is lacking in most games), open-ended gameplay, and the detail of the world. If you are a fan simulation/role-playing games then you should definitely try this one out!

In Democracy you're in control of a modern country. The goal of the game is to stay in office as long as possible by winning elections every four years, this is accomplished by enacting policies that appear to different groups of voters. You need careful consideration to not ruin the whole country. Democracy is a must have if you find politics interesting, but even if you aren't a die-hard politics fan you should still try this game out.

FoF is essentially guitar hero, you hold your keyboard like a guitar and in no time you will be playing along to the music like a pro. It's hard to get the hang of, but once mastered, you'll be rockin n rollin like elvis and all your favorite stars! A boat load of fun awaits those who try this game out.

Be forewarned: this game takes time and dedication to appreciate. However, if you take that time, you will find in Dwarf Fortress one of the most amazing and complex simulation games that you will ever play. Combining aspects of roguelike, strategy, and "god" games, Dwarf Fortress has two modes of play: Fortress, where you oversee a dwarven civilization, and Adventure Mode, which plays like a typical roguelike game. To date I find Dwarf Fortress to be one of the most amazing games ever made, including all commercial offerings, but like I said: be warned that the game is not easily accessible! For help, look to the wiki. Also, try out Mike Mayday's Graphics Edition of the game.
