Five cool games you’ve probably never heard of

By the Games Guru

Here are some of the coolest recent games you’ve probably never heard of.

Dust: An Elysian Tail (XBLA) Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older. One of the most beautiful indie games made in the last year, this action role-playing game has you battle all kinds of monsters in a wonderful dream-like setting.

Dyad (PSN) This hypnotic racing game is both relaxing and hard to beat. It has great music, too. But the bright kaleidoscopic graphics might be a bit too much for some gamers.

FTL (PC and Mac) This intense spaceship flight simulator requires a lot of strategy as you move from planet to planet and take over powerful alien ships, But it’s worth the effort.

Madcoaster (iPad) Ride this crazy roller coaster through all kinds of strange environments, like Egypt and a jack-o’-lantern village. Lots of cool powerups, too.

Terraria (XBLA, PSN) Already a PC hit, this action/adventure RPG lets you play your way. Make your own weapons to fight baddies, dig deep in the ground to find cool stuff, and build forts and castles.

Add ORC: Vengence to this list, which is a dungeon-crawler for iPhones/iPod Touches/iPads with a Lord of the Rings feel to it. It’s awesome!

terraria is one of the best games but it kind of is hidden in the shadows of gaming because it has no commercialism at all.you can do all sorts off things in this.for more go to terraria wiki.this is rated T but all it has is blood and as it is low resolution its not that bad.

  terraria is worse than minecraft. dose terraria have command blocks or 2d animation or thousands of mods? nope. the 2d animation is what makes minecraft, minecraft. terraria is also not original. it is based off of minecraft. minecraft also has a terraria mod and thousands of diferent mods. with command blocks u can make ur own mobs in vanilla minecraft! lets face the facts: minecraft wins. I rest my case!
