Show of hands: who remembers "N" or Metanet Software? Way back in Ye Olden Days of 2004, Metanet released "N," a physics-enabled ninja platforming game. It was popular for a time, eventually warranting the release of "N+" to Xbox Live Arcade, the DS, and the PSP.

"Poker Night 2" sends players back to The Inventory, and deals them in for another hand against some huge names from the worlds of video games, cartoons, and movies.

Well, Krillbite Studio has figured out that it doesn't get more helpless than a two-year-old, making a toddler the lead in the first-person horror game "Among the Sleep," which they've just launched on Kickstarter.
