How Super Meat Boy 3D captures the series’ identity, out May 31
When Super Meat Boy first released, it quickly became a landmark for indie games. It wasn’t just a great platformer, but a figurehead for indie gaming, defined by lightning-fast gameplay and brutal difficulty.

Damon and Baby: hands-on with the ridiculous twin-stick shooter, out March 26
Arc System Works and Executive Director Daisuke Ishiwatari are known for fighting games, and their upcoming game, Damon and Baby, is a huge shift.
