Gears of War is a flagship Xbox franchise first created by Epic Games in 2006 and now managed by The Coalition. The Locus Horde has infested the world of Sera, and some sad soldier men must fight to drive them back as much as possible. Play through by yourself or with your bro in what was a revolutionary cover shooter at the time.

Mixtape is a 2026 narrative adventure game developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur, centering around the mixtape the main character has made to score her last day living in her hometown before she goes to New York to pursue her dreams. Through a variety of licensed music and weird minigames, immerse yourself in teenage nostalgia.
