Take a deep breath, then dive into the first four of the eight games that you are most likely unfamiliar with right after the Full Article jump.

Blast Factor: Advanced Research, created by Bluepoint Games, is an add-on pack to the action-arcade microbe shooter that touts 1080p definition of a vivid microscopic world. The pack increments Blast Factor‘s specimen collection by seven more, while putting players up against 11 new enemies, seven new bosses, and the same number of new musical tracks.

Bacterius spreads to U.S. shores with Nucleus, the new name for Kuju Entertainment’s cellular manipulation title in the works for a North American debut. The game sets the player looking at microbes through a microscope interface, while searching for the Scourge and manipulating cells to defend against and destroy the viral organisms. Global leaderboards line its online features, while Kuju’s included two player co-op mode just sweetens the scenario.

PixelJunk Racers is Q Games’ take on slot car racing, which extracts a lot of the thrill that a toy hobbyist would have from their childhood. This sort of gameplay may not be as familiar to you as Hot Wheels matchbox cars are to the pre-pubescent boy, but you can expect that the game may become one of the more popular titles soon. It will be one of very few games to max out offline, hot-seat multi-player to a whopping seven players. It features HD resolutions (1080p comin’ at’cha), ten tracks to race several game modes like Speed Monkey and Fireball Frenzy, while honing driving instincts such as skills and navigating corners effectively.

Super Stardust HD takes Stardust to a refined visual level, complete with AI drones, a pumping-new soundtrack and support for the PlayStation 3’s multiple SPE processing power, while sticking to its classic hectic gameplay with enough action going on screen to make even the most calm maneuver the most worrisome yet. Not descriptive enough? Well, you know how it is: the more that was revealed before, the lesser to reveal later.
