What you could play this weekend

This has been another relatively quiet week for game releases, because what you're supposed to be playing are the demos released as part of Next Fest. I'd personally recommend Blood Dungeon. If you once had a traumatic experience with a coverdisc and now the idea of a demo triggers a panic attack, fret not: I've still pulled out three newly released games you could play instead.

Tell us what you are playing in the comments, whether it's a demo or not.

The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

The demo of Elliot released several weeks ago and its combat and art style won me over, even if its story and characters seemed gratingly anaemic. That seems to be the broad consensus from reviewers now the full adventure/tale is available. This is a Zelda-style action-RPG with real-time combat rendered in Square Enix's 2D-HD style, and seems to promise a good time as long as you're happy to turn your brain (and maybe ears) off.

City Car Driving 2.0

I played a lot of the original City Car Driving and this sequel offers the same straight-faced simulation of traffic laws. In theory, that makes it a good way to practice complicated junctions or dealing with traffic jams and careless pedestrians. Personally, I play these games because I can set it to night time, turn on the rain, and enjoy the atmosphere. Pull up at the traffic lights and put on some Kavinsky.

Meccha Chameleon

Prop Hunt, but instead of disguising yourself as an inanimate object, you're a blank canvas baby man with a paintbrush to apply body paint. Those with actual art skills might perfectly disguise themselves against a complicated wallpaper pattern, while the rest of us find a flat colour surface to press ourselves against before the seekers burst us like a piñata. It released on June 10th, had sold 2 million copies by June 15th, and 3 million by June 16th.

Me, I'm going to be playing more demos. I've got Sprawl Zero, Rolla, Penguin Colony, Wind Runners and more already installed.
