<h2>My Friend Pedro</h2>
This game is a John Wu movie at its best. It is a non-stop five-hour adrenalin rush, shooting and killing people from one room to the next. Instead of focusing on a non-existent storyline, featuring an imaginary banana called Pedro, it lets you give your full attention to getting your kill done in the most fun way possible. My Friend Pedro's mechanics let you use pans to ricochet bullets, kick body parts mid-air and skateboard through levels&mdash;all in bullet time. Just don't get shot too much.

<h2>Ape Out</h2>
With a top-down view, Ape Out has you playing an escaped Ape that needs to use its strength, wit and primal instinct to free itself. The maps are all procedurally generated to keep things fresh&mdash;you can tear down enemies, use them as shields and go crazy.
