14 DAY TRIAL // The reviews section of Softpedia contains long form evaluations of the following titles this week: Joe Danger 1 and 2 on the PC, Company of Heroes 2, the real time strategy title from Relic and SEGA, Magrunner: Dark Pulse, an action adventure that shares some elements with Portal, Pro Cycling Manager 2013, the simulation from Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive, and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, a modern re-release of two classic arcade cabinet titles.
We also have a Gamer Diary for Company of Heroes 2, detailing some of the game mechanics.
The 100th edition of Le Tour de France has also started, and I have decided to recreate the entire cycling competition using Pro Cycling Manager 2013.
