Defunct Games reviews Heavy Fire: Shattered Spear. This 2013 military-themed on-rails shooter was recently released on Steam.
Games Asylum: "The first month of the year is always a quiet one for new releases, but there is usually at least one big name game out. Last year we had DmC – a game which many seemingly forgot about when compiling their GOTY lists – and also the budget priced Anarchy Reigns. Only two games, yes, but they were enough to see us through to the somewhat busier month of February."

Light gun videogames aren’t as popular as they once were. One of the biggest hurdles to the success of the genre has always been the need to purchase an expensive accessory alongside the videogame, especially when the lifespan of said videogame is often far less that, say, a first-person shooter (FPS). Avanquest Software are planning on changing this standard, if only in some small way, by concentrating on the strengths of the genre and its appeal to a very wide demographic.
On-rails videogames get a bad rap these days. The amount of freedom given to players in traditional first-person shooter (FPS) design is now being taken for granted and players expect to have access to a highly detailed and believable world within moments of loading the software for the very first time. More immediate, arcade style experiences are becoming less and less common, but does that mean our industry has ‘moved on’? Not if Teyon have anything to say about it.
