Zombie Apocalypse 2 (Backbone Entertainment/Konami)

...a stunning against-all-odds blaster, where four new heroes must attempt to survive a zombie uprising. The quartet is stranded on a remote island which is under siege from an army of the dead. Using whatever weapons come to hand, the player must scour the island looking for survivors and eliminating the flesh-eaters in order to create safe zones.

Release: Q4 2011 | Price: TBC

Puddle (Neko Entertainmen/Konami)

In Puddle, players experience a brilliantly designed physics-based puzzle/platform game where they must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination, not by moving the fluid, but by tilting the game environment. The player must work with friction, momentum, and the unique properties of each type of fluid and environment to send as much of each puddle past fires, electrical sparks, rifts, potential spills and more. But watch out: the fluid motion is realistic! Tilt too quickly and some droplets are left behind; tilt too slowly you may not be able to make certain jumps, or the liquid may simply evaporate away.
