Gamefly acquired Direct2Drive, a PC subscription-based rental service, back in May of this year and until recently we had yet to see what the online mail rental service would do with it. Gamefly didn't have any service for PC gamers and this seemed to be a way to change that. Then in August, Gamefly announced a PC client to be released at a later time.

Beautiful graphics and interesting mechanics does not a good game make.
Xotic is a peculiar beast. Developer WXP Games has created something that’s somewhat hard to describe yet familiar when you actually play it. As the reviewer though, I need to do my best in doing so. Okay. Xotic (pronounced like exotic) is a first person shooter with an emphasis on scoring and clearing a level like that of a puzzle game. You are sent to stop the Orb, which is a being that evolved beyond its physical body and has gone mad and is now destroying planets. The way you accomplish this is by completing each level by destroying enemies, collecting power-ups and shooting orb plants in order to get a combo going and raise your high score. Despite impressive art design and surprisingly deep game mechanics, none of this actually melds into a cohesive whole and you’ll be left disappointed at a game that at first held promise but quickly grows frustrating.
