When it comes to action, strategy games typically fall into one of two extremes. On one hand, you have real-time play, where everything is frantic, fast-paced and concurrent. On the other hand, there’s turn-based gameplay: Take your time and execute an action, then wait for the other players to move.
Sci-fi indie game Fray, which will hit PC and Mac in late 2011, offers a combination of both. Like in a game of rock-paper-scissors, players choose and execute their actions simultaneously to crush one another. Instead of fist gestures and palms, however, Fray allows you to wield gigantic rocket launchers and grenades as you storm around a desolate dystopian future.

MyGaming's Jeremy Proome writes: "2012 has been a surprisingly good year in terms of game quality. While each year always has it’s big blockbusters that rack up the 90-and-above ratings, there always seems to be some yings to mix up those yangs."
