It's almost time to settle in for the long weekend, and while that may mean eating chocolate for some (not me), spending time with family (maybe), and drinking before noon (bingo), there's always time to check out what epic new games have risen this week.

From charming puzzlers, all the way through intense PvPs and cute arcade games, and more, there's bound to be something that'll catch your eye.
