The bright red FPS puzzler SUPERHOT is getting a standalone spin-off game that's set in Japan, according to the original developers.

Every now and again a decent indie package comes along. Some of them are alright, others are quite decent. Today's is much better.

Superhot is a badarse shooter where time only moves when you move. Gunfights are bullet ballets where timing is crucial. The VR version is just as stunning, especially when speedrunners are pulling off moves straight from the best action movies.

What this week lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. Splatoon 2 launches at the end of the week, while PSVR hands will finally be able to get their hands on one of the best VR titles around. Gigantic comes out of beta after a long time in the wilderness, and Xbox fans can finally get their hands on the quirky What Remains of Edith Finch.

If that wasn't enough, Rift fans will also be able to get Lone Echo and its Ender's Game spin-off multiplayer game, Echo Arena. Like I said: This Week In Games is small, but certainly busy.

Today's a public holiday. And while that's great for gatherings and having a good time with friends, sometimes you just want the day to yourself. That's a great situation for playing video games - but sometimes you want something that can be done and dusted in a single day.

Fortunately, there's plenty of great smaller titles that you can enjoy in a single sitting. So if you're looking for a game you can start and finish in a single day, here's 9 titles worth looking at.

When you think about it, uploading your core to GLaDOS sounds like an awful lot of fun.

If there's one thing I do for this site, it's play a stack of games. 2016 was an amazing year and offered some of the best video games in recent memory. I sat down to list my personal favourites for our year in review.

Amazon. Green Man Gaming. Steam. Good Old Games. Humble Bundle. Wherever you look today, chances are you'll see a sale and a fat discount.

But not everyone has had the time or wherewithal to consider how hard they would like to throw their wallet at their monitor. So to help out, here's a cross-section of cracking deals on video games that are worth your time.

I'm still excited for the prospect of playing SUPERHOT in VR. But if that's not to your liking, or you don't have a setup for VR, how about a spin-off card game instead?

Exclusives never rub you the right way. Originally, you just had to worry about having the right console, but for VR enthusiasts, having the "correct" headset is fast becoming an issue too. No game better reflects this than SUPERHOT, which has seen its Steam review score plummet as players show their disdain for its Oculus Rift exclusivity.

Video: The folks over at Rocket Jump gave some further thought to Superhot's unique mechanics, where the game only progresses when the player moves, and how that would work in real life.

Because why not?

SUPERHOT is really good.

You should play it. That is my review.

There's nothing better than a cool Easter Egg, and when your game starts up with an interface that is a little bit like the PCs from The Talos Principle or the first Call of Duty: Black Ops, you can bet there are some good eggs to find.

After playing through Pony Island with my partner earlier this year, I couldn't help but wonder: what other games this year will subvert with the player's mind.

Turns out SUPERHOT does. And it does it really well.

SUPERHOT has got some pretty awesome Easter Eggs, but PC fans might get the biggest kick out of this one.

Some games only need a single good idea to work. For example: Superhot, a punishing first-person shooter in which time only moves when you move. It's a single, good idea. And it works.

It feels like I've been waiting years for SUPERHOT, primarily because the art style and the concept has been burned into my brain from the moment early screenshots and trailers hit the internet.

It's one of my most anticipated games for 2016, and I can't wait to see what it's like in VR. But fortunately, the game will be out well before the first shipment of headsets are sent.

If you're itching to see more gameplay of indie shooter Superhot, here's a brand new video to go with a beta that just went out to Kickstarter backers. Check out the devastating baseball bat toward the end and the new "Rewind" feature throughout.
