Combining my love of retro games with this edition of the Game Club results in a strange jumble of slightly aged to almost completely forgotten games for you to choose from. You'll be asked to spend a little cash this time around, but the games I've chosen can be purchased for $7 or less at a decent resale shop or online.

Without further ado, here are the games in the running for the fifth edition of the Bitmob Game Club.

E.V.O.: Search For Eden: The premiere game focusing on evolution. You start off as a fish in a dangerous ocean and adapt to your surroundings by taking on the characteristics of the enemies you defeat.  This was originally released on the Super Nintendo and published by Enix.

Fallout: I've had a copy of the original Fallout sitting on my desktop for ages but never had a good reason to boot it up. If you love Fallout or have never played the original, this game just begs for a proper run-through.

Mark of Kri: If you've longed to play a cartoonish button-masher influenced by Polynesian culture and art, then this is the game for you. Now lost to the budget bins of pretty much every game store on the planet, Mark of Kri was met with several favorable reviews when it launched early in the PlayStation 2's life.

Okage: Shadow King: For years I overlooked this game, dismissing it as simply childish. You assume the role of the unfortunate human host of an aggressive and loud shadow claiming to be a fearsome demon king. He commands you to help him reassemble his true form, but like any  role-playing game, you find something darker happening in your world and must put an end to it before appeasing your parasitic shadow. Okage is also for the PS2, and surprisingly disturbing in places, contrary to the box art.

I wanted to do something different with the Game Club, and this is certainly a departure from web games and Braid. Participation hinges on your ability to procure a copy of the chosen game, but that shouldn't be too difficult. If you are interested in participating, say so in the comments below or email me at jasmine[dot]rea[at]bitmob[dot]com.

Also, please vote on which game we should play in the comments. The more discussion we can strike up, the better.
