Jump-o-stab-a-shoot-y-dodge: Bleed 2 released
Parry bullets
You could take it easy this weekend, sure, or you could air-dodge through waves of bullets, deflect attacks with your sword, slow time, bash bosses, and generally cause trouble in Bleed 2 [official site]. Ian Campbell's sequel to his 2013 arcade platformer launched this week and flip me, that looks too fast for the pace of my weekend. Here, look at this local co-op action:

So the game name Blood was claimed long ago, right. Illbleed is also gone. Blood Seed too. Here's Bleed now. What's next? Bleeder is a good name name. Bled would be a bold one. Bloodied sounds terrible; don't name your game Bloodied. Bloodled is an RPG I would not play. Bleedy sounds almost cute. Bleed Me is a rockin' Painkiller-style FPS. Bleed You could be a VR shooter. Oh No, All This Blood is a game not nearly as funny as it thinks it is. Blood Up sounds okay.
Actually, you know what, here's a great name for a violent video game: Simply Red.
