Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 tabletop war gaming series has seen several successful outings in video game form, one of the most popular being Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Unlike the strategy-based source material, however, this particular iteration takes the form of a third-person action shooter. And now Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is available to stream on Nvidia Shield with a GeForce Now membership.

Yesterday Nvidia released another game onto their gaming-on-demand service called GRID as per usual, since this happens every Tuesday. This time around it is a new installment into the Red Faction franchise called Red Faction Guerrilla, which is 100% free to play in full on your Shield device of choice using GRID.

The puzzle platformer stretched minds the world over, while also hiding a cheekily clever story beneath its surface. All these years later, The Talos Principle is a first-person puzzler that shares many qualities with that modern classic, though fame isn’t one of them (yet).
Having been out for awhile now for Android devices, Machinarium is a delightful little adventure that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear when you’re not scratching your head in complete bafflement. It’s developed by Amanita Design, a small indie studio from the Czech Republic that made a name for itself years ago with a lovely browser-based game called Samorost, mixing animation and macro plant photography to create a surreal space adventure with a distinct organic feel.
Nvidia is pushing out a new update for their Shield Android TV console which brings with it a lot of requested enhancements, fixes, and upgrades to various aspects of their OS and software. Depending on what you use your Shield console for, this update is a much welcomed improvement overall.
To many, a newly launched system isn’t complete without a great platformer. As Mario and Sonic have proven in their iconic games, nothing can challenge players of every level like a colorful, and surprisingly complex, platformer. Juju fills that niche rather well.
