"5 Games You Should Play This Weekend (4/27/2013)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Crabitron\n\n\nThe best iOS games are often a little hard to describe. Crabitron fits that mold, because it's not every day that you direct a giant space crab to attack passing vehicles with its monstrously large claws.\nThe control scheme is unique in that you control each claw separately by pinching two fingers. (Blog Touch Arcade even ingeniously suggest playing it co-op on an iPad, each player controlling a claw.) Your giant crab can crush, smash and eat to destroy everything on the screen, and each action nets a different result.\nCrabitron is easily worth the $2.99 price tag, and will get you hours of fun on your iPad.

We put this indie game on our anticipated games list in 2011, and it's finally out for PC.\nIn Monaco: What's Yours is Mine, thievery is the name of the game. You must sneak around stealing coins, unlocking safes, and avoiding guards. There are several different characters with different specialities, so it's almost critical you play with three friends for a well-rounded team. The multiplayer mode can be chaotic, but it's absolutely a blast.\nMonaco also sports a unique visual style, thanks to simple but well-designed characters, creative typography and UI, and a neat system for managing how much you can see (and how quickly enemies can spot you). It brings new conventions to the table of stealth games, while still making a stealth game something you want to play with four players.\nFor $15, it's a must-get now on PC. It should be hitting Xbox 360 soon as well. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Poker Night 2\n\n\nHave you ever wondered if Borderlands' feisty robot Claptrap is good at cards? Do you think Brock Samson from The Venture Brothers has a tell? You can find out in Telltale Games' Poker Night 2, released this week.\nPoker Night 2 has you playing two varieties of poker against those two, along with freelance police officer/dog Sam from the Sam and Max franchise, and a digital version of Ash from Army of Darkness. Your dealer is unapologetically evil GLaDOS from Portal, rounding out the cast of comical and insane characters. You'll play them all at cards, and winning nets you glory, along with sweet loot for other games. \nPoker NIght 2 is out now for PC, Mac, and Xbox 360, next week for PlayStation 3, and coming soon for iOS. It costs $4.99.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Robot Unicorn Attack 2\n\n\n\"Always, I want to be with you...\"\nIf you've ever loved magic, rainbows and sparkles, and dreamt of being an awesome unicorn, Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is going to be your jam.\nAdult Swim Games stealthily released this sequel to the popular endless runner this week, and it promises to be just as charming and endearing as the first game. You play a unicorn that must get as far as possible, jumping gaps and avoiding obstacles. You have three turns (called \"wishes\") to get a high score, and collect tears that can be redeemed to upgrade your unicorn into a sweet robo-death machine.\nThe most wonderful parts of Robot Unicorn Attack 2, just like the original, are the art and the music. The backgrounds and characters have all been souped up from the previous version. And while Erasure's inescapable \"Always\" isn't the title track, it's on sale for $1 in the store.\nRobot Unicorn Attack 2 is free now for iOS. [iTunes link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Papo &amp; Yo\n\n\nIt's hard for video games to attempt to tackle serious issues, but it can be done. Papo &amp; Yo is a story of how one boy escapes his father's alcoholism told through a metaphor of a giant temperamental monster.\nThis indie gem was PlayStation 3 exclusive since last summer, but it just arrived on Steam on April 18. It sports updated graphics and game fixes as well, so it's a perfect time for those who haven't checked it out. You can even read our longer review of the game, published last summer. \nPapo &amp; Yo is currently $13.49 on Steam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe weather may be getting nicer, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't spend part of this weekend playing some great games.\nWhile there weren't really any major console releases worth noting this week, there were plenty of new games released for downloadable systems. All the games we highlighted are fun, charming and engrossing, and none of them cost more than $15.\nSEE ALSO: The 14 Weirdest Video Games Ever Created\nCheck out our list above for suggestions.
