Mutant Mudds has had videos up before and they now have three up which I think is awesome of them to do. Some games go up with no videos at all leaving you with a few pictures to decide. Anyways, looks like a solid game. Also good to see another demo up!

Mutant Mudds sounds like the only decent game this week. I'd have to at least see game footage though.
