Need to blow off some steam after a stressful time? How about doing so with firing range simulation Arma 2: Firing Range? It's just been released and looks to be the ideal way to relax for those in need of venting.

Available initially as a free download, Arma 2: Firing Range promises the realism of the Armaverse. Three weapons are supplied with the free version along with 1 firing range to check out and three levels of the career mode.

For $1.99, players get the chance to play with dozens of weapons such as the M9, M16 and the VSS Vintorez. Multiple firing ranges are also provided along with a full career mode. While there's no sign of any enemies to shoot, players do get the satisfaction of lining up their shot carefully to take out the numerous targets.

Arma 2: Firing Range is available now as an Universal app.

Having never played either the iOS game Gibbets or the flash game Gibbets 2, I thought I'd best see what all the fuss is about before I announce that Gibbets 2 is set to hit the app store during Q2 next year.

I quickly learnt why the franchise has been played over 250 million times. It sucks up time in a manner that's a sign of something truly special.

It's a simple enough game. Each level comprises of a few people hanging from nooses and it's the player's job to cut them down by shooting arrows in their direction. Underneath that surface is a compelling game thanks to the keen physics engine within that means it's vital to line up the shot and speed just right. Players are also provided with a limited number of arrows per level and are punished accordingly for taking too long or hitting the poor victims.

It's great fun on the PC and I suspect it'll be an ideal game for iOS with easy touch based controls and 30 levels promised.

Gibbets 2 is set for release sometime in Q2 2012. We'll be sure to keep up to date on any developments.
