How cute is this baby kangaroo?! He hops and bops from leaf to leaf in this simple yet addicting game. I always find myself picking this game to play beacause it doesn’t take much brain power. Great for all ages! You control the little joey by tapping each side of your screen to maneuver him onto each leaf as you try to progress higher and higher in an endless woodland backdrop. The big green leaves give him the regular boost but the little reddish ones, which are less...
Mages are notorious for two things: tampering with things that they shouldn’t (with disastrous consequences), and fighting amongst themselves (also with disastrous consequences). Following the events of Majesty 2, the king leaves the newly united Ardania to conquer new lands. Strife soon befalls the land as relations between the various factions break down, leaving only the Council of Great Mages as the source of order. Only one can rule and bring an end to the...
Raven Plays Diablo: Session 1 – A Tour of Tristram In which we take a look around the legendary hamlet of Tristram.
Klei, the developer of Shank 1 and 2 have a new game coming exclusively to Xbox Live Arcade this summer. Mark of the Ninja retains the 2 dimensional cell shaded side scroller style of the Shank games but adds in the element of stealth. Now I don’t mean Assassin’s Creed style stealth or other games currently out that let you be a bad ass damage sponge OR a stealthy assassin. Mark of the Ninja is hardcore stealthy, like you can’t pull out your sword to...
This hungry little panda loves food! Not just bamboo.. all food! Pretzels, burgers, donuts, even popcicles! What are we going to do with him? I know! Let’s make him the app of the week. This little panda is the object of a very fun, colorful, bouncy game called ‘Don’t Feed the Panda’. Although I am sure that is the opposite of what chubby panda here wants, the objective of the game is to try to avoid all the junk foods spread through each level, and...
We recently had a gamernight where several of the staff played Halo: Reach. There was much discussion about prison etiquette and being the Broeist bro. We hope that you will join us on our next night, but until then enjoy this video of some of the highlights. The song is Garden Party by Blarsa
SXX meets Rats? Ok, not quite. But this helmet clad rodent is the reason why ‘Rat on A Snowboard’ is our first featured app of the week; with its cutesy cartoon graphics, and easy controls you can pick up and play this game within seconds. You have three game modes to choose from: “Speedy Slopes”, “Exploding Meatballs”, and simply, “Challenges”. All of the modes are essentially the same; the first two consist of an endless...
Just days before PAX East this year, Double Dragon Neon was announced as a downloadable title coming to XBLA and PSN. The most exciting part of this announcement for me was the fact that it was being developed by Wayforward, the same studio that delivered the beautiful Bloodrayne: Betrayal. So, while at PAX East this year I decided to check it out. The premise remains the same, a girlfriend of one the brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, is kidnapped by some thugs. This begins the...
Chex Quest was originally created as promotional material for the Chex brand cereal. Shortly after it’s release Chex cereal sales nearly tripled. Children were indoctrinated with the idea that Chex was now cool. The promotion was seen as a smashing success and Chex Quest 2 was released shortly after . Then suddenly it was all gone. Over the next decade small communities would rise, all singular in their love for Chex Quest. Mods were made, forums thrived, multiplayer...
Like I said in my write up of the live demo, something seemed to be missing, that “oomph” from the live demo. Don’t get me wrong the aesthetics and sound were spot on and fantastic. The iconic sound of the pulse rifle remained and just the general look, gave no doubt about it being a game based in the Aliens universe. Brad and myself stayed away from any harsh judgments and figured we would know more as soon as we got our hands on the game for ourselves. We...
