The premise of the Anomaly games is so simple that it’s a wonder it hadn’t been executed before. Anomaly: Warzone Earth took the iOS staple of Tower Defense and turned it inside out; having you play as the attack force whose job is to maintain a constant onslaught and push through enemy defenses. Essentially, this game helped create a sub-genre on its own; Tower Offfense! Anomaly 2 takes place a number of years after the first title and even though [...]
One of my favorite things to do is insinuate music I like into games. The format itself is designed to provide a singular experience to every player, so the addition of music only accentuates that. Games like Audiosurf allow you to integrate gameplay with your iTunes library, creating an endlessly replayable experience that is adjustable depending on whatever is coming up on your playlist. With the upcoming Rush Bros., XYLA Entertainment has taken this concept and thrown it into a [...]
Sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and enjoy a video game in all its big, dumb glory. I enjoy a mature, gripping story as much as the next person, but games like Zack Zero exist to clear the palate and bring you some instant gratification. Nothing says ‘video game’ quite like this title; a 2D/3D science fiction sidescroller, in which you play as the titular hero who runs, jumps, shoots, burns, freezes, and blasts his way through a variety [...]
Last year Stardock released a very interesting little game with Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. The idea was to merge two of the biggest strategy options in the tactical SRPG and empire building simulation. Bold choice to say the least as both genres are notorious for sucking away hours of your life. As a tactical SRPG fan, the game has certainly been some good fun to spend the last few weeks previewing. On May 22nd they are planning on expanding Fallen Enchantress [...]
There are a handful of locations in the world that evoke a certain kind of glamour and mystique. Paris, New York, Tokyo, Berlin…Monaco is also one of those. A playground for both the wealthy and the amoral, Monaco is a tiny city/state located in a corner of Southern France and is mostly known for its casinos, F1 racing, and nightlife. This is also a popular location for Bond movies and heist flicks, and it’s the latter identification with this place [...]
Video games allow me to explore vast worlds, experience epic stories, and encounter unique characters. Mostly however, they give me the opportunity to beat the crap out of enemies big and small. There are few things as satisfying as wading into a group of enemies and just whaling on them. Sacred Citadel, the new beat-em-up by Southend, sets out to scratch this itch by offering a game where you get to play as one of four classes and fight your [...]
Back in October, I wrote a preview for Alien Spidy, Enigma SP’s platforming game, which was slated for release at the end of 2012. It was delayed for a few months, but it has finally been released onto Steam. One thing that really struck me about the demo was that while it was fun, it suffered from the lack of precision with the web-shooting mechanic. Playing the full version has demonstrated that the gameplay is largely unchanged from the demo [...]
You will often come across a game that really wants to be funny, throwing jokes and anecdotes all over the place. Seldom do you come across that game only to find it trying too hard and ultimately bursting into a horrific blaze of awful jokes. Still, at times it might squeeze a chuckle or two out of you. Add turn-based strategy and that’s Highborn. While this game is chock-full of constant attempts at comedy, it’s a good thing its humor [...]
Imagine if you will, a game that allows you to experience the entire lifetime of a character and shape your complete experience based on the decisions you make both out on adventures and back in your hometown. Imagine not only managing your attributes by acting and reacting in appropriate ways, but also increasing your meter by which others respect you over the course of your life. Now, imagine you’re a monster. This is essentially what Monster Loves You is: a [...]
There is a well-known belief that comedy is the hardest kind of storytelling to create. Within that, satire is the hardest kind of comedy to do. Why is that? Not only does it require that the audience have a level of understanding about the subject matter being lampooned, but it needs to demonstrate some proficiency within the constraints of what it is skewering. Take Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard for example; it was funny and satirical, but was [...]
