Ever felt the need to play Hangman, but didn’t like all the money involved with playing Wheel of Fortune? Hang ‘em High A Hangman Game is just for you! Let’s be honest here, there is much to hangman and therefore there isn’t much to this game. I took the time to play though so if you want to read on to how this game works, and why it has a violence rating of 1/3, read on.
This week’s review is not going to be a typical review because Physics Lab is not a typical “game.” Physics Lab is basically a sandbox program that allows you to create objects and play around with the physics engine. If this interests you, read on. If you just want to be able to play a game with clear objectives, a beginning and end, etc, then look elsewhere.
After a departure with a puzzle game in Arkedo Series – 02 SWAP!, Pastagames returns to platforming (much like the wonderful 01 – JUMP!) in Arkedo Series –03 PIXEL! on Xbox Live Indie Games. Just like JUMP! it’s the “old school platforming” feel that makes it fun to play and a great value.
Well, it’s Indie Games Wednesday and this Friday is Christmas so I figured I should do a Christmas related game: This week is The Flight Before Christmas. It’s a single player Christmas themed game that puts you in control of Santa delivering his presents.
What was the first game system you owned? If you said Playstation or Nintendo 64, you may want to just move along. Arkedo Series –01 JUMP! (from here on I’ll just refer to it as Jump) is a straight up old school platformer straight from the 80s 8-bit NES/Sega Master System days. While this may turn a lot of people off, to me I thought it was a great experience.
I know, it’s not a review for Indie Games Wednesday, but i wanted to post something as promised. Weapon of Choice has been recently updated on Xbox Live Indie Games. The next time you load the game up it will prompt you to update it which requires a redownload of the game. Once this is done you will notice that there are quite a few more difficulty levels now for those looking for a challenge, or those that want to play through multiple times at different levels. In terms of what else the update does – I am still not sure as I did not notice anything different so far. Will update further as I find out.
Many people are familiar with the iPhone and iPod Touch and the much talks about “apps” and the marketing campaign of how there is “an app for that.” There are a lot that are useful, and a lot that aren’t. This has carried over slightly to the Blackberry Storm and even a bit to the DSi. People are using their phones and game systems for more than just games more and more now and that can be a good thing… but only when it makes sense. I have seen Flash light apps on the Storm and iPhone and it makes sense since it is something that you carry with you all the time. But your Xbox 360???
We all knew that with Xbox having the Xbox Live Indie games that besides having twin-stick shooters and tower defense games that someone would have to come up with an FPS for the service. Well, in comes Alien Encounters – Attack on Xa-Tam and I feel like I was in a time warp.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the price of Weapon of Choice, one of the Xbox Live Indie Games, has dropped to $3. I felt that at $5 the game was well worth it, so now it’s an even better deal and everyone should check it out. Click here for my review of the game.
