Players score extra for combo-chains which are generated through tapping the cubes accurately. But the ultimate goal of the project isn’t to be the one to amass the most [...]
As a child, one of my biggest dreams was that of Virtual Reality – or VR. Growing up watching the cast of Red Dwarf enter lifelike video game scenarios in Better Than Life and Gunmen of the Apocalypse, and later seeing The Matrix – where the world was a VR construction within which Neo was able to defy the laws of physics, it doesn’t take much imagination to see that a passionate gamer like myself could want to see similar technology [...]
Appynation are a developer-led game publisher who believe that video game developers should own 100% of the game that they create. I caught up with Andrew Smith from Appynation to discuss the company and how publishing games for mobile platforms has seen a boom in the Indie games market. How did the idea for a developer-led publisher like Appynation come about? It came from an observed need. The rise of digital platforms meant that developers were able to soar to [...]

Contributed by CJ There are those folks who fight for their console of choice as if such a machine is family member, 360 vs PS3 becomes some kind of wobbly gaming Montague’s Vs Capulets, with Bill Shakey’s sparkling prose replaced with the likes of ‘ZOMFG [thing] am teh sux’. I’m not arsed about any of that, and frankly couldn’t give a monkeys as to which box under the telly is kicking out the prettifuls, it’s all about the games. All [...]

I didn’t get into the Yakuza series until after the release of the most recent main entry in the series, Yakuza 4. It’s always a series I’d seen in stores, but rarely one I’d hear other people talking about. Perhaps it’s due to the lack of marketing, or perhaps it’s because the series is a PlayStation exclusive – with many people owning Xbox 360′s as their ‘main’ console – but whatever the reason, I was extremely glad that I gave [...]
Contributed by Lisa While searching through my games collection for something to play, I happened to stumble upon one of my old favorites – Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I consider this game a classic and a must for any one who enjoys action. The Prince of Persia series is both developed and published by Ubisoft. There are currently five games in the series, four of which have the same character. Warrior Within is the sequel to the first game, [...]
