Notice how goo kind of rhymes with review? Yeah, we planned that.
We’ve covered 2DBoy’s premier game World of Goo fairly extensively in the past so we were very excited to get our hands on a final build and really see what the game has to offer. I’ve spent the last 48 hours more or less steeped in the World of Goo and I must say I walked away very impressed. Everything about the game from it’s fantastic presentation, to the unique puzzles, to it’s quirky sense of humor just oozes with gooey quality.

If there is one particular brand of game that intrigues me most, then it must most certainly be puzzle games. Gamers themselves are a weird brand of people; where other people may give in, they will pursue a game to the very end, locked in a constant battle of wits with the game, never once daring to relax their concentration. This persistence is more than obvious when it comes to puzzle games, where not only is the game challenging you, but the developer themselves is seemingly mocking you from behind the scenes, laughing at every slip and mistake. And to give in to such ridicule would be unthinkable.

Maybe from your youth you can remember when interactive movies were popular, games such as Dragon Lair, Space Ace, Mad Dog McCree… Well I’m a massive fan of them so I took it upon myself to track down the company responsible for the re-releasing of them and get the latest information.
Thus in our continuing coverage of the casual gaming world we decided to take a temporary step in a kinda different direction, the interactive DVD market. Digital Leisure is the biggest in that field so we thought it best to do a quick catch up and see what’s on the horizon.

The beta of ‘Zompocalypse’ the brainchild of two Aussie game developers is finally out for public testing, and in my opinion… is truely awesome. In Zompocalypse equipped with destructive weaponry take on hordes of Zombies, solo or with a partner… Think Metal Slug except zombiefied and you’ll be get a rough idea of what this game is like.
There is still a bundle of bugs to be ironed out, but for an early beta Zompocalypse is shaping up very nicely, and for some co-op carnage I’ll definitely be getting a copy of the full version, find the download after the jump.

I returned from this vegetarian restaurant downtown today after having eaten a meal that looked vaguely like something that fell out of a horse. I remember feeling disappointed at my inability to find pleasure in the “cool” things in life. Things like the trendy vegetarian restaurant downtown. Discouraged, I decided to fire up the Bioshock demo that was released on PSN recently as my first play through had been cut short and I was looking forward to finishing it. Ideally it would allay any concerns I may have had about always being “that guy” that bucks the popular trend just to be different. I bloody hate that guy. Read more… »
Clean Asia is a quirky indie shmup (shoot ‘em ups for those not in the know) by Cactus, an indie game developer from Sweden. This game has been out for a while and it is generally well regarded, so if you play indie games, you may have already played it. Nevertheless, this game still deserves a review, for being so awesome. Read more… »
