I’ll quickly introduce myself; I’m Mr Old Skool, there that was quick!! I’ve been registered as a staff writer here for quite a few months but just never found the time to get an article out, for some reason I randomly decided to do it tonight, anyway enough small talk and on with my round up of the 10 finest games Sega’s console swansong has to offer.
Spectraball is one of those games where you control a ball and roll it around, think Marble Blast or Monkey Ball. It contains a few neat features to set it apart from the crowd, but the core gameplay is the same.
Multiwinia is not like other real time strategy games. Multiwinian’s have no time for resource management, no time to build structures, no time to evolve. No, all of that is in the past. War has broken out in Darwinia and it’s time for full-throttle retro-arcade combat. If you think you have what it takes to help end this war, join us here at Casualty Gamer in our campaign against the other-colored flat people.
In our continued Flash walkthroughs coverage this week we have Gateway II, a somewhat dated(2007) by flash standards, puzzler. Gateway II won multiple awards on its release, and is still a great game to play through.
So check it out, and use the walkthrough when you get stuck.
Scrap Metal is the first original game by Slick Entertainment, whom were previously responsible for the XBLA port of N+. Scrap Metal is their attempt at ‘re-igniting’ the arcade top-down racing genre.
If they can get it to stand up to the likes of Rock n’ Roll Racing it could be awesome for some multiplayer carnage. The details on Scrap Metal are pretty sketchy at the moment, and they haven’t even announced what platforms it will be released on. Nonetheless it looks like it could make for a good game.
The Aussie crew over at Toadtrip.com released their debut PC title ‘Zompocalypse’ late last week, Zompocalypse is a hardcore 2D Zombie shoot em up, full of foul language and loads of gore.
I think in our beta coverage we best summed up the game, ‘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.’ Check out the trailer after the jump.
Over the next 24 hours I will be upgrading(or downgrading depending on how you look at it) the site template, expect a few hiccups as I attempt to move it all over.
Story publication will be temporarily suspended until the template is changed, wish us luck.
Far from incredibly a-maze-ing
The Nintendo Wii gave birth to many genres not possible before of other platforms with the addition of motion controls. A no-brainer was the development of tilt-controlled games, of which there has been many in the Wii’s young life span. The Incredible Maze is the latest, a budget priced WiiWare title from Digital Leisure. And while the price point is appropriate (unlike many other games on the service), it is an experience that will leave most very disappointed in the end.
A second comic under CasualtyGamer’s domain is now online, ‘Game Em Up’ is what you might have guessed – a comic about games, but it’s far from competing with Kongtaminated since this one is more focused around mainstream games and the industry rather than online flash games. I apologize for the bad visuals on it right now, but unlike Trash from Kongtaminated I don’t have coding skills great enough to figure out what I’m doing with all this CSS mumbo-jumbo.
Anyway to check out the first 12 strips go GameEmUp , I will try and update it as frequently as I can.
Metroid 2 the under-appreciated bridge between Metroid and Super Metroid has recently been painstakingly remade by a dedicated fan, the graphics are on par with the SNES Metroid graphics and thus is a definite step up from the original monochrome gameboy version.
Although it’s still only a demo, it looks like it could make for a great remake(..catchy rhyme). Grab the latest version here, trailer after the jump.
