The Adventures of Shuggy is headed to Steam

by Christian Donlan on May 17, 2012 • 3 Comments

Here's a chance to right some wrongs, perhaps. The Adventures of Shuggy took an age to make, and is a fascinating and rather clever platformer with a cute, Addams' Family vibe. It came out on XBLA a while back to decent reviews but few sales, and that's a shame. Now it's headed to Steam.

Hot Shot: Hockey?

by Christian Donlan on May 15, 2012 • No Comments

Hockey? delivers the sport of Wayne Gretsky - and kings, probably - in all its slippery, face-planting awkwardness. The game, which I'm compelled to admit I read about in this month's issue of PC Gamer, has swiftly reached the point where it's pretty much my favourite sports title of all time, in fact. Not that it was a long list, mind.

Zoom – warped minimalist platforming

by Keith Stuart on May 11, 2012 • 2 Comments

I must confess, I know very little about Wanderlands, the teeny American developer behind such minimalist puzzle treats as Impasse and Midas. However, Donlan insisted that someone had to write about Zoom, the studio's latest browser game, and I am too frightened of him not to do what he requires, lest he release one of his mad cats at me.

Greetings lunchtime audience. Get ready to mainline some nostalgia. Not only is Wolfenstein 3D playable in a browser, coyly placed behind little but an age-gate, but the lovely people at the Zenimax/Bethesda/id conglomerate have unlocked all the levels.

Outernauts – it’s Space Pokemon! (we think)

by Keith Stuart on May 9, 2012 • No Comments

"Have you ever dreamed of a career in cosmic exploration?" asks the teaser video to Insomniac's newly announced Facebook game. "Shyeah!" no doubt comes the reply from the internet. And thus starts the intrigue and excitement surrounding this fresh project from the studio responsible for Ratchet and Clank and the Resistance series.
