Indie RPGs aren't terribly uncommon nowadays. Neither are indie RPGs with a retro flair. But an indie RPG with a retro flair that's also set against a film noir backdrop? Ok, you've got my attention. Stepping into the shoes of a shamed police detective turned private eye, Pixel Noir will task players with finding clues, interrogating suspects, and - since it's also a JPRG at heart - engaging in turn-based battles with some unexpectedly gruesome foes. Pixel Noir definitely piqued my curiosity, but it also has me thinking out loud: Is film noir the next big trend in games? Pixel Noir's existence seems to have come along right at the same time as the sci-fi gumshoe adventure , and if you like what you see, send a pledge their way. |
Solid, sturdy bridges are vital for modern transportation, but they were a super-necessity in ye olden days of carts and horses. Rickety bridges equaled accidents, which equaled spilled beer, which equaled big sadness. Oh, and shoddy workmanship caused people to die as well. That was pretty unfortunate. Bridge Constructor Medieval is another bridge-building game from Headup Games. The same rules apply here as in Bridge Constructor: Build bridges that won't crumple like wet paper when people set foot on them. There are some additional, middle age twists as well. As its name suggests, Bridge Constructor Medieval takes place in the fine days of maidens, knights, and dragons (note: There were no dragons slithering around in medieval times. Do not tell your teacher otherwise). You're tasked with building bridges for a kingdom that's under siege by a band of barbarians. |
Blek is a minimalist puzzle game that encourages player creativity through a lack of rules, restrictions, or requirements. The only instruction you'll ever be given is to make a gesture; after that, figuring out what to do, how to do it, and if you even want to is entirely up to you. The world of Blek is made up of colorful dots on a white background. Drawing on the white screen creates a line that follows your fingertip as long as you continue drawing. Once you lift your finger, the line is let loose to fly around the screen, yet it's not exactly free: the line will continue mirroring whatever directions you gave it while doodling. As it touches the colorful dots, they disappear, and once all dots are gone the level is complete. |
Bridge Constructor Medieval is a bridge building / physics game from HeadUp Media. In this game, you use different materials to build bridges that must be stable enough to support the weight of soldiers as well as horses and wagons. Moreover, some of your bridges need to be strong enough to withstand catapult fire from enemy barbarians. Gamezebo's walkthrough will provide you with some tips and hints that will help you build bridges that won't call it quits in the middle of a crossing. |
Love roguelikes? How about really really old school roguelikes? Yes? Good. Get ye butt to the App Store. Sword of Fargoal, a 1982 desktop classic resurrected by its original creator Jeff McCord, of his previous work, Inaria. |
The Nintendo Game Boy celebrated it's 25th anniversary in April, and two things happened as a result: it made me feel old, and it made me feel nostalgic. And while Crescent Moon Games can't do much about my age, they're prepared to help me out with my nostalgia. Published by Crescent Moon and developed by Cascadia Games, 2-bit Cowboy is every bit the lost Gameboy title you want it to be. The trailer can give you a pretty good feel for what's in store, and after having a chance to go hands on with the game early, I'm happy to report that it plays as good as it looks. Also, "Westernvania" is my new favorite word. Saddle up, cowpokes. This one hits the App Store this Thursday, May 8. |
Blek is a puzzle game developed by Kunabi Brother. Players will draw lines to collect colored dots scattered around the screen while avoiding obstacles. Gamezebo's strategy guide will give you all of the tips and tricks you'll need in order to perfect your line-drawing skills and make it to level 60. |
Wondering what Telltale's take on the ever-gorgeous world of Borderlands will look like? SURPRISE! It looks a lot like Borderlands. Lucky for us, that's a really good thing. The art direction shouldn't be a shock for any number of reasons - the least of which is that Telltale released when announcing the series - but that doesn't mean we're any less excited to see a bevy of screenshots emerge. In addition to launching these new images into the wild, Telltale gave Tales from the Borderlands a tentative release window this morning, "later this summer," and they've confirmed that the story will take place after Borderlands 2. Strap in folks - these postcards from Pandora should help you bridge the gap until you can visit it yourself in the coming months. |
Tiny Dice Dungeon is a role-playing game (RPG) from Kongregate. In this game, you explore dungeons and throw dice to launch attacks against monsters. Monsters can also be tamed to fight at your side. Gamezebo's walkthrough will provide you with some tips and hints that will help you master your own fate. |
Toward the end of a small group session at Bandai Namco's Global Gamers Day in Las Vegas, Director of Digital Games In Joo Hwang wandered in. He was ostensibly there to give some extra insight into the game on display, but instead, he did something unexpected: he admitted his company had made a mistake. Tilting the conversation toward free-to-play games, Hwang admitted that Bandai Namco had missed the boat and was now working hard to catch up. Stating that the only way to make up ground would be to deliver titles of very high quality, he also hinted at the difficulty in getting everyone involved to change mindsets from shipping products to delivering services. Hwang punctuated that last point by saying that he told employees to face the fact that "the most ugly form of your game is going to be the launch product." Though the event covered a lot of ground, the recurring theme of Bandai Namco embracing free-to-play games on all platforms was impossible to miss. It popped up in expected places like upcoming mobile games, but also in the revamping of established console franchises in F2P forms. |
Real heroes fight with dice. That is to say, they roll up their attack numbers and then strike accordingly. They don't whip dice at monsters, which is an entertaining but ultimately ineffective spectacle. Tiny Dice Dungeon from Kongregate is a role-playing game with a battle system that utilizes the art of dice-throwing. You make your way across a monster-infested world, tame beasts to fight alongside you, rescue villagers, and call on Lady Luck as you roll dem bones. There's a lot to do, and like gambling, it's hellishly addictive. If it didn't rely so heavily on ill-suited free-to-play mechanics, it'd be one of the best RPGs available for mobile. Tiny Dice Dungeon takes place in a broken land that's been infested by hostile monsters. Humankind expanded outwards without much regard for the creatures living in the wilds, and said creatures pushed back in a big way. Now you must strike out and try to restore some semblance of peace to the world. |
Dwarven Den is a puzzle / mining game from Backflip Studios. In this game, you dig through mines filled with rock, sand, and soil to reach specific goals. If you run out of energy before you meet those goals, however, you're done for. Gamezebo's strategy guide will provide you with some tips and hints that will help you dig for fun and profit. |
I'm a sucker for a good golf game. And if I can take it with me on the go, even better. But there hasn't been anything exciting that I could putt around with my in pocket for quite some time. In fact, it's been so long since there's been a good golf game on the App Store that I've been secretly waiting for Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational to drop to free on PlayStation Plus. But with EA's latest Canadian soft launch, it looks like I might finally have a golf game I can call my own again: . |
