Get a load of this monstrous boss enemy. Yikes! It's a bit like if Salamander had been written by HR Giger. It'd certainly give me the heeby-jeebies at the end of a tough-level of bullet-hell shmup, or worse yet, if it came hurtling down a corridor at you in some survival-horror FPS. But do you know the most terrifying thing about it?
YOU'VE ALREADY GOT ONE OF THESE LIVING INSIDE YOU.
Just a few days after release, Speedball 2 Evolution has had its price slashed from £2.39 to 59p, for an unknown length of time.
At that price, everybody pile in.
While it's still free, so that you can enjoy its awesome ghost-racing capers.
Having played Mad Skills Motocross (available for PC, Mac and Linux as well as iOS), I am now OUTRAGED that all other racing-type games don't let you go to the online leaderboards and go head-to-head against the recording of anyone's best run. I'd write to my MP about it, but he's a treacherous cunt.
or Why The iPhone Is The New Amiga, Part 17.
Minotron 2112 was released today (at the time of writing an iTunes or App Store search for "minotron" doesn't bring it up, but if instead you search for "llamasoft" it's there), the second outing for Jeff Minter's game-in-a-month Minotaur Project after the flawed but fun Minotaur Rescue.
(Which incidentally is apparently about to have many of the issues raised in the WoSblog review – or "moaning", as Mr Minter refers to user feedback – fixed in a just-submitted update.)
So Apple are as we speak unveiling the much-hyped iPad 2, and to be honest it's not very interesting. It's thinner, it's got a faster CPU (dual-core) and front and back cameras, and that's about it.
To be honest, it seems like an update for the sake of doing an update, and because if you didn't your share price would fall or something.
Take it away, ActionPig!
"With frequent touches on your screen, you will bring the
pig and the farmer to scream."
Er, thanks, ActionPig.
You have to assume they were aiming for "wand", but who can say for sure with those zany Japanese dudes? $5000 seems a tad pricey either way.
Or a terrible warning from the future? I can't be sure.
In either event, it's probably too late for me now.
