Guest contributor Graham takes us through some classic game soundtracks from yesterday that you should have in your headphones today!
Once you’ve had your first shot it’s a simple game to play that you will come back to with different groups of people. It may be limited, but kids and adults alike will enjoy and it’s a bargain for it’s price tag.
In this episode you get not just one amazing guest, but two. I talk to our old friend Phil Harris and Brian Baglow of Scottishgames.net.
This is not just the best adaptation of a TV series ever made, its also just as good as one of the best comic book series of all time.
Shark Dash’s best levels feel like Rube Goldberg machines. The mix of dynamics is what makes the game satisfying.
We caught up with Kevin Corti and Adam Russell of Soshi Games to discuss their new title Music Festivals, the challenges of games development and how to take a ckick ass promo photo.
Remembered as fondly for its story and cut scenes filled with sci-fi spectacle as its solid space-based gameplay, Wing Commander is a genuine classic and one of those rare titles you can confidently describe as great.
The plot of Waking Mars is fairly simple. You are an astronaut exploring Mars, which it turns out is teeming with life. This life is in a largely dormant form, but as you experiment with throwing different types of seeds and water you start to raise the levels of activity of these lifeforms.
Avernum is a game series created by Spiderweb Software and are originally remakes of their Exile series in the 90’s. Escape from the Pit is a modern remake of the original First 3 Avernum games, and has been completely rewritten and reworked.
We visit the premier boardgame and RPG convention Conpulsion and talk to organiser Phil Harris as well as the brilliant people from the NED podcast (nearly enough dice).
One of the first things that will strike you if you play this remake is the visuals. If you are familiar with the very unique graphical style of Bitmap Brothers games it will be immediately familiar.
