TAR pt. 6: The cursed box

Filed Under Competitions, Flash, Free, Indie, PC, Retro | 2 Comments

No need for faffing about. You know the routine by now, surely! Here’s another four entries for your inspection…

Free Dee by LemonScented
Entitled using a cunning “pune”, or play on words, this one gets bonus points for supporting those cutting edge owners of bonafidy 3D goggles! Normal visuals are also available but that sort [...]

Plan B…

Filed Under Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Inevitability STRIKES!
Okay, so the TARs will still be a regular feature, but there’s no possible way in any existing universe that I’ll finish all of the reviews before the voting period closes as I was first aiming for. Does this matter? I suppose it does and it doesn’t. In the incredibly remote likelihood [...]

TAR pt. 5: Into the dungeons

Hello there and welcome back to another spifftastic batch of Assemblee hopefuls! Only three tonight – sorry, but for some reason I think I’m already starting to suffer from review burnout. Don’t worry, though… I’m not giving up yet!

TAR pt. 4: Insert another quarter

Filed Under Competitions, Flash, Free, Funny, Indie, PC, Retro | Leave a Comment

Right, I’m going to have to pick up the pace a little since we’re running behind schedule. Badly, in fact. Today makes it 19 games down, so only another 54 to go – over seven days, that means eight a day. Haha! It’s all going pear-shaped, I tell ya! But enough of that. [...]

Crivens! Time to start (and finish) blazing a path through section C, but today, you’ll have to click past the jump to see the details – after I failed to post the third part yesterday, there’s now a whole seven games to cover in this installment!
Another new thing is that if a [...]

Oh boy! As we keep cracking along down the alphabet we find some real humdingers filed under “B”.
One thing I forgot to mention in the first TAR post is that the download links will point you to the final competition version of the games – bear in mind there may also be further updated downloads! [...]

Guild Wars 2 is sounding good

Filed Under Commercial, MMO, PC | Leave a Comment

One of the  Guild Wars 2 developers recently chimed in on a  forum thread dicussing the sound effects of the game. They went into the details of exactly how they’re going about the job, and revealed that several effects such as footsteps and armor noise are generated procedurally. If you play with sound enabled (especially [...]

Assemblee Review, part the first

Filed Under Atari, Competitions, Free, Funny, Indie, Mac, PC, Retro | 1 Comment

With the TIGSource Assemblee entrants out in the open, I thought I’d blurt out a few words – or in some cases perhaps more than just a few – on each of the contenders, no matter how NSFW they may be. This could be an epic undertaking. 73 mini-reviews in under two weeks? Oh, crud. [...]
