Meep

Haven’t had a games round-up lately, so let’s see what shinies catch my eye over the past week.

Huzzah! Fans of The Underside rejoice! A new gameplay trailer was released today (see below). *drool*…

No self-respecting fan of remakes could possibly ignore Urban Interactive‘s new rendition of 3D Starstrike. Anyone who enjoyed the original will surely be blown away with the snazzy graphics, creative audio and huge amount of polish. Personally I’ve never been one for rail shooters like this but I’d still give two thumbs up for sheer effort.

Atum, Slithens and Ratoney go forth to save the world of Appalathia in Ghost of Aliens

In the world of RPGs we find Ghosts of Aliens into which the author has poured six months of toil. I’ve not had chance to play through this yet, but it’s one I’ll be checking over the weekend if I have time. Hey, it has a character in it called Slithens, a “British snake” – crack on, sir! The world needs more games with Brits in them The full info and download link are over at this Gaming World Forums post.

And to round things off – well, it’s great when developers come up with short, catchy names for their projects. Arrogancy Games have got it spot on, and are soon to release their XNA title An Awesome Game Where You Shoot Stuff and it Blows Up and Then You Win the Game – The Game, or otherwise known as the much easier to pronounce AAGWYSSAIBUATYWTG. If you’re interested then why not watch An Awesome Video Where You See How the Game Looks and Plays Before it is Available and Then You Want to Buy the Game – The Video? It’s right here!
