Joe Danger going mobile

Hello Games have just been interviewed by Gamasutra and announced that their brilliant (and quite successful too) Joe Danger game will be getting its much deserved mobile port. The game will apparently be very different when compared to its console editions and will appear on both iOS and Android devices. And, just so you know, Joe Danger is an arcade-like, stunt bike riding offering with bright visuals and excellent game mechanics.

An Assassin in Orlandes (Android)

Tin Man Games has finally started porting its excellent Gamebook Adventures to Android. Yes, it's true and you can already grab volume #1 An Assassin in Orlandes over at Google Play. It's a lovely choose-your-own-adventure RPG thing it is and it looks and plays beautifully.

Super Meat Boy coming to iOS

The ever lovely Indie Game Magazine has brought to our collective attentions the happy fact that indie darling Super Meat Boy is actually coming to iOS. The venerable and quite excellent platformer will apparently undergo more than a few drastic changes in order to properly adapt its most demanding gameplay to touch controls. Easier said than done, I know, but here's the official announcement to alleviate your fears. 

Retro Racing is back!

Mr Qwak's brilliant, retro-inspired, beautiful and excellently designed Retro Racing is back (after a few silly problems of bureaucratic nature) on the App Store. Grab it. It remains a refreshingly fun and addictive racing game by a developer that has been providing us with great games since the Amiga era. 

Adventure Game Studio PSP

The Adventure Game Studio, as you might already be aware of, is a powerful yet simple to use and very freeware (open source too) tool for creating point-and-click adventure games for the PC. It has already helped with the creation of such masterpieces as Gemini Rue, the Blackwell series, Eternally Us, The Shivah, Snakes of Avalon, Metal Dead and seems to have played an integral part in the adventure game renaissance we are experiencing.

Happily, you can now play all those fantastic adventures on your Sony PSP too, what with the release of the impressive Adventure Game Studio Runtime for PSP. At the time of writing all games made with AGS version 2.50 or higher and running in low resolution are supported.

GemRB brings classic RPGs to Android & iOS

While we were all waiting for the iPad version of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced, dear Gary went on and discovered something rather spectacular: GemRB. It's an open source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine that can run on practically anything, meaning that you can also enjoy such masterpieces as Planescape: Torment and Baldur's Gate on your iOS or Android thingy. Apparently, it works pretty impressively too and wont cost you a thing!

The King of Shreds and Patches

The King of Shreds and Patches, the excellent novel-sized piece of interactive fiction by Jimmy Maher, has finally been made available on Android tablets. You can find out more about it over here. It's definitely worth your time mind.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition for iPad

We were all more or less underwhelmed by the recent announcement of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, but -truth be said- it could easily turn out to be much more than (I, at least) originally expected. Baldur's Gate does after all remain a brilliant CRPG that does justice to both the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons system and the Forgotten Realms setting. Besides, it hasn't aged a day.

What's more, the developers of the Enhanced Edition have just announced the game will actually be coming to the iPad! It will be released sometime during the summer and we can be perfectly sure that it will indeed be the best RPG available for the platform. Will probably look fantastic too.

Quiet, Please! (Windows Phone)

Don't think I'ever posted anything on Windows Phones yet, but, well, the time has come to add that platform to GotG's interests. So, what better way to kick things off than pointing you towards a brand new, happily pixelated, colourful and very intriguing adventure game? None, really. Here's Quiet, Please! then. A lovely and cheerful puzzle-solving offering that will only set you back $0.99.
