Leisure Suite Larry Reloaded goes Mobile

Well, it's currently iOS only, what with the Android version pulled off of Google Play to get itself fixed, but the slightly awkward, slightly happy truth that the remake of the original Leisure Suit Larry has made it to touch-devices remains. If you have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and $4.99 you can grab Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded here.

The game itself, a truly traditional point-and-click adventure, is the second remake of Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry; a game that itself was a re-imagining/parody of Sierra's Softporn. Now, I personally quite like how Reloaded came out and appreciate both the new graphics and the extra content, but make no mistake. This is a game for the people that loved the original and only them.

Oh, and the Android version should be up again soon too.

Kickstarting Unnamed 101

I like twin-stick shooters on touch-based devices, I like having RPG elements thrown into my action games, I certainly like the aesthetics of steampunk and would thus really like to see Unnamed 101 happen. It does after all look fantastic, has set itself a modest goal and will become available on both iOS and Android devices. Here's the kickstarter of the thing.

The Droidscape: Basilica Story Trailer Unveiled

As you may already know, Droidscape: Basilica by Kyttaro Games, will be an ambitious puzzle-arcade game for iOS that will sport unique path-drawing/two-gameplay-phases mechanics, stop-motion animation, an impressively rich soundtrack and a fleshed out sci-fi setting. Well, what you see above is the first trailer of the thing; the story trailer.

As you may also be aware of I've been working on this one for over a year now, so, well, spreading the word would be deeply appreciated.

Droidscape: Basilica will be released for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch very (very!) soon.

It's not expensive: XCOM - Enenmy Unknown iOS


No, wise reader, $19.99 is not expensive for an iOS game. Not when it's XCOM: Enemy Unknown we are talking about; the best, richest, most beautiful turn-based strategy game of recent years on any platform and one of the best strategy games ever fullstop. What's more, it's a game that will not only entertain you for dozens of hours, but an excellent port from the world of keyboards and joypads to the highly portable world of touch-screens.

And, yes, this is a radical re-imagining of 1993 TBS classic UFO: Enemy Unknown, that has been brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century, complete with elegant mechanics, stunning graphics and a lovely interface. Oh, and do keep in mind that though changes have been made, they are generally for the best and the tactical bits are the best they 've ever been.

Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover The Ultimate Sea Shanty

You got to love huge game names, especially as they make site/blog titles seem so ridiculously cumbersome and even more so when said titles have been penned by the mighty Ron Gilbert. What's more, you also have to love (nay, adore) the fact that Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover The Ultimate Sea Shanty has just been released for the iPad and iPhone and, I suppose, everything in between.

It's a beautifully illustrated, very polished and wisely designed match-3 pirate musical RPG and thus has a description elaborate enough to match its title. Also, it's the first match-3 I've really enjoyed in ages and the only one to feature 100 hats in it.

Scurvy Scallywags currently costs $0.99, but, if the rumours are correct, this offer wont last long.

Gua-Le-Ni goes universal; yes, it does.

Gua-Le-Ni, one of the oddest and most delightfully refreshing games installed on my iPad, has finally done the jump to iPhone and has thus gone universal, which is frankly great news. The cube-spinning, monstrosity-spawning, cryptozoology thingy can be grabbed over at the App Store.

Android Arcade-y Fun with Death Ray Manta

Brilliantly explosive and quite frankly stunning arena shmup Death Ray Manta has finally ported its laser-bearing self to Android. Grab it for almost nothing over at Google Play and see if you can actually beat it. Oh, and, yes, it's highly recommended this one.
