Radiant Review

Today we are going to be taking a look into a game I had found on the Windows 8 App store and is free to download. If you are a fan of the old space invaders series then this might be a blast from the past to you. With colorful graphics and catchy music this game can entertain not just you but the whole family. The easy to use controls allows for almost every too play this game with a mouse or a touch screen. If you have a kid and you want to find a child friendly game then this game is for you.  If you want to know more on this game, or just want to download it, then click the link below.

Twitch Plays Pokemon

Over the past week there has been a wide event taking place over at Twitch.tv called “Twitch Plays Pokémon”, or “TPP” for short. It is an online play-through of one of the classic Gameboy games “Pokémon Red”. But it’s not just one group of friends playing the game and commenting on it. Twitch Plays Pokémon is literally 70+ thousand viewers including you if you watch it, playing through this game using only commands that you typed out on your keyboard. TPP takes the concept of a thousand monkeys in a room full of typewriters, and replaces the typewriters with one Pokémon game. The results may actually surprise you.

Flappy Bird Review

Over the past week I’ve been hearing a lot of good and bad things about this hit sensation called “Flappy Bird”. But what is flappy bird? Believe it or not it is an Android and iOS game made by Dong Nguyen and as soon as it became a big hit, it was taken off of the map due to the creator saying he didn’t want this fame and didn’t mean for this game to be that successful. So on February 8th Flappy Bird was taken off of the app store so no one could play the game anymore. I wondered why this game was a personal favorite by many, so I decided to look around until I found an exact copy of the game made in Flash.  So it may not be the original, but it can give me a good insight on what the hype was all about for this game.

Sperlunky Review

Finally I decided to go back to the chrome app store to try and find something to kill some time. What better way to kill time than to play a game? While browsing around I did find one game that kind of reminded me of pitfall from the old Atari era, just with better graphics. That game is what we are going to look at today. Introducing sperlunky, although an interesting name it is an independently made game that was released not just for the google chrome app store, but psn, and xbox live as well. So let’s dive right it to the catacombs that our grave will surely be.
