(wme) Barrow Hill – Something spooky this way comes…

BarrowHillSS01

Okay.  While looking through completed WME games I might enjoy, I got on to this Barrow Hill by Shadow Tor Studios.  I almost wasn’t going to review this, because of the subject matter I determined would be acceptable.  But looking at the first person perspective I sort of felt it wouldn’t like get gory or anything.  Now the case may change with the full version, but the demo is just fine.  I also wanted to choose something a little bit different than I normally play.  Firstly the first person perspective adventure games (say like Myst) is not something I play usually.  Secondly I really don’t care much for supposedly “scary”, horror, or thriller games.  Mostly because as horror movies, these games get more realistic and thus a bit more gory.  Luckily this is an adventure game, so the chances of this being truly that bad is small.

(ags) Annie Android – Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do. I’m half crazy all for the love of you. – AGS

AnnieAndroidSS01

Well today’s adventure game made in AGS isn’t about anyone named Daisy, but if you can figure out the reference I’ll randomly put your name in one of my reviews, and if you figure out the double reference, I’ll put your name your name randomly in TWO of my reviews.  Anyways, today’s game is about a little bot named Annie Android by Ben Chandler aka Ben304.  “Annie Android has her eye on that handsome Mailbot, but is shocked to discover that she has been assigned to be another bot’s partner!  Help Annie win the heart of Mailbot and defeat the nasty RoboHQ!” is what the readme says.  So let’s see if we can help her out.  Annie Android is made by the same guy who made Shifter’s Box.  So it’s sure to be interesting.

Space Falcon Commander – Fast ship? You’ve never heard of the Space Falcon? – Flash

"Should I have?"
"It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I’ve outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I’m talking about the big Corellian ships now. She’s fast enough for you old man. What’s the cargo?"

SpaceFalconCommanderSS01Okay okay, so that was the Millennium Falcon.  But now we have the Space Falcon.  Space Falcon Commander that is.  Just what IS Space Falcon Commander, you ask?  It’s a game.  “I know it’s a game, you imbecile!” I hear you shout in your minds!  It’s a game for the iPhone.  Ahhh… Wait a second, Uhfgood, you don’t do iPhone games, do you?  You’re quite right, I don’t have an iPhone, or an iPod Touch, which by the way if anyone could oblige me with one, I’ll be happy to review iPhone games, er that is, if you can actually play a demo on those things.  Maybe they’re so low priced, they don’t do demos?  However since this is Flash Friday, I had the opportunity to play a flash version of it.
