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

Friday, March 27th, 2009

"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.

Star Crash – Sorry, no Caroline Munro – Flash

StarCrashSS01

My next Flash Friday entry is called Star Crash by Glowing Eye Games.  We’re not talking about some cheesy 70’s B-grade star wars rip-off either.   We’re talking about a flash game.  I really don’t know what this game has to do with stars other than the space backdrops, or maybe the flying, blue, glowy, thingy.  But it’s a simple game where you collect the blue glowy “stars” and orange glowing spirals.  You must simply avoid the red glowy thingies, or else it’s game over.  It’s simply a survival and get points game.  Nothing spectacular.  Also your mouse cursor is an eye, a glowing eye.  I mean how weird is that?  It’s not that bad to play though.  It does start to get frantic.  This is a good example of a beginners game.  If you want to get your feet wet making a game, do the simplest thing possible.

Death vs Monsters – Death takes a holiday and kicks some a…ahem posterior region. – Flash

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Okay today is the first ever Flash Friday.  What is Flash Friday you ask?  Glad you asked.  I’m going to be reviewing flash games on Friday’s, just like Wednesday’s are XBLCG hump days.  And adventure games are sure to keep you out of the “I Hate Mondays” doldrums.  So without further ado, the review.  (Ha! I rhymed)

What are two of the most awesome things in the world?  Er… no, I mean after pirates, and ninja’s… umm… and after zombies and samurai… and killer robots and giant robots… and after great burgers and chili-dogs and after Mountain Dew (okay so some of you may not like Mt. Dew, but ask almost any computer programmer and they’ll say Mt. Dew is the greatest), and even after really hot chicks…  And now you got it, that’s right the two most awesome things in the world after pirates, ninja’s, zombies, samurai, killer robots, giant robots, burgers, chili-dogs, Mt. Dew, oh and I forgot dwarves and elves, after all of that, the two most awesome things in the world are, you guessed it, Death and Monsters!DeathVMonstersSS01
