Another banner entrant another day another asteroids clone. This one entitled Meteors from Platymuus Software. Who hasn’t played some variant of Asteroids? No really who hasn’t because when I find you I’m going to come to your house and punch your lights out! Okay maybe turn your lights off. Literally like flip the switch which will teach you to not play Asteroids. Wait that didn’t turn out right, we WANT you to play Asteroids at some point in your life. THE Asteroids – only one of the defining games of the last century. One in which an indie game company made a similar game called Debris and got caught up in a lawsuit by Hasbro who then owned Atari and was suing anything that moved, story is here. Anywho, Meteors is another Roidlike (no not Roguelike, that’s another genre entirely) and we will see just what it is like after the the break.

Friday, December 18th, 2009Okay I have some good news and some bad news about this Ben Jordan game from Grundislav Games. The good news is that this is not the last Ben Jordan game. The bad news is that this game is the last one that has been completed which means we have to wait for the actual last game concerning Ben’s eighth and final case, which will also be bad news for Ben Jordan fans because we love these games so much. So without further ado… “It’s Christmas Eve in Rome. What should be joyful becomes a tragedy as a priest is murdered in cold blood. Ben receives a call from the man accused of the crime, begging him to go to Rome and clear his name. Seeing this as a chance to prove his career choice to his disapproving family, Ben calls up his friends and starts another investigation. Some lives will be lost…”

Ben Jordan Case 6 – Scourge of the Sea People
Thursday, November 12th, 2009Two words. John Hammond. How they managed to rope in Professor Hammond from Jurassic Park into this adventure is beyond me. They must have “spared no expense”. Don’t believe me, here’s the screenshot to prove it:
Since I took up all that room for this screenshot, let me just briefly sum up my opinion of Ben Jordan’s sixth case, in a word, great. The full review after the jump.
