Mayhem Intergalactic – or – Stuff blows up in space!

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Our next banner drawing entrant is Inventive Dingo with Mayhem Intergalactic, a turn-based space-themed strategy game.  Your goal is to conquer all the planets before your enemies do by sending ships to attack other planets.  Firstly I’d like to say this is pretty fun, like the other similar planet-conquering indie strategy games out there.  It’s not really hard to learn as you’re basically pointing and clicking to send ships to your own or enemy planets.  You can also upgrade your planets to produce more ships.  If you want to know more, please continue reading.

Announcement: Winners of the Indie Flux Banner Drawing.

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

The winners are in the banner now. Koonsolo with Mystic Mine, glpeas with Carcophony, and Vacuum Flowers with Star Guard! I’ve decided I would leave them up there indefinitely (that means I may change them after a reasonable period, or I may just leave them there).

Because there were so few entrants, I’ve decided to give everyone who entered a review. The link to each review will be in this post, and the post will stay up until the end of January 2010. Please check back soon if you entered to see your review.

Thanks to all who entered.

Update: I’ve decided to extend this until the end of February, since I didn’t get this last one (EUO on the last line) till just today February 6th 2010. So these links will be up another month.

Ben Jordan Case 6 – Scourge of the Sea People

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Two 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:BenJordan6SS01

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.
