“You are the apprentice of the great Wizard, sent in the unholy lands to recover the Black Rombo from the hands of the evil mage’s castle. In your journey through the lands, you’ll encounter several creatures in evil mage’s service. Do not think twice before sending them to meet their creator; these are damned souls, lost forever in the realm from where the evil mage came and transformed an once healthy place to a dead zone where only the darkest entities enter.” – That’s what the webpage for Rombo by BadSector aka Kostas Michalopoulos (at least I’m assuming his name is that since he’s copyrighted the page this game is on.) Okay so Rombo is a thing and not a person, big deal, Rambo, Rombo, Jimbo, it’s all the same to me. Rombo is a first person “3D” flash game in the vein of the greats like Wolfenstein 3D, or Doom. So essentially you need to find this Rombo.

When you can’t call Rambo, you can call ROMBO!

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Remember back in the day there was a game called Robotron: 2084, yep where you were one of the human remnants and you had to save the last few humans from the robot onslaught. All-out no-holds-barred man-on-robot action! Well now you can relive those glory days with Ultratron by Puppy Games. Only this time the human race was wiped out. You’re the last humanoid battle droid, and now it’s time for payback! All-out no-holds-barred robot-on-robot action! Eat it evil killer robots!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Breakout of the mold!
You ever just wanna break stuff? Of course you have! We all have. That’s why we have Breakout and clones. Breakout was sort of based on Pong (the first commercially successful arcade game). Like if you flipped Pong on it’s side so it’s vertical, and like added bricks, and then removed a player, then you would have Breakout. Over the years it’s had it’s share of imitators, most notable being Arkanoid for the arcade. Arkanoid added several innovations in addition to actually adding graphics, it added things like dropping brick power-ups. You knew someone had to do it for XBLCG. Actually there is at least one more Breakout clone in community games. I’ll probably review that some other time. (Maybe I should have done both of them today, ahh well.) In any case this new one is called bricks4ever, yeah real creative name there, by Running Pixel. I guess if they’ve used all the names you can think of, you tend to grab for whatever will set you apart.
