The wonderful world of box pushing…

PengasPerilSS01

Remember the days when box pushing was fun?  Slide a box here, move there, make sure you don’t trap yourself.  Ahh, the joys of being a warehouse keeper.  What? Those days aren’t over.  You can experience them over and over again.  That’s right be it PC or Mac, XBOX or Playstation, you can have the fun again of playing the box pusher.  You know the game I’m talking about.  Sokoban and it’s millions of variations.  In fact even yours truly had the opportunity to create levels for a 3d Sokoban-style game called Grek’s Puzzle Challenge (the last game on the page).  Originally created in 1980 by some Japanese dude (you can read the Wikipedia entry as linked above), it has come to be loved and played by millions.  It’s no surprise, then, that it should come to Xbox Live Community games, in the form of Penga’s Peril.

My next XBLCG game review centers around a battle in a kitchen sink!  We’ve all been there before.  Before we wash the dishes they are in a constant struggle to see who gets what spot of the sink!  That’s right! Dishes duking it out, trying to see who reigns supreme.  But be careful you don’t get sucked into the drain or it could mean a damaged garbage disposal!

(xblig) Biology Battle – Everybody, into the miniaturizer! – XBLCG

BiologyBattle_SS00 Ever wonder what it’s like to be miniaturized and injected into the body of a rabbit?  Well neither did Lt. Tuck Pendleton as he mistakenly gets injected into hypochondriac Jack Putter!  I mean whoa, flashback to the 80’s!  Where was I?  Oh yeah, miniaturization.  My next XBLCG review is for a game called Biology Battle by Novaleaf Game Studios.  In it you play a nanobot?  What?  You can’t play a nanobot, that’s not really a character?  Well be that as it may you are a teeny, tiny, teensy, weensy, little nanobot.  So small in fact you can fit into a cell!  And that’s just what you do too.  You go into a cell to do some battle!  Some BIOLOGY BATTLE!
