The old school Atari tank battle style of game has been around forever and a day, along with numerous remakes of the game as well. A new game called Dragon vs Robots breathes new life into this old school style of gaming by totally changing up the theme of the original to include dragons and robots.
For those of you who used to play the FPS games from back in the day, you’ll be happy to know that there is a new FPS game on Google Play that inadvertently pays homage to those old school games. In fact CrossGuns 3D has a very Doom-like feel to it, especially when it comes to the visuals for the game.
In the world of mash-up games there really is no end to the possibilities that can come about from mixing multiple genres into one title. Most of the time it works out rather well although there are a few mash-ups that end up being pretty bad. Pinball Block Breaker Craft isn’t a bad mash-up by any means but it certain is one of the more unique ones we’ve seen so far.
