A new social and mobile games is heading our way called the Western Story Game. This particular game looks to be a cross-platform social game with a lot of humor, some familiar characters, and an endless story that is made up of other stories. Essentially this is an animated story but you, and everyone else, are part of the story.

I had a Commodore 64 when I was a kid but didn’t get another PC until I was an adult in ‘99. I know for a fact that I missed a lot of great games in the gap between the two. There were games that covered all sorts of genres and play-styles and I missed the chance to play most of them. Luckily, mobile publishers have taken it upon themselves to reissue certain wonderful older titles that I would have never had the chance to play. One of the latest titles I came across in the Play Store is Broken Sword: The Director’s Cut. I do not remember anything about this title, but it did come out in ‘96 during my great computer-less period.
“Eat food, avoid goo, escape the shadowfish.

Up until now, if you used the World of Warcraft Remote services on your Android and iOS device, you could use it partially for free. To access all of the features though, you had to subscribe to the service which ran $2.99 per month. It was an optional subscription you could sign-up for if you felt like you would use all of the features the app and service had to offer instead of what came with just using it for free.

We have mentioned this rumor in the past a couple of times and it now looks as though the rumor could be on its way to becoming true. The rumor is that Rovio has been planning and developing an Angry Birds themed game but instead of focusing on the Birds story, this new game would tell the story from the pig’s point of view.
The names Chillingo and Android don’t often appear in the same article, even after EA bough the company out last year. When they do appear in the same article, the game associated with the article is usually a pretty good one. In this case we have a new title heading our way called Wake Up Buzii! which will be published by Chillingo and is being developed by iFun4All.
We have talked about Peter Molyneux’s upcoming virtual piñata game coming in September a few times already, mostly because of the humor we find behind the entire thing. As we reported last week, the game was delayed from its August 22nd release date to sometime in September due to NASA having an issue with the game’s name being Curiosity. Well Mr. Molyneux has come up with a new name, not very original, but still somewhat new.
