Out Now: Boogey Boy: Goon Studios Shines a Bright Light with a New Infinite Runner

On Sep 10, 2014 11:05 am, by Jaymes Carter

Goon Studios, based in Pasadena, California, is a game development studio to follow. Their game Boogey Boy, has jumped into the Play Store. It is a colorful, action-filled, platforming game that will easily draw you into its clutches.

If you were ever afraid of the dark as a child, you will easily identify with the theme behind this game. Goon Studios has taken a mythical creature in the Boogeyman and created a 3D-side scrolling infinite runner that you should try out. Can you escape the Boogeyman?

The Walking Dead Pinball Review: A Decent Attempt At Bringing The Franchise To Pinball Fans

On Sep 04, 2014 6:22 pm, by Justin Nation

Some background: As a life-long fan of video arcades since their beginnings I’m also a tremendous fan of pinball machines. It has only been in the last few years that video emulation of pinball has gotten close to matching the experience. In terms of commercial pinball video games there are two very different camps: On the one hand you have Pinball Arcade that places an emphasis on making reproductions of actual physical machines, on the other you have Zen Pinball that keeps the broad strokes of physical machines in mind but abuses the fact that there are no limitations to what they can do, making only original tables. While, on the whole, I will admit I’m more inclined to enjoy the best converted Pinball Arcade machines there are several Zen Pinball machines I’ve gotten some quality hours with. Rather than have my reviews for these tables go over the merits of the game engines themselves, we’ll assume that the people reading the reviews are familiar with the base games already and are only really interested in a review of just the table itself.

Coming to Android: AiRace Speed from QubicGames

On Sep 02, 2014 8:28 pm, by Jaymes Carter

It is encouraging to hear about how many games are in development for Android devices. At times, they are created for Android and then make their way to iOS. Other times it is the other way around. Every now and then we hear about games that started off on consoles or other handheld devices making their way to the Android gaming community. Such is the case with game developer Qubic Games. They have released more than ten games during their tenure for Nintendo DSi, Wii, 3DS, Wii U, PlayStation Vita and for iPhone and iPad. The game they are currently working on is AiRace Speed.

Badland Review: Much More Than a Pretty Face

On Sep 02, 2014 6:17 pm, by Justin Nation

Though my focus here will be generally pointed at games that fully leverage the stand-out features of the Shield tablet, for now I’m controller-less so I decided to poke around the Tegra Zone in search of a more simply controlled game. Since Badland was the first one I ran into and, hey, it was free, I gave it a quick download and started out knowing absolutely nothing about what I was in for.

Review: Oscura: Second Shadow. A simple, silhouetted side-scroller

On Sep 02, 2014 2:54 pm, by Ryan Ballard

Back before it was trendy, bordering on trite, for games to feature a silhouetted foreground with a colorful background, Oscura was a side-scrolling game that featured that design.  While the original didn’t garner much attention (it’s sitting at 50,000+ downloads despite being a worthwhile play that’s been around for ~3 years), a sequel has been released called Oscura 2: Second Shadow

Zen Studios has released a new table for their Zen Pinball platform which is themed around The Walking Dead franchise. Just like the original games, this new pinball table will actually have moral choices you need to make as your progress through the game. This is done by hitting certain areas in the table to make your choices. This is easier said then done of course.
