The Bard’s Tale Review: An oldie but a pretty decent game

I missed The Bard’s Tale when it came out in 2004, but did play it a bit through the OnLive service on my PC. I’ve missed a lot of single-player titles, mainly because my normal favorite subject (before getting my first Android, of course) is massively multiplayer titles. I’ve noticed how the number of older titles being brought back to life thanks to mobile devices and the Play market keeps rising. It’s very possible that many of these titles will be seen by a new generation and possibly have more impact than they did originally, thanks in large part to their new, portable nature. I know that I was more impressed with The Bard’s Tale this time around because I was able to hold it in my hand. What would have normally been older looking graphics now look sharp and crisp thanks to the smaller, higher-resolution screen.

Rayman Jungle Run Review – Platforming Done Right

Google Play may not short of auto-running platformers, but Rayman Jungle Run is a welcome addition. Well, a more than welcome addition in fact. Powered by the same Ubisoft engine that Rayman Origins runs on and developed by Pastagames for mobile devices (I’m hungry already), Rayman Jungle Run is the kind of game you immediately appreciate the moment you start playing.

Zaxxon Escape running from the 1980s and into modern times thanks to Sega

For those of you who happen to be arcade bums like myself back in the 1980s and 1990s, where we could have easily paid rent for a permanent residence inside an arcade with the amount of quarters we spent, will be happy to know that the classic Zaxxon arcade game will be time traveling from the past and arriving on our phones and tablets soon as Zaxxon Escape, all thanks to Sega who have decided to resurrect the franchise.
