It looks like Audiosurf started a small game revolution. Before a few years I knew just about DDR and Guitar Hero, now you can find even tens of flash musical games. And one of them is Music in motion. Not a very original name:o)
A few years ago I was a big fan of trance music and Dejv argued all the time how the hell can I listen something like that. Even if my musical taste is a lot different now, for a while I don’t have problem with this kind of music. If I had, I think I would hate this game:o) So if you have problems with electronic music, this absolutely isn’t game for you.
What it’s all about? Menu is very original. Even in it you control your character. If you go right with it (use your cursor keys, you start a game and music starts to play. Small boxes start falling from above and the screen starts to slide right. You must jump and go fast enough in order not to get out of the screen. In other levels you must take a look at boxes in order not to get covered with it. And you can find many other ideas.
Actually everything is scripted, so it’s nothing like Audiosurf where levels are generated from your music. But it doesn’t matter. It’s fun for a while…at least until you get bored from almost same music again and again:o)
And because I don’t think that the small article about Diablo III is enought for today, here’s a small flash game for you, that are nor interested in bigger games. It’s called Nanotube and you’ll need to use just two keys on your keyboard to play it.
Principle is absolutelly easy but catchy. You must control a wheel with colored parts. Rotate it using your cursor left and right and catch same-collored balls.
First level is quite easy - there’s only one color but you’ll see that everything gets a lot harder in other levels. Great thing is, that if you fail you don’t need to start from the first level. Of course if you want to get bigger score, it’s better to start from beginning.
In the end the games shows you your performance rating. Are you better than a floppy disk?:oD
OK, I’m sure you already know, but why not write just a small note about it. I can’t say that I’m some kind of Diablo maniac, but I still can remember how I used to watch my neighbour playing first Diablo and how I bought Diablo 2 and spent a lot time with it. Actually I’m thinking about starting it again and finally finish it.
Because I’ve got holidays now, there’s finally more time for playing games. And because there was a small hill of games, for what I didn’t have time before, I picked the first one and installed it. It was called Rogue Trooper. And now after two days it’s all over. I finished it.
Rogue Trooper is a fantastic third person shooter very similar to Gears of war. Of course it doesn’t look so good even if it came in 2006, too, but even so it’s fantastic.
This game is inspired by a same called comic which I didn’t read and haven’t heard about it before. You’re a blue skinned soldier in here, but don’t worry, you’re no Smurf but a genetic trooper:o)
What is so great about this game? It’s very fast, there’s a lot of epinephrinaemia and of course I think, that for casual gamers is good, that it’s quite short. It’s not very hard too. You can collect points and buy ammo, medpacks and other stuff and I’ve never had too few of it. A was able to finish it in about 8-9 hours at a normal difficulty. In addition, in what other game you can talk with your helm, bag or gun?:oD
I wrote about my hands on experience with Spore Creature Editor few days ago and I also want to share with you my own creature. Do you also create any creature? Share it with us and post link to comments.
Poor mouse cursor. Somebody’s always trying to destroy it or even eat it. There are so many videos about it, but I think I’ve never seen a game like this although I’m sure, there must be many of them. So here’s one.
It’s very easy, actually, so I don’t think there’s much to say. It comes from Japan, so I don’t think you’ll be surprised that this game is not in English. But don’t worry. System is very easy. You just need to run before sumo-spider-whatever creature that tries to catch your cursor. In the further phases he’ll even use some weapons, because otherwise it would be too easy. And your task is just to save yourself as long as you can.
To play this game just click the first japanese sign.
We are waiting for Spore for long time and finally we could see small piece of final title. EA released creature editor for this game and it is awesome. I was little bit nervous about quality of this game due all of these date changes, but all worries are gone.
You can download small demo (around 150 MB) from EA website and another good news: it works well on older computers: I ownAthlon XP 1800+ and 512MB Ram and everything works smooth and everything is quick. Good job EA.
In the trial version you can create your own creature from variety of “components”, you can also browse and edit creatures created by Spore creators and I was very surprised by huge variety of customization. There are also some kind of testing ground where you can test your pet and play with them. You can also create video from this part of game and upload it to youtube in one click. I suspect huge flood of these videos on youtube next days and you can also find many of them today.
Just test this game, downloading and installing time is very short and it is worth. You can also watch behind the scenes of spore video here on blog.
