If you don’t keep your nose glued to our forums or the various Twitter feeds of game developers, chances are you’ve missed out on these four bits of news that have popped up in the last couple days:
Zenonia 2 was revealed on Gamevil’s Twitter. There’s a thread on our forums with all of the images that have been released so far complete with fans of the original sharing their anticipation with other forum members.
Gangstar had a teaser site for the game with screenshots and video revealed via Gameloft’s Twitter along with announcing that the game will be launched at $6.99 when it is finally released.
Madden 10 for iPhone was reportedly pushed back to September. We still have yet to hear any details on the game, its control method, or anything else outside of knowing that it’s eventually coming to the App Store. When in September it’s going to be released is currently anyone’s guess.
Mad Monkey Studios released another tech demo from their upcoming 3GS-only game project that we covered when it was first announced. We don’t have any more information than that, according to this video the game is going to be “sketch shaded":
The video shows a cool direction for the art style of their upcoming game to be taking, but it’s hard to get too excited over tech demos without having any idea what the final game will even be about.
Great game, great presentation...just like Azkend. They don't wait to ramp up the difficulty as you pretty much need to be chaining matches to survive after about half-way in.
I love this game, but for some reason they left out all the great music that was in the PC version. What gives? The music from the original is really fantastic.
It might be for the same reason Popcap did it for Peggle. I remember hearing somewhere (probably here or on Joystiq) they removed it so that the game could be downloaded over 3G. I would get that but maybe MythPeople should also release the music as a download to be played on the iPod/iPhone (I haven't tested it yet: can you play your music while playing Dragon Portals?)
"die-hard Match-3 gamer"
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but that sounds like an oxymoron to me. Match-3 games fall into the casual genre, do they not? Die-Hard games are not casual.
As others have commented in the main forum thread on this game, I strongly suggest they LOSE the photo hunt aspect as it's just too awkward to control on the iDevices!
I also HOPE they'll add in some form of the Islands Mode from the PC version (this is like Survival Mode but as opposed to being limited to one powerup you'll see all of the non-passive powerups you've unlocked so far)!
I like this game and its $0.99 only. Definitely a must buy.
