dead santa-spooky spirits

The latest touch friendly puzzle game app, Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! is now available via the iTunes app store, following the recent launch by developers Innogiant in conjunction with Legendo Entertainment.

Developed by the handheld specialists at newly founded Innogiant, Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!!, will have players traveling the world, capturing  runaway spirits in various fun and exciting game modes designed for puzzle fanatics and casual players alike.

Having fallen asleep on their watch and lost the Spookies, Becky and Tim are banished and risk losing their spirit warden jobs unless they manage to recapture these pesky ghosts.

The unfortunate duo must search haunted locations on Earth to track down the Spookies including the Sphinx of Egypt, a Haunted House in England and an abandoned crypt in Finland featuring none other than Dead Santa himself.

Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! offers a unique twist on the classic falling block and “match-2” gameplay format. In the game, players build and expand stacks of Spookies in any direction and in any amount.

Three Game Modes:

• In the Panic Mode, players must clear each level by catching an appropriate amount of Spookies before the screen overfills.
• Puzzle Mode is a relaxed mode with no stress – players must outsmart the Spookies’ clever puzzles and beat them in their own game using only a limited number of blocks.
• Eternity Mode is a Tetris-inspired exhaust mode that just keeps going for as long as players can keep it at or reach the max-score of 9,999,999 points (that’s A LOT of Spookies to catch!).

Touch Controls:

• Swipe the screen to control the game, left and right selects blocks, up swaps them and down drops them!

Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! – Trailer

Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! can be downloaded from the Apple App Store via iTunes or directly from compatible handsets and costs $1.99 USA, £1.19 UK or €1.59 Europe.

Battlefield 1943

Battlefield 1943 is a new online multiplayer game released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 through Xbox Live and PSN.

Battlefield 1943 adds to the collection of Battlefield games which includes Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield: Bad Company which was released last year.

Battlefield 1943 allows up to 24 players to play online in one match. From the title screen you are allowed to enter a match through; quick match (places you in a random game), Private match (create your own game and invite friends to join you) or Battlefield 1943 is built around the same online game play and style as Bad Company with a few adjustments. It uses the same scoring system as bad company, but a new style is added including fantastic graphics and beautifully designed surroundings.

Battlefield 1943 screenshot

Whilst playing you are either USA or Japan.

The only game mode you can play is conquest the idea of the game is to capture and hold the majority of the flags; there are five flags on each map. Capturing flags gives your team a new spawn point with vehicles so you can travel to other parts of the map.

Capturing flags also gives you points which contribute to your overall score. In order to win the game the opposing team must run out of reinforcement tickets. The amount of reinforcement tickets available for both teams are indicated by the two bars at the top of the screen every time a killed soldier “respawns” , one of the tickets are used. Another way to lower the amount of reinforcement tickets the enemy has to capture and hold three or more bases in the game.

There are three maps available to be used in the conquest game mode, these include: Wake Island, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. On each of these maps there are cars, tanks, boats and planes. These vehicles can all aid you in capturing flags as they provide a faster transport than running or swimming. Cars can hold up to three players, tanks can hold two, boats can hold five and a plane can only take one. When in a plane you can voyage all over the island (, don’t go into trees or buildings as you will die losing ten points for suicide). Planes can drop bombs and you can use two guns. If you want to get out of the vehicle you can jump or you can use a parachute to get to the ground safely.

Now we move onto Battlefield 1943 weapons.

You choose one weapon class at the start of a match and every time you die and then respawn you can choose again. Enemies drop a bag when killed, and it stays there for a while, if you want to you can pick up this bag and your weapon class changes to what the enemy had. In the game you have an unlimited supply of ammo which is a very helpful feature, for secondary weapons you must wait a few seconds though.

In the game there are three weapon classes which you can choose from, they are; Rifleman, Infantry and Scout. Rifleman gives you a semi-automatic rifle, rifle grenades, two grenades and a knife. Infantry gives you a sub-machine gun, a rocket launcher, two grenades and a wrench. The wrench; which is used as the melee weapon to kill enemies with can also be used to repair damaged vehicles. The final class Scout gives you a scoped rifle, a pistol, three satchel charges and a knife.

The aim of the game is to get kills but doing this will also earn you points, and points are what you need to rank up. Accumulating a certain amount of points unlocks the next level. The higher you get the more points you will need to level up.

Now you can play air superiority on the final map coral sea. This game mode is completely different from the rest of the game. In this game mode you are not allowed on land. Everyone is in a jet and you must work as a team to shoot down enemy fighter jets and claim air superiority. The only way to win is to take control of the sky and stay in control until the enemies reinforcement tickets run out.

The game allows you to earn 12 trophies. The trophies are all fairly simple to collect including a very easy gold. Two trophies are unlocked by playing 30 and 100 matches due to its addictive game play you’ll have it in no time.

This is definitely a game I would recommend, its addictive online multiplayer action has kept me playing for hours on end. The game is definitely worth purchasing if you are a fan of the battlefield collection or just a fan of shooters. I would give this game a 90% rating as it is very good. My only criticism is that there are only four maps so maybe additional map packs could be added in the future.

De Blob Mobile Game Review

De Blob is fighting to keep Chroma City full of life and colour.

To do so he must stop the evil INKT robots from draining the city of every last drop of vibrant colour and defeat the evil INKT Corporation.

Starting the De Blob mobile game, you will need to undertake some ‘Blob Training’.  This will show you all the things you need to know to fight and destroy the evil INKT Corporation robots whose goal is to erase all the colour from Chroma City.

Your role is to put the colour back into the buildings by finding paint, covering yourself with it and then splashing colour all over the buildings. As well as basic colours you are also able to blend colours by mixing two together to create colours you  can’t find naturally such as green, purple and brown.

Some of Chroma City’s buildings are very large.  The bigger the building the more points are available. But you must be a certain size and colour to completely cover them.

You can destroy your enemies from the evil INKT Corporation by locking onto them and squashing them. You can also destroy INKT vehicles,  but to do this you have to be a ‘Size 4′, the maximum paint size.

But be careful! If an enemy touches you losde your own colour and turn to black.  While you are ‘colourless’ be careful not to touch any coloured buildings or you will erase the building’s colour and lose yourself points.

De Blob Mobile Game screenshot

To get rid of the black colour you will need to find the nearest fountain or water supply and wash it off  so as colour returns to grey. By going in water you can also reduce your size this can prove helpful if you want to travel through a narrow passageway.

‘In Revolution’ is the story mode in which to play the main game.

There are four different areas (Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Government) each containing four ‘blocks’ or levels which increase in difficulty as the game goes on.  By completing levels and areas you will unlock the next stage.

In each block there is a score limit which must be reached to open the exit gate.  A time limit is also set.

Furthermore, there are missions within each block that if completed will reward you with extra points and time bonuses.

With each block you can collect ‘block stars’.

In De Blob there are five to collect with each block:

Green Star- Obtained by completing the block

Blue Star- Colour 100% of buildings

Red Star- Complete all available missions

Orange Star- Complete the block in under the Orange star time (indicated before the level)

Purple Star- Complete the block with a greater score than the Purple star score (indicated before the level)

De Blob is a cool game to play with good graphics and colour; and the gameplay is fast too.  This mobile version works well; and I would recommend it to anyone.

The game is suitable for all ages.

Playboy Games Pool Party – mobile game review

Playboy Games Pool Party – mobile game review

The idea of Playboy Games Pool Party is to attract guests to your pool party by completing missions in a set of mini-games.

There are three pool parties to choose from:  Daytime, Evening and Night Party.  The level of difficulty increases with each game, with Night Party being the hardest to complete. To unlock each Playby Pool Party you must successfully complete the previous pool party.

In each of the three pool parties, there are four mini-games to play – Water Balloon Hoops, Pool Jumping, Flying Disc and Bull Riding.  All mini games are hosted by a Playmate of the Month.

In the mini-games you must complete six missions.  To unlock each mission you must pay a required amount of Party Points which can be collected in Free Play Mode. The cost rises for each mission and pool party.

There are different modes in which to play Playboy Games Pool Party on your mobile phone.

Versus is where you can challenge your friends to play against you.  Whoever collects the most party points in alternate rounds, wins. In the Versus mode you can choose to play a Championship or Competition.

In the Championship mode you only play each of the mini-games, once.  But in Competition mode you play only one of the mini-games for a set amount of rounds.

In the Playboy Pool Party mini-games, you have your own playmate.  This is your character throughout the game. Once your playmate is selected from the main menu you can customise your character.

At the start of the game there are only a few things you can use but by working through the game and completing missions, you unlock things to allow you to customise your playmate.

The game itself is fairly simple, easy to play, and enjoyable without being at all taxing.  Clean harmless fun to while away a journey or two.
