iDroidPlay: Players of the BAFTA nominated iOS hit puzzle game Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint are racking up total playtimes measured in hundreds of hours, that’s far longer than the playtime required to finish even the biggest console games – such as Skyrim, which boasts around 100 hours of content.
IGN:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if a game's free, it's probably not very good - except, as it turns out, that's not the truth at all. Free-to-play is the model of the future for many studios, and some of the best talent in gaming is working on these titles. However, there is a lot of rubbish out there, and the field can be intimidating to navigate - which is why we've done it for you.
Blacklight : Retribution is really good. In beta it was crashy and not optimized, but since open beta and launch its been buttery smooth, for me at least
Hmm, time to make some toast.
Pocket Gamer: Addictive Gold Award-winning iOS puzzler Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint, which was recently nominated for a BAFTA Video Game Award, will soon be updated with a host of new features and content.
Magnetic Billiards indie developer Ste Pickford wonders why video games awards such as the BAFTAs do not support creativity and innovation.
Perhaps the talented and creative indies are overlooked because they don't bother submitting their games?
For those of you that don't know how it works, BAFTA judges aren't tasked with seeking out interesting video games to bestow awards upon.
Games have to be submitted to BAFTA by the developer or publisher, for a fee of around £475 (which includes a £225 registration fee if it's your first time).
