Tom Chettoe joins the team down on the farmyard with his first Indie Game Review; Save Toshi for the iPhone and iPad.
'From the makers of Rasta Monkey & Eco Punk (no they’re not a band) comes NiTako’s latest offering Save Toshi DX. A 3D puzzler that will charm you with its soft focus menus and cute main character, and reward you with new outfits and stars for your efforts!
As a big fan of the Angry Birds app (check out our review of the PC version here), I can’t help but draw comparisons with relation to the style of gameplay specifically, destroying scenery to achieve and objective.'
Retro gaming console emulator apps are now welcome on the Apple App Store and can even offer downloadable games.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
