Player Attack: There are some new faces onboard Train Conductor, with Australian developer The Voxel Agents introducing new Cute Trains to the mix. A new gameplay mode does away with traditional trains, replacing them with the happy dolphin, the cuddly koala, the grumpy snake, the colourful rosella, and my favourite - the sleepy platypus.
John Bedford (Modojo): Spy vs Spy gets a sneaky price drop, along with Jeff Minter's Minos. Check out Modojo's guide to the best bargains on the App Store this Tuesday July 31st.
This week on Player Attack, EA lets the cat out of the bag, announcing Battlefield 4 a little earlier than anticipated. Developers come out in support of OUYA, while other indies suffer at the hands of Microsoft. An 18 year old dies following a marathon gaming session in Taiwan, games make splashes in Hollywood for a number of reasons and iPhone gamers meet Lili and play with cute trains. Steam is coming to Linux, JoJo gets another bizarre adventure, and Battlefield 3 makes sure it's not overshadowed by those sequel stories.
Celebrating all that is best in life – or, at least, the best in Australian independent, artistic and creative development – the Freeplay Independent Games Festival is returning for 2011, and it’s just opened its doors for awards submissions!
