Push Square: "The news that Laughing Jackal’s excellent ungulate muncher Hungry Giraffe is stretching onto PlayStation Vita had our stomachs growling louder than a cake connoisseur in a posh coffee shop last week, so we just had to reach out to the Essex-based developer in order to grill them about the upcoming re-release. In between bites of cheeseburgers and French fries, we exchanged words with community manager Ross Brierley, who touched upon Mecha Giraffes, microtransactions, and bowls of delicious ramen."
Sometimes you just want to bury your face into a burger, or tear into a taco. Out on the African savanna, a Hungry Giraffe feels your pain. A 20 foot tall, 1200kg animal like the giraffe needs to chow down on tons of food each day just to stay alive, and now you can help achieve that on your Vita.
We get to grips with Laughing Jackal's remake for the PS Vita. Is it worth another look?
Pocket Gamer - In-app purchases, eh?
Whether you're a fan of paying to unlock features from within a game or not, there's no doubt that this payment model needs to be carefully employed so that it doesn't become intrusive or break the immersion.
Take Hungry Giraffe. On PSP it was a wonderful eat-'em-up. On PS Vita it's drowning in pleas for cash, and the main spectacle is completely destroyed as a result.
