Techtorial: Amazon finally opened its Holiday Toy List for the year giving quick discounts to video games and other items.
Ginx:One day, someone will craft a movie tie-in game that is fantastic rather than just fantastically awful. Until then, it seems we’re destined to put up with uninspired offerings like WayForward’s rather half-hearted Smurfs 2. Apparently, Smurf 2’s storyline loosely follows that of the movie. So just in case you haven’t seen it, our story kicks off when token chick-smurf Smurfette gets kidnapped by series nemesis Gargamel (GAR-GAH-MEL) and his goth-looking Naughties. It’s up to you and Team Smurf to get her back, following an unelaborate series of platform levels and collecting collectibles along the way. We’d love to tell you more, but there isn’t all that much to say. You’ll navigate Papa, Grumpy, Clumsy, Vanity and co through a myriad of different but ultimately boring backdrops until you eventually rescue her, but thankfully, that shouldn’t take long.
With children now overcome with Smurf-fever, a movie tie in game has been released to coincide with the most recent movie. The surprise is, its actually good!
