"The Ball is a technically proficient game, but plays more like a storyboard than a final product, much like a film made only by crew members and no director. The concept is solid and appealing, while lacking the mysteries, challenges, and rewards that players crave."
In this weeks Fantastic Neighborhood, Fred covers the Beta release of Electronic Super Joy, New Levels in Rayman jungle run, and expanded Ouya coverage including reviews of Deep Dungeons of Doom, You Don't know Jack, and One Tap Hero.
Fred then hosts a new Let's Play segment, but he may be full of hot air.
Gameclub this week is The Ball.

Mike from D Pad D Bags Says:
The Ball from Teotl Studios here is a first person puzzle game that takes inspiration from Portal. The player is an archaeologist exploring what is assumed to be Mexico who falls into a giant ditch. It just so happens that your colleagues can’t rescue you anytime soon, so they suggest you do some exploring.
This LOOKS awesome,but looks aren't everything. Sad because the potential was definitely there.
no to this game
The trailer caught my interest, but if this is the case I'll wait for the inevitable Steam sale.
