EuroGamer - I'm somewhat of a specialist when it comes to games starring the order Teuthida, an interest that began when IGN reviewed 'Hail to the Chimp' and claimed squids weren't animals (a line subsequently removed without notice). What can I say? You've got to feel sorry for them after that.
Our ink-loving chums are responsible for many fine games. Aside from scene-stealing cameos, there are brilliant shooters like Squid Yes, Not so Octopus (both SYNSOs can be had online, and are highly recommended), the awesome survival horror Night of the Cephalopods, and now it's time for some turn-based strategy with the defiantly plural Squids.
"The Game Bakers revealed to us what prompted the voyage of their critically-acclaimed Squids property to Nintendo platforms. Turns out, bunking with Nintendo helped spark some new ideas in the process."

"Viable internet connections have eluded Cameron and Zachary like the annoying rabbit from Super Mario 64, but that hasn’t stopped Stephen and Bryan from coming out of the woodwork to carry on without them. World of Warcraft is the center of attention this week as they remember dangerous adventures and deadly error messages from Azeroth, but Gothic 3 gets a turn in the RPG limelight as well. If you count The Legend of Zelda as an RPG, than so does it, but it’s not so it doesn’t. But Bryan doesn’t have to putter around with NES games now that his computer has been rebuilt into a colossal frame-rate-increasing monstrosity, and he’s proves this with a smattering of technically radical games including Sonic Generations. Meanwhile, Stephen attends Dizzy’s birthday party in a weed-infested Animal Crossing: Wild World town. He gave Dizzy a fruit beetle. Speaking of weeds, Steam sales have been popping up like them for days, and so of course obligatory joke about suffering wallets."
