Square Enix announces The World Ends with You: Solo Remix out now for Android

Picture
Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announced that The World Ends with You®: Solo Remix is now available to download from the Google Play™ Store for Android™ devices.

The World Ends With You: Solo Remix, the mobile version of the critically acclaimed action RPG, brings players back to the streets of Shibuya as Neku with new tracks and new social gameplay elements specifically designed for mobile players.

■ Story
A boy named Neku wakes up in a crowded intersection of Shibuya in the heart of Tokyo – alone and unaware of how he got there. Then, he receives a text message: “Clear this mission...or face erasure.” With that, Neku is thrust into a life-or-death game that sends him scrambling down streets paved with one riddle after another.

■ Enjoy quick, satisfying and intuitive battles
Activate combat abilities, or “psychs,” with simple touch commands like tapping, slashing, and dragging. Control Neku and his partner on the same screen and take the combat up a notch, and boost item drops in battle with the revamped Fusion system.

■ Redrawn art and HD display support
Enjoy the game in full HD. Art and animation across the game has been redrawn for this release, making combat a beautiful experience.

■ The ultimate soundtrack: 60 songs
Composer Takeharu Ishimoto’s complete soundtrack is included in the game with high-quality audio and full vocals, including remixes and new songs.

■ Profile sharing
Exchange profiles with other players, and their avatars will appear in the streets of Shibuya! If friends have Twitter accounts, their avatar will think their latest tweet, and players can receive free items for every trade!

■ Deep replay value
Finish the main story to unlock a bonus chapter, more quests and items to find, new combat challenges, and secret reports that further flesh out the story.

■ Explore a living, breathing city
Neku’s sprawling world is based on the real-life Shibuya in Tokyo. Visit real locations and absorb some real Japanese culture through a hip fantasy lens.

Up, Down, Left, Right is an endless action puzzler – out now for Android and coming soon for iOS

10/6/2014

 

The “bastard child of Papers, Please and Super Hexagon” released for free

Picture
The rules could not be any more straightforward: tap Up, Down, Left, Right in time to a simple beat.  But these instructions deliver a surprisingly complicated action puzzler which has been described by Guardian writer Steven Poole as "a rhythm-action Stroop Test."

A Stroop Test is often used in clinical investigation to measure selective attention, cognitive flexibility and processing speed by asking participants to read out colours written in different inks. Up, Down, Left, Right introduces the concept of routine which is then mixed on the fly to create a fast-paced, absorbing high-score game.

Up, Down, Left, Right challenges players to maintain a simple beat – roughly one every half second – tapping in the sequence Up, Down, Left, Right on a simple keyboard. As play progresses, blocks fall from the top of the screen at a steady pace. These blocks will change the sequence by replacing one key with another – keeping three as normal.  Failure to conform to the beat immediately resets the score.

Up, Down, Left Right is games industry veteran and One Life Left co-presenter Simon Byron’s first videogame.

“I adored how Papers, Please played with the concept of routine, slightly tweaking your instructions day by day, and I loved Super Hexagon for making low scores fashionable,” says Simon Byron, developer, Up, Down, Left, Right. “So in a sense, Up, Down, Left, Right is the bastard child of both, disrupting a rote task – but doing so very quickly. Once players get the mechanic – which is pretty tricky to describe, but is worth persevering with – I’ve found that nothing becomes more important than proving your place on the Leaderboard. I’m genuinely excited about opening the contest up to all Android owners."

Up, Down, Left, Right is now available from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.byronic.udlr for free. An iOS version will be available soon.

Before there was Mass Effect Bioware were busy delving into the Forgotten Realms in search of adventure and they struck gold with the Baldur's Gate series. For many this was their entry point into RPG's and the memory of this game has remained a constant source of frustration that the series was never brought up to date.
(The above may just be me (Paul), but I love the Forgotten Realms Books with the Dark Elf Trilogy being my favourite series. So the Baldur's gate games naturally fit into my love for the world).
So it is with baited breath that I await the 15th of November to arrive when (as long as my new PC has arrived) I will get the chance to play the enhanced version of the game. To tied many like me over we have a few screens and a link to the Beamdog Soundcloud page where you can listen to some wonderful audio while you go about your day.

Following the success of its initial launch on iPhone & iPad earlier this summer, CHAMP MAN is back and bigger than ever, with a brand new 2013/14 Season Update, including all of the latest transfers from the Summer transfer window. Additionally, the fully updated game is now available on Android devices, so even more aspiring football managers can join in the fun. Best of all, CHAMP MAN is free, so if you fancy yourself as the follow-up to Fergie, or the second coming of “The Special One”, you can jump into the action today without spending a single penny!

Batman; Arkham Origins is going mobile.

14/10/2013

 
At this point I do not think there will a platform that is not getting attention from the upcoming Batman Arkham franchise (well maybe not the Ouya). This is due the announcement over the weekend during NYCC of an upcoming Free to play title for mobile devices. Initially launching on the iOS platform during the full game's release and later to be followed by the Android version.
The trailer below shows some of the graphics and it is looking pretty good at this juncture, for a free add on to the franchise this could well be worth a download.

CALL OF DUTY: Ghosts Clans Trailer, introduces Cross Platform clans among other changes

11/10/2013

 
The highlight of the video for me at least is the cross platform nature of the clans. This will help to build communities and is a step in the right direction. But watch the video to see what your highlights are,

James Pond is back in a Codename Robocod reboot.

21/9/2013

 
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, and just hearing the name James Pond makes me miss my old Sega Mega Drive.

Well the folks at System 3 the most successful independent publisher in the UK, are bringing the underwater agent to pretty much every format imaginable from Android to the Vita and the next gen consoles. The mobile platforms will just get a straight conversion from the retro classic. The handhelds console and PC will be receiving a whole new reimaging of the classic game.
Launch is slated for early 2014, hopefully my licence (to kill) will be ready by then.
