@curvestudios 2014 line up; Hands on Impressions - MouseCraft by @CrunchingKoalas

30/4/2014

 
Last night Curve Digital held a little event to showcase three of their upcoming titles. Matt and I both managed to get some hands on time with each of the games. Of the three games which are The Swapper. Titan Attacks and Mousecraft, my favourite by far was the last on the list Mousecraft. We will be bringing you impressions of the other titles but here I will concentrate on a game that's "Development is going grate!"

Okay to get things rolling why Mousecraft?
I am a puzzle fan I may not be the best at them but I love the challenge of trying to outsmart a level. This comes from my early gaming history with the monster that was Lemmings. Mousecraft as the developer mentioned was part of the inspiration for this title so immediately I was intrigued. However instead of copy and pasting the team at Crunching Koalas have put their own stamp on their title.
First off are the actual mice although they are autonomous rodents but they are capable of tricks like jumping single blocks this pretty simple mechanic gives the puzzles an extra dimension The real star of the game though is the way the puzzles are solved, instead of controlling the mice you actually alter the level in order to get your mice to the cheese (the end point). The trailer below gives you some idea of the gameplay although it is rather sped up from the actual way you will play.
I played the game mostly on the Vita and found it to be the best way to play the touch-screen integration worked really well and the game felt perfect for the handheld. Of course with most titles that Curve have a hand in the game will be Cross buy on the Playstation platforms.
Overall this is looking like a great addition to the Curve line up and we will hopefully be bringing you more news and a review in due course.

Football Manager 14; Why make 1 change when a 1,000 would be better.

The hours/days/months of my life that this franchise has eaten up makes for scary reading. The pull of constructive tinkering and trying to outdo the professionals are just two of the reasons that management games continue to thrive.

Sports Interactive are not happy with just making an annual update and this year they have near enough tried to reinvent the wheel.

The list of changes is vast over 1,000 if your counting, with the promise the 2014 will be the most realistic simulation of football management ever released.

The game is due to be released before Christmas of this year. If you pre-order the game from a participating retailer (list can be found followng this link) then you will be eligable for a Beta due to be released around two weeks before the games offical release. Best of all your career will carry over to the full game.
To find out more through the wonder of Social Media you can follow the game on Facebook at this link. 
However is Twitter is more your thing then you can follow the game @FootballManger and Sport Interactive's Studio Director Miles Jacobson directly @milesSI
