]]> 04 Oct 2007 06:09:28 Progress Quest Progress Quest is a next generation computer role-playing game. Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest's very familiar gameplay.

Progress Quest follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG's.
]]> 26 Jun 2007 12:02:47 Gaygate: EEP This is an online FPS game based on pure humor. But the name doesn't mean we are gay, the game is just for gay gags and stuff.
The story is: One day some students set up two forces, the Gay force and the Victim force. Then they battle.
We cannot let out any form of information for it will spoil a lot of things.
The game is basically a giant interactive humor shooting gag.

Created by the EEP students of Bodin 3, Thailand.

The game is still in concept phase and is far from finished.

Please stop voting the anticipation so low. As an explanation. The concepts are just 1 minute jobs! Don't judge the game for this stuff. Thanks.
]]> 23 Jun 2007 10:51:42 Tetrageddon Although the controls take on the basic "pentomino" controls (Up, Down, Left, Right, Space for "drop", and Q to submit your high-score), the game-play takes a very unusual spin that tickles the "nonsense" nerve. You are presented with a quiet city scene where you control heaps of rubble dropped from the sky by a tiny alien (Minibyte), who decided to "pick on the big people" by planting his "Portable Entertainment System" (a giant crane) over Earth. The goal of the game comes in three tiers: to score by squishing people, play pentomino, and challenge your reflexes as blocks fall at random speeds. The traditional set of blocks are mixed with "surprise blocks" which you have to quickly find a place for in the grid. Even the individual block tiles are purposefully vague and hard to distinguish to add to the chaos. The game is very challenging to ones reflexes. The goal is to keep your grid under control as long as possible so that you can continue scoring on pedestrians. Only those with quick fingers can survive.

But one day his best friend George gets kidnapped, sucked into an alternate reality by a mysterious villain! Now, Sinister Spy must go on a quest across time and space and alternate realities to get his friend back and save the world.

This game will be episodic, digitally distributed over seven months with seven episodes, the first being free and the rest being $6-$10 (an absolute price will be decided on closer to release). It plays like a classic LucasArts adventure, cartoony and humorous with outrageous (but logical!) puzzles and 3rd-person point-and-click gameplay.

What makes it unique is the amazing depth of story and characters, the humor injected into every bit, the stunning 3D backgrounds and locales, and the classic adventure gameplay we never seem to find in newer games.
]]> 07 Apr 2007 07:49:30 Strange Adventures In Infinite Space (from http://www.digital-eel.com/sais/):

"In the 22nd century, colony ships were programmed to search for earthlike planets along trajectories calculated to visit stars with the best likelihood of habitable worlds. One such ship with its crew and passengers in cryostasis traveled over 2300 light years before a suitable planet was found.

Hope is a temperate world located in the Glory system on the edge of a vast nebula some refer to as the Purple Void. The nebula is unique in that it contains many unusual star types and other peculiar phenomena.

Over 100 years have passed since the colonists first arrived. It is a new beginning of deep space exploration. Technology has improved and mankind is no longer dependent on slow cryoships and robot probes. This is the setting of Strange Adventures In Infinite Space.

  • ***********

    • Sail the high sea of stars in your own deep space exploration vessel. Discover exotic star systems; seek out new technologies, artifacts and lifeforms; boldly blow up stuff where no one has blown up stuff before!

    SAIS is different every time it is played. Stars, planets, black holes, nebula mass, alien patrols, items, lifeforms and other encounters are randomized for each new Strange Adventure."

    --

    Strange Adventures, or SAIS as commonly known is based around the idea of "bite-sized gameplay" where an individual game may only last a few minutes, allowing a player to have a complete experience in time period that would usually render play sessions of most games useless. The interface is smooth, the visuals pleasing, the atmosphere light (no pun intended) and the gameplay simple, replayable, and designed as the epitome of a Casual game.

    SAIS was a finalist in the 2003 Independent Games Festival and received numerous accolades from various press sources.

    You Don't Know Jack: the show where high culture and pop culture collide!


    You Don't Know Jack is a series of quiz show-inspired computer games which combine trivia and comedy. The games are known for their humor and challenge, as well as simple presentation. The games rarely use graphics, relying heavily on voice acting and text.

    The games have recently been revived at the YDKJ official website, where new episodes are released every weekday. These are developed in Flash and are available to play for free within your web browser.

    ]]>     26 Mar 2007 11:13:20     Thousand Arms Thousand Arms was a great Japanese RPG that never gained much of a following in North America. Combining the role playing genre with the humour of harem anime (series such as Love Hina, To Heart, or Tenchi Muyo) and gameplay elements from dating sims, the resulting game is an oddly compelling and highly entertaining title.

    The story follows the adventures of Meis Triumph, a "spirit blacksmith" who can make magical weapons with the aid (and love) of a girl. Opposing Meis and co. are the Dark Acolytes, a group of robots and cyborgs bent on finding the legendary Sacred Flames and bringing chaos to the world.

    The game differentiates itself from other Japanese RPG ports of the time with its use of voice acting. While most RPGs today feature a large amount of voice acting, at the time few RPGs included it. As well, the Japanese themes "Depend on You" and "Two of Us" by Ayumi Hamasaki were both included in their entirety.

    Another thing that made the game unique was the combat system. At any given time, only one protagonist and one antagonist could actually fight directly. However, up to two characters on each side of battle could contribute through use of items or magic.

    In The Mole, The Mob, and The Meatball (the followup to Sam & Max: Situation: Comedy) the duo finds out that a mole investigating local mob activity has gone silent, possibly turning rogue in the process. To investigate, Sam and Max must become made men themselves, infiltrating Ted E. Bear's Mafia Free Playland and Casino from the inside.

    In Situation: Comedy (the followup to Sam & Max: Culture Shock) Sam & Max must infiltrate a daytime talk show gone bad. Myra Stump, "the daytime hawk of TV talk," has kidnapped her audience and forced them to stay in the studio on the air for days, giving them free gifts and stern but motherly lectures against their will. To make it stop, Sam and Max must work their way through the local TV studio, starring in a series of nearly failed sitcoms, talent contests, quiz shows, and more along the way to prove themselves worthy of a spot on Myra's interview couch.

    Culture Shock, the first episode in a six-episode "season" of Sam & Max games that Telltale is putting out, centers largely around the neighborhood surroundingSam & Max's office. Three washed up former child stars have been seen defacing the streets with propaganda for a self-help tape called "Brady Culture's 'Eye-Bo' Occular Fitness," and Sam & Max decide to put a stop to it.
    ]]>     23 Jan 2007 04:50:54     Space Quest Collection Roger Wilco. Ladies man, hero, man about town, Janitor.

    If you've ever touched adventure games back in the late 80s you'll know about the brilliant work that Sierra did with the genre. Sadly, those days are long gone. However someone did something right and released the Space Quest Collection.

    Contained on the DVD are episodes 1 to 6 of Space Quest, all of which follow our intrepid janitor hero as he gets into one (PUN)messy situation(/PUN) after another.

    The games are all designed with the standard Sierra adventure game engine(s): AGI (SQ2), SCI (SQ1 VGA, SQ3, SQ4, SQ5). Space Quest 1, 4, 5 and 6 all use the later icon driven interface whilst 2 and 3 use the classic text parser to direct our gallant mop jockey.

    The brilliant use of nerd (i.e. sci-fi, computer, etc...)humour blends perfectly with the game play/puzzles. The outlandish situations, and locales will remind you of less formal science fiction movies/tv shows as will the many pot shots at the established sci-fi franchises such as Star Wars, Star Trek and Aliens.

    If you like aliens, if you like adventure games and if you like mops then I highly recommend picking up the Space Quest collection.
