]]> 18 Jul 2007 05:47:55 The year is 2188. The city is protected by an organization called "The Peacekeepers League" and everything is swell except for that it's under attack! By a robot army lead by professor Darnacus Damnation!!

This game is an action packed adventure of several long levels (with save feature) and you play as Noitu Love, a young and talented boy, who's purpose it is in life to stop Darnacus and live up to his intercom girl Lori's expectations.

]]> 10 Jul 2007 04:41:13 Storked is about a stork entrusting a very special egg to his flightless pals in the Antarctic. These 4 Penguins must figure out how to successfully and safely roll the Egg to from Point A to Point B in this platform puzzle game. Each penguin has different abilities to help solve the puzzles and treacherous slopes of this kid friendly game. It is a fusion of a lot of ideas inspired by the classic 16-bit era of gaming (Lost Vikings anyone?). See my blog for additional information: http://gnadegames.blogspot.com/search/label/storked

]]> 03 Jul 2007 09:30:52 This is a platform game and tetris combined into one. Press space to switch between placing tetris blocks and climbing up to the portal to the next level. Avoid the cancerous cancers, and careful not to render yourself 2-dimensional with your own tetris block. Win level 10 for the ultimate prize!!!

Definitions of ultimate may vary.

This game was made in just 40 hours for the 9th Ludumdare 48 hour game development competition.

]]> 25 Jun 2007 10:30:22 Mega Man Project X is a flash game based on the 2D classic.

]]> 22 Jun 2007 12:11:10 SocioTown is a 100% web-based 3D MMO. It'll be playable in your browser with no downloadable client required. It utilizes Adobe's Shockwave Player, which most browsers already have installed.

When asked, what does the game closely resemble (because we all need comparisons, right?), I usually say it's an MMO Social Game with a bit of a mix of Nintendo's Animal Crossing and The Sims.

Every building you see in the above screen shots will be inhabited by players and you'll be able to do a variety of activities around town. We're implementing a very intuitive social system that hasn't been done before to our knowledge. I'm personally very excited about this game so far and I can't wait for players to get their hands on it.

]]> 21 Jun 2007 12:37:29 CityScape Battle is an online multi-player, team-based action game. The game takes place in a massively modeled cel-shaded city. In the game you have the ability to fly a jet and land to use stationary gun decks. This game is still in development.

]]> 21 Jun 2007 12:22:06 Made with Microsoft's Game Studio Express by loving fans. This is basically a 2-D version of the 64's Smash Bros. game. The game supports up to 4 players going head to head and has various modes such as: capture the flag, race, deathmatch and more. The game also comes packaged with a level editor so you can make new levels to smash your friends! This game is tremendously fun and is definitely worth a download, especially because the full game is completely FREE!

]]> 16 Jun 2007 12:54:52 The award-winning platform beat-em-up featuring blood, guts, and a charmingly unique sense of humor. Use your trusty, rusty chainsaw to conquer the army of ghouls and monsters, or pick up powerful upgrades to increase the carnage drastically. Features 5 action-packed levels, with original art by Steven Burgess.

What happens on Halloween when the only neighborhood in sight has been built over an indian burial ground and is full of nightmarish creatures? Well, you go to trick or treat there, of course, but not without your assortment of powerful weapons to aid you along the way.

You can either perform a powerful slice attack or hold the chainsaw revving to do minor damage over time. The latter is often not useful unless you know what you're doing or have the super chainsaw upgrade, in which case it will tear through damn near anything.

]]> 13 Jun 2007 08:42:43 The mind-bending, gravity-defying, world-traveling adventure of a lifetime finds Kim Possible and her nemesis, Shego, joining forces when the minds of Dr. Drakken and Ron Stoppable are switched. Can the longtime arch-rivals face new threats together and flip the switch back to normal?

]]> 09 Jun 2007 05:15:30 Trapped inside a pop-up book, Iris must find a way through the maze of each page before time runs out.

]]> 09 May 2007 06:02:05 This is another Spyro game for those people who enjoy the little dragon. In this one, Red is back and being a pain. So Spyro and all his friends, (Hunter, Sgt Bird etc) are back and join forces to take on Red and his army.

There are lots of min-games in this one where you become the other 'Heros' and some of these are the most fun in the game.

As you would expect Spyro learns some new moves and I had a lot of fun playing and finishing this one with my kids.

Highly Recommended.

]]> 14 Apr 2007 03:30:18 The Web site for this game is entirely Japanese, so I don't know much about it beyond it is a futuristic, side scrolling, platformer/shooter with 3D graphics and 2D gameplay. The main character and all the enemies seem to be robotic in nature.

]]> 28 Mar 2007 12:08:46 Metal Warriors is set in the year 2012 and has players controlling and fighting against mecha-like assault suits.

]]> 27 Mar 2007 04:44:05 Paper Chase 2 is a stick figure brawler which takes place on a sheet of notebook paper. Unleash a torrent of deadly combos on your hapless foes in your quest for revenge.

Highlights of PC2 include awesome combos and ripping off enemy heads, legs, and arms and then using them as weapons!

]]> 19 Mar 2007 11:01:30 I was walking in my back yard the other day and wishing I had a wonderland to explore like Calvin and Hobbes. It always seemed like they had miles and miles of forest and adventure waiting for them.
If this game ever gets finished (and I'm going into this with no experience at all, only ambition), it will be an adventure platformer similar to Seiklus and Knytt - though slightly more linear.

This game will be free as it is my tribute to Bill Watterson's work. I hope to have a working demo by June.

"It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...Let's go exploring!"

]]> 18 Mar 2007 09:34:43 The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are obstacles to explore, bits and pieces to collect and puzzles to solve -- requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As players begin to explore, their creative skills will grow and they will be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings -- the first step to sharing them with the whole community.

Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to play.

There's no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learnt by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the gameplay experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like.

When it's ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigWorld community to come and explore their patch -- or can go and explore everybody else's.

]]> 08 Mar 2007 04:29:47 Midnight Mansion is a retro platformer based on games like Montezuma's Revenge, Prince of Persia, and Dark Castle. You play Jack Malone, an adventure hunter, who explores several huge mansions in search of gold at the end. You can't kill anything; you simply avoid the bad guys, while you search for keys that allow you to open doors that lead to new areas. Mansions are filled with traps, puzzles, and secrets.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 12:28:38 Jetpack is a DOS game that was an immediate hit when it was released in 1993, and a cult following grew internationally. The author received a ton of mail and submissions by people creating their own Jetpack levels. The built in level editor is one of the most popular features - over 1000 levels have been created. Some teachers bought Jetpack because they considered the editor to be educational, encouraging their students' creativity.

Jetpack was the top selling game for both publishers that carried it (Software Creations and Impulse Games). Jetpack runs fine on an 8086, and surprisingly well on today's computers!

Jetpack has been made freeware by its author so it is now free to download.

]]> 02 Mar 2007 05:07:48 The Adventures of Batman & Robin for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis is an action game based on the animated tv series.

The Super Nintendo version is an action-adventure platformer in which the player only controls Batman, and follows him to the end of each stage, where a villain is set to appear. However, the style and design of the stages themselves are different between each other, which gives notable diversity to the game.

Some of the more common features in the game is the possibility to equip with different gadgets, such as bombs, x-ray lenses and so on. Some of the gadgets are in some cases essential to complete some stage. There is also the possibility of returning to the Batcave in order to re-equip the gadgets and restart an entire stage with all the lives the players has accumulated to that point (in case the player had lost lives).

The game features passwords, which leaves the player in the last played stage. The passwords also takes count of the numbers of lives remaining and the continues used. These cannot be obtained in the Hard difficulty, which means that the game must be completed from the beginning.

The Genesis version, published by Sega, is an action-adventure platformer where both Batman and Robin must stop Mr. Freeze, who plans to freeze Gotham City. In order to keep the duo busy, he also frees The Joker, Mad Hatter and Two-Face, each one with their own agenda.

The game can be played by two players simultaneouslty, one player with Batman and the other one with Robin. Both characters are identical in terms of playability, and both uses batarangs in long-range attacks, while they use melee atacks in short range.

There are four levels, each one consisting of a straight left-to-right tranverse to the end where the boss awaits. In some levels the game switches to a horizontal shooter, in which the players must control Batwings.

]]> 02 Mar 2007 04:03:32 Mega Man X3 was released in 1995 by Capcom. It was the third game in the Mega Man X sub-franchise and the last to appear on the Super Nintendo. An enhanced version was also released on the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and PC in Japan and Europe in 1996, and the PC version arrived in North America in 1998; the enhanced version included remixed music and anime-style cutscenes. It is currently available in the anthology collection Mega Man X Collection, which includes the first six Mega Man X games and Mega Man Battle & Chase. The PlayStation version of X3, not the SNES version, appears in the X collection. Mega Man X Collection was released for the GameCube and PlayStation 2 on January 10th, 2006.

Like its predecessor, Mega Man X2, Capcom included the C4 chip to allow for some limited 3D graphics and transparency effects. Mega Man X3 was the first game in which Zero is a playable character in addition to X.

Mega Man X3 is an action game where the player is given a selection screen of stages to begin. When selected, the player uses Mega Man X to blast various enemies throughout the level and reach the boss character, where defeating it wins the stage and earns a new weapon for the player to utilize.

The story of Mega Man X3 revolves around a Reploid scientist named Dr. Doppler. In the year 21XX, the threat of the Mavericks had been neutralized thanks to Doppler's technology, which prevented the Mavericks from going berserk. The reformed Reploids had formed an utopia near their new mentor called Doppler Town. It seemed that all was well, until the former Maverick Reploids suddenly reverted and once again began causing trouble. Dr. Doppler was held accountable, and X and Zero were sent out to contain the new threat. They were soon after called back to Maverick HQ, which was under attack by Doppler's forces.

However, the two did not realize that while Doppler was indeed behind the new Maverick threat, someone else was pulling his strings. As if that wasn't bad enough, one of X and Zero's old enemies is back from the dead, ready to take them down.
