Guess what! There is a new tower defense game coming to the iPhone, its called Cowboys vs Zombies. I know what your thinking, “Really. Your excited for a game that is base on one of the most over played game types in the app store?”
Well the real reason I am excited about this games is I want to see more cowboys in the app store. After playing Red Dead Redemption on my 360 I need a Wild West fix on my iPhone. I hope this game will inspire other app devs to embrace these classic American heroes.
Check out the trailer below to see what the game is about.
As you can see the game is going to be your basic tower defense game but with a different perspective. Zombies will come to attack your town and its up to you to tell your cowboys what buildings to protect and when to fall back and cut your losses. It sounds like from the description of the game, that there will be boss battles and cowboy upgrades. Which is all standard for any good tower defense game.
This game may surprise me and get me excited about tower games again. I guess we will have to wait and see. I’m Not sure if I will buy this one right off the bat but I will keep my eye on it. I really just hope this is the first of many new cowboy themed games.
Does anyone remember the show “Super Dave”? It was a fictional show about a Stuntman that had a verity show. At the end of each show he would do an outrageous daredevil stunt and would always end up nearly killing himself doing it. M-Digital Media’s soon to be release game, Daredevil Dave: Motorcycle Stuntman reminds me of that show, which isn’t a bad thing.
From what I can tell form the trailer, the game is based on a stuntman going on a career of progressively harder jumps. If he fails, he must come up with the money to pay for a hospital visit.
Features:
Career Mode with 10 unique and challenging jumps
Injury Mode: See how high of a hospital bill you can
Ragdoll physics, as well as shark attacks, deadly helicopter blades, and fire
Jumps have random elements so you never play the same game twice
Global leaderboards
Multiple views including TV cameras, and an on-the bike camera
Adjust your ramp-tilt and speed to land each jump successfully
The developer say the game should be out sometime this month. We will keep you posted.
Treehouse Ltd. just released some early screenshots of their forthcoming game, 1951, a top down dogfight game set in WWI. The game will use both tilt and gesture controls to help keep the interface clean and you in the action.
From what I can tell from the screenshots this is going to be a great looking game. The game will also have 3d graphics with changing weather conditions.
It reminds me of Mini Squadron [itunes link="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minisquadron/id339514220?mt=8&uo=4" title="2.99" text="(2.99)"] with better graphics and a different camera view. Since that game is a blast to play I am sure this one could be too.
The developer says the game will feature advanced AI and some light RPG elements. The game will have two different single play modes, wave and survivor. It will also have two-player mode via Wi-Fi.
There is no word on a releases date and from what I can tell this is an early announcement. We will let you know as soon as more information become available.
