Ngmoco, famous for making freemium games, and Newtoy, famous for making Words with friends, teamed up and relased “We Rule”. The game is a Farmville clone; you know the game all the people at your office play on the clock, but instead of just farming your “ruling” a kingdom.
The game features over 20 varieties of crops to grow, 50 unique structures to build, and a few other bells and whiles to manage. The game connects with Ngmoco’s Plus+ network so you can connect with your friends (which is an important part of the game). Also since is a freemium game there is plenty of mojo to spend real sash on. Mojo is a magical potion that makes your crops grow faster.
Like Farmville, We Rule is nothing more than a time management game. The only real motivation to keep playing is to make money to create the coolest looking kingdom. Don’t get me wrong, the interface is very well done which does make it enjoyable to play. But if you don’t have a network of friends to play it with expect to get bored with the game in a few weeks.
OMG play this game if you like time management games or the office got wise and blocked Facebook and/or Flash to increase work productively.
OMG don’t play this is you don’t have other friends with iPhones. It’s a lonely game without friends and you may slip in to a deep depression.
Overall I think the game is one of the best time management games on the iPhone. The graphics, interface, and animation really add a lot to this game. I am going to continue playing this game for now but I can’t see me sticking with it for much longer. They say they’re going to be adding more updates soon so I will keep you posted if they add more game play.
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.
