This site hasn’t been active in a long time, due to University work where I do Games Computing. Now that my first year exams are over I’ve taken to develop a game or games over the holiday. Here’s a look at Project Conquer.
Any comments on here or the YouTube video will be taken into heavy consideration due to its early development. A trello page for the game is currently private but will be made available soon. Maybe I should get one for the Site as well to increase my activity.
Enjoy,
Tom
So I ended the exam season, and bought Mario Kart 8 to celebrate. Which under the current Mario Kart 8 promotion allowed me to receive a download copy of Pikmin 3 for free. If you don’t know about this game promotion you can read about it here. Anyway into the Review.. Continue reading “Mario Kart 8 – In Depth Review (WiiU)”
So yes, this Christmas I was lucky enough to unbox a Nintendo WiiU. It’s been incredibly difficult to spend enough time with some games in order to give them a review score hence the lack of posts. Anyway Cloudberry Kingdom is a platformer which purposefully has a high difficulty ramp. At first glance the first few levels might seem easy and just look like a generic grab the coins and get to the exit type of game. Read on to find out why that’s not true.
The only Steam Screenshot of Bioshock Infinite I have, Hello Handyman!
So as you know its been the Steam Christmas Sale and also Christmas itself is almost here, and I’ve got a little bit carried away. I might not have been active lately and apart from coursework at school this is the reason. I’VE BOUGHT TOO MANY GAMES! Read on to find out what games I’ve bought and potentially may be reviewed.
Kid Icarus finally got a revival, it’s move to 3D was drastically different and a lot of fun.
I never really got into the original Kid Icarus partly because I was awful at it, either way until Super Smash Bros Brawl I never would have imagined how much of an important IP the game was. Pit was one of my favorite characters to play as in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I was originally quite skeptical because I had never really ventured into the genre of on the rails shooters apart from Lylat Wars on the N64(which I loved), and also the line Pit said in the trailer “Sorry to keep you waiting!” IT’S BEEN 25 YEARS PIT! Anyway on with the review.
I knew before reviewing this that I was going to review this game highly, as the second game I ever purchased on Steam the first being Plants Vs Zombies. Super Meat Boy is an incredibly polished, difficult game that is incredibly rewarding. I’m going to make a bold statement here as a bit of a Mario fanboy and say that the controls feel as slick if not slicker than a Mario game due to the split second reactions needed and the sense of control when in mid-air. Read on for more information..
Dungeon Defenders is a Tower Defence style game which sees you protecting the Eternia Crystal.
Dungeon Defenders is a game I played last year over the Christmas holidays with my brother. I put tons of hours into the game (54 hours according to Steam), it’s quite addictive however after playing multiplayer so much Singleplayer doesn’t interest me. If you have friends or love action and tower defence games read on.
A map I am creating In Source SDK, hoping to eventually show graphical fidelity in my design when finished.
I’m planning on taking a course in game design if I manage to achieve the grades necessary and sort out the incredibly boring UCAS stuff. Anyway one of the Universities I looked at asked for a Games porfolio, and so I’m planning on doing a couple of games In Gamemaker, possibly learning some flash and making games or mods, making some nice looking SDK maps, creating some chip tunes, possibly some maps for Left 4 Dead 2 and doing some concept art.
Hey it’s me TomInbound, and I’m back! *Cue Explosion sounds, dinosaur roars and montages* I hope to be getting back into the regular swing of posting to this blog. As well, I really want to get into reviewing and it’s a good way to start. Anyway on with the review!
Don’t step into the darkness, oh and don’t starve either!
Another great game which a Youtube channel basically got me to buy, which is why I get annoyed at companies such as Nintendo which started taking away the money people make off Let’s Plays because for some games it really helps market them, for example Don’t Starve for me. On with the Review…
