Auditorium:short review

I came across an interesting puzzle game: Auditorium. It basically is a little flash game…that’s why this is a short review :) . You can finish the game in 1-2 hours. You have 3 elements in this game. A flow of sparkles, some square areas where you can “score points” when you redirect the flow of sparkles to them with the third element…some resizable modules that you can move around. If you don’t understand what I’m saying just play the game and see for yourself :P .

The interesting part, that tingled my interest is that when the flow of sparks hits the square areas they produce a sound (piano, drums and others), practically you create “music” with your actions…or I can say you hear pretty things when you advance through the level…That’s why it is called Auditorium. I almost forgot, your goal is to score the maximum amount of points in each square thingie by redirecting the flow accordingly. This is how you advance to the next level.

You can play the game at this link. If you like it maybe you can make a donation to the team. They want to do more with this game. This is what they say : “Want to hear more music, or see the full version on consoles or the iPhone?” It sounds like a good idea to port it on the iPhone… with the touchscreen and all.

If you never played a WW II FPS before or Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare you will find this game great, superb…put here any superlatives that come in your mind. This, not being the case, because I play WW II shooters since Wolfenstein 3D and I played COD 4 too, I’ll not give you this perspective on the game. The important minuses that this game has, are: the same COD 4 game mechanics, the lack of a story and of course…the old, tired WW II setting. Modern Warfare was a breath of fresh air…that’s why it was so Read more

They are sticky, they are slimy…some say they are even cute…it’s GOO for most of us. Like I promised this is the review for one of the most interesting, captivating and addictive games I played in years. It’s World of Goo. It looks like you don’t need millions and millions of dollars to make a great game and a good idea sometimes is enough. If in this period when Far Cry 2 , Fallout 3 or Red Alert 3 are out I play World of Goo…well…it says enough. Read more

Far Cry 2 review

When I think of Far Cry 2 I think of fire. This is the most impressive element of the game. Actually I should generalize and say that the Dunia engine is impressive. This is the first game where I see wind, and it really feels and acts accordingly. If you start a fire in the savanna and the wind is blowing, the effect is guaranteed. This is a great game for all you pyromancers out there…. I kid, I kid.
