Glowfish

Glowfish for iOS | iPhone/iPod, Reviews, Action/Adventure

Glowfish, provided to me by MumboJumbo, is a gorgeous, underwater exploration game for the iOS. It somehow manages to be relaxing yet challenging at the same time. On a platform filled with a wide-range of games, Glowfish is a real gem. The game tasks you with rescuing your girlfriend, Coralline, from the evil Dr. You’ll set off to reunite with her, finding friends along the way to help.

Glowfish is beautiful and has a fun sense of scale. Defeating enemies makes you bigger, and bigger enemies require you to be the same size to defeat them. Yes, I’ve seen that before, but it makes for a great game.

Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw on Gay Roleplaying

The Escapist : Extra Punctuation: Roleplaying Homosexual in Dragon Age 2 via GayGamer.net

…the person you are in a game is not the person you are in reality. You reinvent yourself for every new world. I know some people try to play their RPG protagonists as close to their own personalities (and even appearances) as they can, but I like to create a new character, building an image of their personality in my mind that grows with each dialogue and story choice. In other words, I like to role play. I assumed that was the point of a role-playing game. And while playing Dragon Age 2 my Hawke ended up being gay…

I found this article pretty interesting. He finds that as he’s roleplaying, the character’s he created happens to be gay and goes with it. He also discusses relationships in game and the emotional attachments that are created by playing.

Groove Coaster

Groove Coaster for iOS | iPhone/iPod, Reviews, Rhythm

Groove Coaster was released on the iOS last week, and I’ve had trouble staying away with it. Following in the footsteps of Space Invaders Infinity Gene, Groove Coaster is Taito’s newest offering. At only $2.99 it delivers a fantastic music experience that I highly recommend.

I just wish the soundtrack wasn’t $9.99. I want it, but I don’t want to pay $9.99!
