If you like to play poker and have a mac it can be kinda frustrating when
Hard to believe games like this are a hit…
I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy them, but there isn’t much to the side-scrolling shooting game genre that seems like it would be appealing. Basically you move across the screen and shoot at anything (and everything) that comes your way. Occasionally you’ll need to turn the other way to shoot, but for the most part it’s just a matter of moving to the right and hitting the fire button.
“Vampire Origins” was first revealed two months ago, back in April. Screenshots depicting a high graphics 3D game were released, but all other details were obscure, including the genre of the game and the storyline. This game is to be the first in a trilogy. It is being developed by Ice-Hill and published by Chillingo.
Another day and another Chillingo release – it’s almost like the sun rising. And lucky for us, the track record that Chillingo has is close to that of the suns. Oh sure, the sun is still batting 1000, and the folks at Chillingo have had a few misses, but it’s pretty close.
I have to admit that I was a late joiner to the Tower Defense party. I had never played one on the computer and didn’t even know about the gaming genre until I picked up Fieldrunners shortly after it came out. Since then I’ve been hooked. In fact I’ve had to finally just say that I’m not going to get another one… I’ve got almost as many of these games as I do zombie games – and that’s saying something.
I think it’s fair to say that we all get a little excited when something that looks unique comes to the App Store. And it’s also good to see Chillingo’s name on a product since they seem to be bringing out a lot of good apps. With these two truths firmly in place I dove into Flip Discs…
