Ninja Toss (iPad)

Posted on January 8th, 2013 by
In Ninja Toss, you fling a fat ninja with a slingshot and see how far he’ll go. To start, tap the screen when the meter on the top of the screen is in the middle, and the fat ninja will be flung farther. You don’t really have much control over your ninja after that, but he’ll bounce on the ground for a little while, and you can use a special lighting attack with a tap on the screen to give him an extra boost. As he flies and bounces, the fat ninja will hit running critters that look like rice balls. Certain rice balls can help him bounce higher. When you can’t bounce anymore, you can play again to try and beat your score, or go to the shop with rice you’ve collected from bouncing on the rice ball people to buy upgrades so you can go farther next time.

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion (3DS)
Posted on December 30th, 2012 by
One of the highlights of the early days of the Sega Genesis in the 16-bit years was Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (this was even before Sonic the Hedgehog). Now, more than 20 years later, we get a direct sequel with Power of Illusion, which takes elements of the classic game and mixes them with gameplay ideas from the more recent Epic Mickey series. One day, in the Wasteland, a place where forgotten cartoon stars go, a mysterious castle appeared. It was the evil witch Mizrabel’s Castle of Illusion, and she’s none too happy about being forgotten! So she uses her magic to kidnap famous cartoon characters and traps them in her castle, in a plan to steal their heart power so she can go back to the toon world. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, caretaker of the Wasteland, calls upon Mickey Mouse once again to infiltrate her castle, rescue the toon-napped prisoners, and foil Mizrabel’s evil plans!

Posted on December 26th, 2012 by
When I was a little kid, I used to love going to Chuck E Cheese’s. Was it because of the creepy robotic band on stage? Heck, no! Was it because of the sub-par pizza? Absolutely not! No, I loved all the arcade games! Did you know that Chuck E. Cheese was started by the same guy who founded Atari, to make arcades more accessible to families? Now UFO is trying to recreate the arcade fun of Chuck E. Cheese with Chuck E. Cheese’s Alien Defense Force, a downloadable DSiWare title for play on the DSi and 3DS.
