As far as endless runners (or “racer,” in this case) go, Race the Sun from developer Flippfly is one of the more intriguing ones. It places emphasis on user-created content, melding player-made levels with the main-game attractions marvelously. Minimalist design that extends beyond mere aesthetics create strong, blistering play, tightly packed levels providing challenge steadily…
Hello, and welcome to Entertainium Extra! Our new weekly news round-up feature highlighting some of the bigger, interesting, or just plain weird stories from the past week. This week saw the news we’ve all been waiting for: new console launch details! Both Sony and Microsoft dropped the news at Gamescom in Germany, which probably marks…
We at Entertainium are a small team. We don’t often get the time to report on the news as it occurs because we’re busy with other matters. So, rather than expend energy writing up individual stories, we’ve elected to post a weekly recap of some news we feel is worth mentioning. Maybe that will be…
Rhythm is but an everyday part of life in Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians. Plants and wildlife perpetually create music while the citizenry speak through vaguely melodic gibberish, some even moving in in time with the beat. Beatbuddy is hardly a full-on rhythm game – more exploration with occasional action phases – but it permeates…
Depending on how you play Ibb & Obb, it will either be a delightful game of jolly cooperation or an exercise in multitasking hell. Despite its inviting looks, Ibb & Obb is a deceitfully challenging game. It’s cooperative-based platforming requires coordination on a grand scale, as well as extreme dexterity should you play solo. Guiding…
Race The Sun is a sort of open-world take on the endless runner. In it, you control a solar powered hover-craft and attempt to collect as many tris – blue, wireframe pyramids – as you can to get the highest score possible before the sun sets. The game is currently in open beta, so I…
Most downloadable content is too miniscule to devote a complete review to. But sometimes we still want to highlight such an add-on or two. Thus, A Look At: a sort of mini-review/impressions piece or whatever term you prefer for when we wish to highlight DLC, general post-release updates for games (say, Monaco’s recent level editor),…
Stealth and time trials are hardly a proper pairing. Steady, methodical play dominates the stealth game genre, punishing players for attempting to rush even slightly. Stealth Inc.: A Clone in the Dark from Curve Studios tries to balance the two, placing an emphasis on barreling through stages at breakneck speeds while still maintaining that rigid,…
In the distant future, the human race is wiped from the Earth following a failed perpetual energy experiment. Well, technically it succeeded – energy now rains from the sky – but the whole everyone being dead thing kinda puts a damper on it. Not that it’s going to stop clever entrepreneurs like yourself. In Gun…
Haven’t played enough of the game to feel comfortable reviewing Gun Monkeys yet (connectivity issues – mine and the game’s own – have been preventing me from finding many games, random or otherwise), but I’ve been itching to write, so… yeah. Impressions! Enjoy. Procedurally-generated maps is a brilliant idea for a multiplayer game. Keeps every…
