LEGO have been a staple form of play in many children’s lives. I definitely built more than my share of LEGO castles, pirate ships, etc. back when I was a kid. In the last few years, LEGO have branched out into movie themed video games, and even a LEGO themed movie, many of which have met with great success and excellent reviews. Now, LEGO looks to blur some of the lines between their building blocks and their games with LEGO Fusion. Read on for more information on the new way to LEGO.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) of 2014 has come and gone and I thought it would be a good idea to get some reactions from the staff here at CurrentSpotlight. There were a lot things announced, and this will allow us to talk about some of our favorites. Keep reading for our lists of a few games to watch.
Lumosity, the brain training game for iOS, has finally come to Android adding to its over 50 million users total. Lumosity has been on iOS for some time now and has been extremely popular (rated 5 stars on the Apple App Store).
If you happen to sport an NVIDIA based graphics card inside your humble gaming PC, then you should be pretty familiar with the NVIDIA GeForce Experience app. It is an app that keeps the drivers for your card updated, allows you set up connection for a NVIDIA Shield, set all the graphic settings needed for your games and a whole lot more. Mostly, it is an amazing piece of software that allows you to record yourself gaming and even stream yourself gaming to Twitch. While I have a GeForce GTX 760 OC card, and do a fair amount of gaming, I am still a bit of a noob in all the things the Experience app is capable of. However, I do know that the update that I was just prompted for is a rather interesting and important update. Here is what is new from the change log presented at update time.
Origin recently started an “On the House” promotion, where they offer a game (or sometimes two) for free. So far they have been older games, but still quality titles for free. This month that trend continues with Battlefield 3 and Plants Vs. Zombies – Game of the Year Edition for the low, low price of Free!
Harmonix – developer of such hits as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Dance Central – has had other hit rhythm-based games in the past. They’d really like to bring an HD remake of one of them to the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 with your help! Harmonix has started a Kickstarter in hopes of funding an updated version of Amplitude.
First things first, this review is going to assume a certain level of knowledge of the MOBA genre. I am intentionally not getting mired down with the minutia that is shared between practically every title in the category. If you are unfamiliar with these types of games, I would recommend reading up here, before proceeding further into this review.
Leo’s Fortune follows the story of Leo, a small little fur ball with a mustache and what seems like a Russian accent. You are Leo and you are hunting down the animal that decided he was going to steal your fortune. The game starts off with a short narration and overview of the game, the story and its objectives.
I recently found a Kickstarter campaign for a very novel (pun completely intended) idea. Storium is a web-based multi-player story writing game. Take a second and re-read that last sentence, I’ll wait. From the Kickstarter page:
Earlier today, Sony unleashed a 99¢ Flash Sale for the weekend. Many of these games are PS1 or PS2 classics, but there are also quite a few newer games as well. There are over 30 Playstation Network downloadable games available for Playstation 3, PSP, and PS Vita. See the full list below.
I recently got my hands on the newest game from Itzy Interactive – Vex Puzzles. Vex Puzzles is a match 4/block elimination puzzle game with a few twists. Most notably, the way you actually have to twist your phone during some puzzles to move your blocks. Not all of Vex’s 480 puzzles require your phone’s accelerometer, but enough do that I would be sure to have two hands available during gameplay.
I was recently told about a Kickstarter campaign for Planets³, a game that was described to me as Minecraft/Terraria/Starbound mixed with deeper RPG elements inspired by games such as Mass Effect, Skyrim, and Zelda. Having played all of those games for more hours than I can count, my interest was certainly piqued.
I was given access to Heroes of Steel – the upcoming tactical fantasy role-playing game from the Trese Brothers – on November 24th at around 1:30 am. I was getting ready to head to bed and figured I would just install the game and really dive in after I got some sleep. After getting everything downloaded I thought I would just boot it up so I could check out the beginning of the game, but then get some sleep and play more in the morning. The next thing I knew, it was 4am and I was still playing.
