    Outernauts for mobile is not Outernauts

    By

    Outernauts was brilliant. We said as much when it launched back in 2012, and I stand by every single word of praise we've heaped upon it. It's arguably the best Facebook game I've played (though Marvel: Avengers Alliance could probably argue just as strongly for that title), and unlike many of you reading this, I've played a lot.Outernauts was Insomniac Games' first foray into casual gaming, and it proved not only to be a great free-to-play Pokemon clone, but the first Pokemon clone that I found myself enjoying on par with the real thing. And don't just take my word for it - YouTube's leading Pokemaniac TheJWittz wrote the Gamezebo review of Outernauts and gave it a perfect score.They shut the web-based game down earlier this year to focus on a mobile-only relaunch. As a fan of the original, I was more than a little excited.That excitement was misplaced.

    Ratchet and Clank make mobile endless running debut in ‘Before the Nexus’

    By

    Coming from a background in home console gaming, it's always so exciting to me whenever some of my favorite video game franchises cross paths with the world of mobile gaming that we know so well over here at Gamezebo. Well Insomniac Games has surprised everyone today by announcing the very first Ratchet and Clank game for mobile devices to be called Before the Nexus, Pocket Gamer is reporting. The news corresponds with the upcoming launch of Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus, which is said to mark a return to the loveable duo's platforming console roots in just a few short days.At its core, Before the Nexus can be described as an endless runner game, although the "running" aspect of the gameplay actually takes place on the winding grind rails that seasoned Ratchet and Clank veterans should know all too well from the series of console games. In a statement about the upcoming game on Sony's official PlayStation blog, Senior Producer Greg Phillips expanded upon the endless running gameplay of Before the Nexus by saying "You can hop between grind rails while avoiding hazards to collect bolts which can be used to upgrade your weapons and armor.""So let's see: we've got grind rails, lots and lots of bolts, and quirky R&C weapons? That sounds like an explosive and fun-filled time to me! Billed as a companion app of sorts to the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus, players will even be able to transfer their precious earned Raritanium from the mobile game right into the big console adventure through the PlayStation Network, as just another added incentive to get those grind boots out and polished in your down time.
