    The inspirations behind The Banner Saga [interview]

    By

    The Banner Saga is an upcoming turn-based strategy game for PC and Mac, but its existence symbolizes much more than that. When the studio behind the title, Stoic, initiated a Kickstarter for The Banner Saga, it had initially hoped to raise the $100,000 necessary for the game's development and distribution. The Banner Saga has since been funded nearly five times over, with almost $473,000 pledged via Stoic's Kickstarter.

    Swords are handy tools to have around. They make kings, they slay dragons, and they defend realms from marauding hordes. There's just one problem: swords don't jump up and start swinging themselves for a cause. That's where you come in with Spellsword, a hack-and-slash platforming game for iOS.

    Today's cars are marvels of engineering and technology. They have built-in TVs and video games. They can play mp3s and access satellite radio stations from around the world. Heck, cars today can practically drive themselves. They can't, however, park themselves. In fact, parking your car is every bit a nightmare in 2012 it was in 1912.

    Big Brother is Watching You. But in a unique game that's being proposed by developer Alexei Tylevich and two game studios, Camouflaj and Logan, Big Brother may actually end up being your best friend and your savior. That's the general idea behind Republique, a "symbiotic" stealth-puzzle iOS game that puts you in charge of a young woman who's desperate to sneak out of a mysterious, totalitarian state.

    Free downloadable guide now available: Why Video Games are Good For You

    By

    Video games aren't just fun to play; they can also be good for you. Video games can improve hand-eye coordination, they can foster storytelling skills, and they can even make operating basic technology a less intimidating task—a very important point in today's digital world. Some adults, however, are concerned about the potential downsides of playing video games in excess, and block their kids' access to them.

    Last year, General Fleece and his herds of sheep fought back packs of marauding wolves in Saving Private Sheep, a physics-based puzzler for iOS. The wolves have all gone home, disgraced—but the canine appetite for mutton is insatiable. Now the foxes are on the move in Saving Private Sheep 2, and they're looking to make a snack out of General Sheepard (we see what you did there, Bulkypix) and his faithful rams and ewes.

    Disney Animal Kingdom Explorers Review

    Most hidden object games (HOGs) trot out hunt-the-item scenes that look as if a tornado hit an episode of Hoarders. Explanations for the mess are rarely offered, either; you're just supposed to assume that the dead/murdered person who owned the house (since that's almost always the premise) liked to collect junk. But Disney Animal Kingdom Explorers for Facebook does something a bit different: it asks you to search through beautifully-drawn crowds of animals that are clustered on plains and around watering holes. It's a fun experience for animal lovers—and it's educational!

    Kickstarter Picks: Super Fun Time

    By

    Are you familiar with microgame collections? A microgame is a bit like a basic action/arcade experience, except the developer force-feeds it a lot of sugar, jams the pacing up to 400 RPMs, and breaks off the gearshift. A microgame collection corrals several dozen of these tiny games into one package, and then wraps them around a basic concept that lets you experience said games for a few frantic seconds at a time. Microgames found a lot of success on Nintendo's systems thanks to the WarioWare titles, but they've never found much of an audience on iOS or Android. Spiffy Games hopes to change that with its Super Fun Time Kickstarter.
