Am I the only one who gets bored playing Air Hockey after a while? I mean, all you do is hit the puck back and forth across the table and try to score a goal. Where are all the deadly saw blades and environmental hazards to keep you on your toes? That's why I'm so excited about Slamjet Stadium, the latest release from Alistair Aitcheson that gives us Air Hockey with an attitude.
I've never understood why 'playing fair' is such a central tenet of childhood learning. Have any of these teachers even played Mario Party? In all seriousness, some of the most fun I've had with my friends involves activities that feature frantic, fun-filled jostling for supremacy. So when independent developer Alistair Aitcheson used the words "cheating and stealing are encouraged" in describing Galaxyball 2113...actually, I got a little too excited and blacked out, so I'm vague on the details of what happened next.
Greedy Bankers was a surprising treat when it was released on the App Store back in February. Not only did it feature some great puzzle gameplay, but it also contained a lot more charm than many big-budget iPhone games. Now, we have Greedy Bankers vs. The World, a beefed-up pseudo-sequel for the iPad. This updated (literally) larger title has a slew of new features but it still manages to provide all the fun of the original.
I'm not sure if there's currently a group of people more despised than greedy bankers. If there is, I'm fairly certain that I don't want to meet any of them. That said, I certainly enjoyed being as one thanks to Greedy Bankers, a charming new puzzle game for the iPhone.
