If the Magic School Bus taught us anything, it's that shrinking down to a microscopic size and going inside people's bodies doesn't yield any pretty sights. Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin is another story about a speck working its way through a gooey digestive system, and it confirms this much: the human body is a heck of a playground.
Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin is a mobile game published by Microsoft, in which the goal is to take on enemies using your newly acquired tentacles. Taking on all of the boss enemies headed your way can be a daunting task, but with Gamezebo's quick start guide you'll be on your way to taking down anything that gets in your way.
Sometimes a long-winded name can put a bit of a dampener on a perfectly enjoyable video game. Then there are other times, such as with Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, when a long and winding name completely reels you in before you even know what the game is about. I mean, look at those four words smashed together - is there anything there that doesn't make you want to Google is as soon as possible?
I'd be lying if I said I was well-versed in deep transportation simulation games. Up until to this point the only one I'd ever spent any significant time with is the Railworks Train Simulator series. The idea of a game trying to recreate to the best of its abilities what it's actually like to drive a train or in this case fly a plane, is intense. It's also a natural fit for games. Some of these games have the ability to give you a pretty decent impression on whether you might want to pursue "the real thing". One of the long-time leaders in the sim world was the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, and it's recently been reborn as the free-to-play Microsoft Flight, so let's take a look at what it has to offer.
There's good news for fans of Microsoft's Flight Simulator franchise, which published its last game in 2006 and was then seemingly shut down. Microsoft has announced plans to resurrect the franchise as a PC "freemium" offering called Microsoft Flight. The game's first stage, which lets players fly over the skies of Hawaii's Big Island, will be free to download. Players who wish to explore more of the game can fork over some cash to unlock more planes and locations.
When Kinectimals debuted on the Xbox 360's newly minted Kinect motion sensor, it instantly tugged at your heartstrings. One thing that we humans cannot resist is cute, cuddly young animals, and Kinectimals delivered it in spades on your TV screen—and now you can get a similar experience on iOS for a fraction of the investment price. While the game is short on variety, it's filled to the brim with different variations on mini-games and is sure to please its target market that is starved for all things adorable.
