Earlier in the week, Apple announced that both Vlambeer's Ridiculous Fishing and Frogmind's Badland won game of the year for iPhones and iPads respectively. Ridiculous Fishing was released on March 23rd, while Badland released on April 4th.We reviewed Ridiculous Fishing, back in March, and absolutely loved our time with it. We awarded the game a perfect score. Our only criticism was that we felt a bit silly tilting our device's screen while playing.In April, we reviewed Badland, giving it four out of five stars. While we enjoyed the beautiful art style and clever puzzle designs, the multiplayer left much to be desired and success in the game sometimes came more from luck, than skill.Runners up to Ridiculous Fishing were Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Device 6. Runners up to Badland were XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Impossible Road. If you're wondering what games Gamezebo liked best, be sure to check back for our Best of 2013 roundup starting Monday!
The Humble Mobile Bundle 3 has officially gone live today, and not only does the latest offering bring with it another great selection of indie games like usual, but this time it also has a few exciting platform debuts for dedicated Android users as well. Most notably, gamers will now be able to play Ridiculous Fishing and Swordigo on their Android device for the very first time.Gamers can pay whatever they want for The Humble Mobile Bundle 3 to receive EPOCH, rymdkapsel, SpellTower, and Swordigo; all while helping out the developers and doing some good for the Child's Play Charity. But if they want to pay more than the average (which is a mere $4.23 at the time of this writing), then they'll also be able to snag both Ridiculous Fishing and Kingdom Rush: and take it from us, those two games are pretty ridiculously amazing."You can pick up The Humble Mobile Bundle 3 for Android right now by heading on over to the Humble Bundle website, and don't forget to keep checking back on that page, as additional games are already promised to be added to the deal before the bundle reaches its end date in just under two weeks from now.
Maybe it's just me, but that seasonal transition - the winter-to-spring of it - makes March seem like the longest month ever. Also, the whole "31 days" thing doesn't help. But doesn't it feel even longer than that? Thankfully, this past March gave us plenty of good games to help us while away our end-of-winter doldrums!
It's been a long time coming, but Ridiculous Fishing has officially been submitted to Apple. The news comes from developer Vlambeer, who earlier today published a blog post detailing the game's troubled -- and lengthy -- journey to the App Store.
We spend a lot of time looking at games here at Gamezebo. You'd expect as much - heck, it's in our name! But have you ever wondered which games the Gamezebo staff are really passionate about? The ones we can't personally wait to get our hands on?
Here at Gamezebo, we've recently published a glowing review for a new iPhone game called Ninja Fishing. We certainly weren't alone in this - IGN and 148Apps both gave it high marks. In fact the game is sitting at an 8.6 on Quality Index and an 81 on MetaCritic - clearly this is a title that's getting some love. So why are some people getting upset over it?
