Sometimes all a platform needs is a few good exclusives. That certainly seems to be the case for Google+. While the selection of games on the service may be miniscule when compared to the social offerings on Facebook (or even Kongregate for that matter), Google has managed to net a few great exclusives worth crowing about. They were the first platform to debut a social spin on Angry Birds, launched the Digital Chocolate powered Gangs of Boomtown last month, and now, along with the Google Chrome Web Store, are the only place you can play the latest game from Crime City and Modern War creator Funzio, Kingdom Age.
Social gamers are likely familiar with Kabam's Facebook game Kingdoms of Camelot. The slow-paced strategy game, akin to Evony, is tailored to a more hardcore gaming ilk, and suffice to say it has done well over the years. Now, the game is seeing a new iOS upgrade in the form of Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North. Building upon the already existing world, most of the play is more of the same (only on mobile) and enjoyable for those who are already familiar with the title. That said, it's not the most forgiving game in the world for newcomers.
I remember it like it was yesterday. My friends and I would pack up all our weaponry, stir up all our hubris, and go stomping off on adventure after adventure. We'd loose our arrows and cast our spells on whatever stood in our way. We didn't do it to catch the eye of the fair maidens, though many a lady's company was enjoyed. We didn't do it for the great feasts thrown in our honor, though many a flagon was hoisted to our thirsting gullets. No, friend, we did it all for the runes. Those sweet, majestic runes.
I've bought the comic books, I've seen the movies, I've even collected the toys - but try as I might, I could never be a superhero. Even after I was bitten by that radioactive marmoset, I wasn't a superhero. Sure I could deftly scale buildings and use my ringed tail to grab on to trees and snare villains, but at the end of the day, there was one thing I was missing: other superheroes as friends. That's where Marvel: Avengers Alliance comes in.
My own experiences with the Warhammer universe are limited at best. In fact, with the exception of one unopened copy of Blood Bowl, every bit of my Warhammer time has been spent in the futuristic world of 40K's Space Hulk and Death Angel rather than the fantasy world that presented in Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes. Still, with a love for mages and melee, how could one go wrong dabbling in such a fantasy world? It's with that spirit of adventure in mind that I recently spent some time in Wrath of Heroes' closed beta.
In the future, all shall be square. Or at least that's the set-up for 3079, a first-person role-playing game that takes place in an open world. 3079's blocky characters and environments purposefully resemble another indie hit, Minecraft, and likewise includes randomly-generated buildings, items, and quests.
Are you capable of building a house? A better question is, are you capable of building a town and defending it from bloodthirsty monsters? Give it a try with Towns, an independently-made building and property management game that's mixed with role-playing elements.
