  • I’m quite enjoying Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol!

    Yep, I’m hav­ing fun with Ace Patrol, as you may have seen in my pre­vi­ous post, it’s a light single/multiplayer, World War I stra­tegic com­bat game. Air­fights con­sist of up to 8 com­batants, four per side, and vary depend­ing on air­craft, pilot skill, and game dif­fi­culty level. Ace Patrol is cur­rently only avail­able for iPad, iPod…

  • Immelmann your way to victory in Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol for iOS

    After check­ing out Pock­etTactic’s piece on the lim­ited (to Canada) release of a new Sid Mei­er game, I thought I’d take a little time tonight and check out Sid Mei­er­’s Ace Patrol for iOS, espe­cially there’s not a lot of game info either on 2K’s page (they’re the pub­lish­er) nor on Fire­Ax­is’s page (they’re the…

  • Lawnchairs in Space!

    You likely are aware that I’m a fan of the Kerbal Space Pro­gram, a very cool and fun way to safely explore the pro­cess of design­ing, build­ing, launch­ing, nav­ig­at­ing and land­ing space­craft. Yep, cool and safe. Totally unlike real­ity. Earli­er today I stumbled across this video that, while hos­ted by a Kerbal Space Pro­gram fan, goes into a…

  • And, there goes more free time this weekend thanks to Guild Wars 2.

    Looks like there’s a one-time-only event sched­uled for this week­end. Giv­en my lack of par­ti­cip­a­tion in the recent Hal­loween event, I’d bet­ter make sure I’m on hand to represent. Guild Wars 2: The Lost Shores is the title of it, and judging by the trail­er, it looks to be very very ‘inter­est­ing’.  

  • The droids I’m looking for? Maybe.

    This is what you get when you marry two hugely suc­cess­ful enter­tain­ment genres — a Star Wars fla­voured Angry Birds game. Actu­ally, it’s kinda fun 😉 but with all the dif­fer­ent Star Wars things these days, my memor­ies of the ori­gin­al films is kinda grow­ing murky. Did Luke have a beak? Or was it more…

  • To the Mun and back.

    If you’re into the Kerbal Space Pro­gram (as you’ll no-doubt have noticed I am) you’ll appre­ci­ate this video of a trip to Mun and back, set to appro­pri­ate music. The video also shows off some of the really great graph­ics and images pos­sible with this sand­box style game. Fun!

  • Coolest indie game in development — update and video!

     My recent fling with the Kerbal Space Pro­gram is get­ting more ser­i­ous; they’ve released the much-anti­cip­ated 0.7 update that includes lots of cool stuff, including: Sev­er­al new Plan­ets and Moons, for a total of 14 Celes­ti­al Bodies. Mul­tiple game saves support. Tutori­als and Scenarios. Sev­er­al new Parts, includ­ing a NERVA Engine. Intern­al Cock­pit Views on…
