SLACKERJACK – Coaster Maker

by Stuart Heritage

God, but Theme Park was a good game. Wasn’t it? Making rollercoasters so impossible that anyone who rode them ended up either dead or initiating a sort of puke-tsunami. Oh, those were the days. But now Coaster Maker is here! And it’s sort of identical! Hooray! In Coaster Maker, you have to set out a [...]

SLACKERJACK – Sound Walk

by Stuart Heritage

If  you’ve ever played PaRappa The Rapper or anything like that, you’ll know more or less how Sound Walk will work. You’re basically a chap out for a lovely walk, but you’ve got to overcome obstacles by pressing the arrow keys. But you’ve got to do it perfectly in time with the music, or your [...]

SLACKERJACK – Cactus Shoot

by Stuart Heritage

Sometimes online games can get bogged down with stupid things like ‘story’ or ‘a point’. But not Cactus Shoot. Cactus Shoot is the antithesis to all that nonsense. Here’s how Cactus Shoot works – there are some cacti, and you shoot them. First the cacti are in the desert, then they’re in some woman’s apartment, [...]

SLACKERJACK – Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

In the beginning Prince Of Persia was a game. And then someone made Prince Of Persia: The Film Of The Game.

Honestly, five years of Slackerjacks and we still haven’t got any better at them. That includes Let It Glow. But chances are you’ll be better. In Let It Glow, [...]

SLACKERJACK – Trafalgar Origins

by Stuart Heritage

No, this isn’t about the origins of Trafalgar Square – you’ll find no giant crowds of underwhelmed tourists here. This is Trafalgar Origins, a sort of nautical simulation set in times of old.

SLACKERJACK: Mr Runner

by Stuart Heritage

We like our online games like we like our men – blocky and hard. Oh hang on, that didn’t really work, did it? Oh screw it. Look, this is Mr Runner – an online game that is both blocky and impossibly hard. In Mr Runner you run and you jump nd that’s literally all you [...]

SLACKERJACK – Enough Plumbers

by Stuart Heritage

Yes, this is a platform-style game about a coin-collecting plumber. But wait – Enough Plumbers isn’t about Mario. Well, not really anyway. Instead, Enough Plumbers is a sort of multiple-Mario Mario game. Every time our hero – let’s call him Not Mario – collects a coin, he clones himself. That means, on a level with [...]

SLACKERJACK – Run Jesus, Run

by Stuart Heritage

The Bible is good and all – at least that’s what the red-eyed lady who lives downstairs from us shrieks at three o’clock in the morning – but it’s hardly very interactive.
