SLACKERJACK – Castle Clout
By Stuart Heritage on Monday, January 19, 2009 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Castle Clout History is probably the best thing ever invented, what with all the sandals and death and crap. We can’t get enough history.
And that’s why we love Castle Clout. It’s a little bit like a tank game, but it’s set in history so you get to fling rocks at castles. Which is wonderful, because the castles have people ...
SLACKERJACK – Brick Stacker 2
By Stuart Heritage on Friday, January 16, 2009 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Brick Stacker 2 Tetris was a good game, wasn’t it? We wonder why nobody’s ever tried to copy it in the past. Maybe it’s because... hey, wait a minute!
Brick Stacker 2 is identical to Tetris, but with one minor difference - where in Tetris the giant rotating blocks came falling towards you, in Brick Stacker 2 you get to ...
SLACKERJACK – Ice Breaker
By Stuart Heritage on Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Ice Breaker Brr, it’s been cold lately, hasn’t it? What with it being January and winter and the normal time for it to get cold and stuff. What we need is a game that somehow reflects the weather, don’t we? And maybe one with a pleasingly lo-fi 1980s soundtrack.
Well worry no more, because Ice Breaker is exactly that. You’re ...
SLACKERJACK – Evacuation
By Stuart Heritage on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Evacuation If there’s one thing we’ve always love doing, it’s blasting aliens out of spaceship airlocks to their death. But since that’s apparently so difficult to do on Earth, here’s the next best thing - Evacuation.
Evacuation is one of the most satisfying games we’ve played for a long time - you’re in control of a chambered spaceship and it’s ...
SLACKERJACK – Hardboiled
By Stuart Heritage on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Hardboiled Hardboiled is perhaps our very favourite type of game - it’s a compendium of barely explained minigames that last for about five seconds each. God, we could play Hardboiled all day.
Hardboiled’s fare is just what you’d expect - shoot the balloon, escape the maze, find the odd-looking chicken, climb the ladder, force geometric shapes to have sex with ...
SLACKERJACK – Globetrotter
By Stuart Heritage on Monday, January 12, 2009 at 12:00pm | One Comment
SLACKERJACK – Globetrotter We can’t get enough of games like Globetrotter - geography games. Or any game that gives us an air of intellectual superiority, for that matter.
Globetrotter couldn’t be easier to understand - there’s a big atlas, you’re told the name of a city and you have to see how close you can get to it. That’s literally all there ...
SLACKERJACK – Shine Bounce
By Stuart Heritage on Friday, January 9, 2009 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Shine Bounce Some games just make everything so difficult, don't they? Look at Shine Bounce - a game where you light up some bulbs by bouncing a ball at them.
Except that's not it at all - in Shine Bounce, the balls don't light the bulbs, but the rays of light that emit from the balls in a perpendicular ...
SLACKERJACK – Frantic
By Stuart Heritage on Thursday, January 8, 2009 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Frantic And now for a game that could only be more accurately titled if it was called Oh God Oh God What's This What Do I Do What Do I Do Oh No Oh No Arrgh. It's Frantic.
Frantic is a top-down shooter, the likes of which you've played tens of thousands of times in the past. But, dear lord ...
