Raid Over the River

Posted in everything, games, mobile, shmups at 6:03 pm by the2bears

4 color rebellion mention that Nebris are currently developing a Nintendo DS shmup, Raid Over the River. There’s a screenshot that looks ok, but it’s really hard to tell. Let’s hope they don’t make the same mistakes that were made with Nanostray.

Ran into these cool devices at JavaOne yesterday. Running a Squawk VM, with RFID, they’re a pretty cool piece of the edge network puzzle. They’re also selling SavaJe phones as this year’s cool device… tempting.

Doomed to obscurity? Probably. Space Impact is a new N-Gage game announced by Nokia at E3. Looks pretty good if the screen shots are any indication.

Posted in everything, games, web, mobile at 7:43 pm by the2bears

I made a promise to mention Urban Rivals again (review here), and I’m happy to do that. I’m having a lot of fun playing it now and then, just popping on-line for a quick game or two. The pace of the games is perfect, and there are always willing opponents available. I’ve […]

I’m not the biggest fan of Iridion II, mostly because I don’t care for the perpsective all that much. However, I ran across Tomasz Pacnya’s web page, showcasing his art. Check out this background, which I can only assume was not used when the game moved from top down to a 3/4 view. […]

More DS Homebrew

Posted in everything, games, mobile, devices, shmups at 1:57 pm by the2bears

Tried out a couple Nintendo DS homebrew projects on my machine today.
The first is the start of a shmup, called Shoot & Score, information here. Not much yet, but I do like the idea of using both screens for a kind of tate mode.
A more interesting project is a port […]
