Wednesdroid: Monster Blade

Imagine for a moment that Infinity Blade and Monster Hunter had a child. For starters, it would naturally be named Monster Blade, but ideally, it would also inherit the best traits of its parents, it would ...

Thursday Appdate: Candymeleon

Recently on Gamasutra, BitMonster's Lee Perry wrote a very insightful blog on an often intangible facet of game design: player feedback, that bit of game "feel" that makes a game not just fun, but injects ...

Waiting for Superman: The Beauty of Virality

One day in October 2012, I happened across this YouTube video with a top-down view of PSY’s concert in Seoul. Over 80,000 people were in attendance, with the crowd spanning entire city blocks. Every member ...

I Play SimCity Social for the Writing

“SimCity Social?” they ask me. “Sure, it’s got the SimCity branding and all, but isn’t it just another click-and-wait Facebook game?” Though I know the look of skepticism it will produce, my reply is, “Oh, I ...

Goodbye, LucasArts, and Thank You

8 Reasons I Quit Playing Facebook Games

Two years ago, I ranted about the need for more challenge and chance in social games. Since then, the entire gaming industry has drastically changed. If I sound like a broken record on that note, ...

Clash of Clans and Puzzle & Dragons Teaming Up to Completely Rule the World

Tweet We’ve made a lot of fuss lately about how well Puzzle & Dragons is doing for GungHo Entertainment — $3.5M per day ringing any bells? That’s a lot, of course, but give credit where it’s due; there are some other mobile giants out there who are doing pretty dang well for themselves. Clash of Clans springs [...]

Tweet Imagine for a moment that Infinity Blade and Monster Hunter had a child. For starters, it would naturally be named Monster Blade, but ideally, it would also inherit the best traits of its parents, it would be free-to-play, and it would be the Play Pick by Nubee featured in this week’s look at the Google Play [...]

Tweet As happens so very frequently, an event we said was going to happen has now happened. Did you doubt us? We have such a high CHA score, you know. In this case, the foretold event was the release of Knights of Pen & Paper +1 Edition , a tabletop-style RPG for your tabletop and desktop [...]

Puzzle & Dragons to Puzzle and Drag through Europe

Tweet The last time we checked up on runaway mobile hit Puzzle & Dragons, we mentioned the game was raking in over $3.7 million every day. That’s an amazing figure, mind you, and impressive for any game, but here’s something you need to understand — that amount is based on P&D‘s audiences in Japan and the United [...]

PlayFirst Adds Another Dash of Fun to Google Play

17. June 2013

Tweet Everybody loves to eat, and everybody loves a good success story, so it seemed fitting that Android users should be included in the audience for the mega-hit game Diner Dash from PlayFirst (a TriplePoint client). That happened last month, though, which makes the latest news seem a bit out of order: Cooking Dash has made its [...]

Blue Throttle: Sonic the Hedgehog Comes to Atlas Controller

Tweet Sometimes, it takes an iconic console character and game to show just how perfect of a marriage there is to be had between Android games and the Green Throttle Atlas Controller — a console experience adapted to a mobile platform which then supports a console controller for a mobile console game! …I think! What’s [...]

Knights of Pen & Paper & Pre-orders & Previews

Tweet We talked briefly about Knights of Pen & Paper +1 Edition a couple of months & days ago; it’s the game where you play players who are playing a game. Well, Paradox Interactive (a TriplePoint client & friend) has finally issued the errata to their last printing, and it came with a release date: June [...]

Wednesdroid: Transformers Legends

5. June 2013

0 Comments

Tweet There are plenty of games out there with deceptively rich features: Puzzle & Dragons is more than a simple match-3 game; Thor: Lord of Storms is trickier than your usual 2D RTS. What I’m saying, I suppose, is that a game can be more than meets the eye. Appropriately, this holds true for Transformers Legends, a free-to-play game [...]

Green Throttle Passing out the Green

4. June 2013

0 Comments

Tweet Playing Android games on a Green Throttle Atlas controller can transform a mobile title into a full console experience, if you’re playing the right game. So much so that Green Throttle Games (a TriplePoint client) is helping its developer partners offer the controller as an option to players with a new affiliate program: if [...]

After Earth Game Comes Out Before Movie After All

30. May 2013

0 Comments

Tweet We weren’t initially sure before whether After Earth the mobile game was going to come out after After Earth the movie, but it’s out today, before tomorrow’s movie release, so After Earth is out before After Earth. You’re welcome to play After Earth before or after you see After Earth, but you may be kicked out if it’s during After [...]

Tweet With last Friday seeing the arrival of Fast & Furious 6 in theaters across America, it’s only natural for related popular media to see an uptick in fastness, furiosity, and appreciation of Vin Diesel. The Google Play store is no exception, and with the free-to-play Fast & Furious 6: The Game featured as a Play Pick [...]

Throttling Up: The Bard’s Tale

24. May 2013

0 Comments

Tweet I was wrong about something when I noted that RPG classic The Bard’s Tale was coming to the Green Throttle Arena: I suggested that the game was the 2004 console version from InXile Entertainment, and not the 1980s version from Interplay. As it turns out, the game actually contains both tales — the original turn-based trilogy, and [...]
