The premise of Tasty Planet is simple. Players control a ball of goo with the ability to eat anything smaller than itself. As the goo eats objects it grows bigger, thereby giving it the ability to eat even larger objects. The goo could grow from the size of an ant to the size of a mountain in a single level.

Players will eat their way through six different time periods: modern, Late Cretaceous (i.e. dinosaurs), Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Feudal Japan, and the distant future. Each time period features a unique set of objects for the player to eat. Mice, cats, Tyrannosaurus Rex, mummies, gladiators, and flying saucers are just a few of the hundreds of objects available for consumption.

Development is wrapping up and Dingo Games will be releasing the game in the next few weeks. Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds will be available on Windows and Mac.

Social Gaming Network Launches First Cross-platform Mobile Game to Enable Live iPhone-to-Android Gameplay over 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth

SGN, the leader in cutting-edge social mobile gaming, today announced the launch of the first multi-platform mobile game allowing iPhone and Android users to compete live against one another. First launched on iPhone in December 2009, SGN’s hit aerial combat game "Skies of Glory" is now available on Android-based mobile phones above 2.0, including the EVO, Nexus and Droid. Android-toting gamers can not only join the action, but can play against their iPhone-carrying friends. In multiplayer game mode, an Android-based player can spot, engage and shoot down an iOS-based player. "Skies of Glory" for Android was developed in collaboration with Revo Solutions Games, SGN’s development partner on the original iPhone game.

SGN’s entry into the Android Market follows a meteoric rise in platform adoption. According to Gartner Research, Android represented 26.6 percent of all North American smartphone sales in Q1 2010 — a year-over-year increase of more than 500 percent.

"Mobile phones are unquestionably the gaming platform of the future. Smartphones are becoming accessible to all, and we are really excited to offer a true multi-platform, multiplayer social mobile gaming experience through ‘Skies of Glory,’" said SGN CEO Randy Breen. "As more and more people connect with family and friends through gaming, we continue to facilitate that connection regardless of users’ device or platform preferences."

Recognizing both platforms’ potential, SGN and Revo Solutions Games created an Open Platform Multiplayer Framework to support a variety of platforms and a wide range of connection capabilities, from EDGE to 3G to WiFi, maximizing gamers’ ability to connect.

For Android-based gamers, "Skies of Glory" features the same intense, stunning gameplay enjoyed by iPhone and iPod touch players. Set in World War II, the game features authentic planes from the era competing in multiplayer dogfights over stunning terrains, including mountain ranges, deserts, islands and oceans.

As the first chapter in a new trilogy players are invited to experience the exquisite art, evolving story, and intriguing puzzles of the Dream Chronicles adventure series like never before. Re-opening this family saga 10 years after the conclusion of Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child, players now take on the role of Lyra as her destiny unfolds.

air

Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air opens on the eve of Lyra’s 18th birthday when she is magically transported to an alternate dimension. Following clues left behind by her grandfather, Lyra travels through a strange realm in search of the mystical Clockmaker who is the only one that can restore time and return her to her family. Taking the helm of a flying airship, Lyra explores the mystical landmarks of this gorgeous, yet mysterious world, in her quest to restore time and return home.

As the next chapter in the Dream Chronicles saga, Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air re-immerses players like never before. Innovative new game play elements add new dimensions to the experience and allow players to freely explore the world of Dream, use magical abilities to unravel puzzles, and learn even more about the mysterious story of a fairy realm.

“The Dream Chronicles series has earned a reputation for its stunning art, extraordinary puzzles, and intricate, evolving storylines,” said Becky Ann Hughes, senior brand manager for PlayFirst. “With Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air, these hallmarks of the series are taken to new heights, with the addition of features that will delight both the casual and expert player. Fans will not believe where the story of this new trilogy takes them.”

Celebrating the launch of this new trilogy, PlayFirst hosted a select group of Dream Chronicles fans on an airship ride around the San Francisco Bay Area, mimicking Lyra’s own travels in the game. The fans also enjoyed an advance, pre-launch play session with Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air and had the opportunity to talk to key development team members about the inspiration, story and future of the Dream Chronicles series.

“I am at a loss for words!” said Noel Milliner, of Oakland, CA. “ I love that there are more lively aspects (to Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air) . It’s more intricate, more interactive. It’s challenging, which is what I look for in any puzzle game.” Noel further said, “After playing a couple of hours, I feel like I’m barely breaking the surface of this game.”

Jennifer White, a Dream Chronicles aficionado from Sacramento, CA explained, “I like the story …I like Lyra’s attitude, and the way the game continues the story.”

The Collector’s Edition launches today, offering early access to the game, as well as an additional hour of game play, and a teaser look at the next installment of the trilogy. Other special extras to the Collector’s Edition include wallpapers, walkthroughs, a strategy guide and behind-the-scenes art for hungry Dream Chronicles fans looking for more information about their favorite game.

Review of Divinity II Ego Draconis for Xbox360 @ TestFreaks

Title: Review of Divinity II Ego Draconis for Xbox360 @ TestFreaks

Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/review-of-divinity-ii-ego-draconis-for-xbox360/

Quote:
"So today I’m taking a look at the Xbox360 version of Divinity II Ego Draconis. I reviewed the PC version HERE last month so I’m not going to be as in-depth with this review as I was with the PC version, it’s primarily the same game just on a different platform, but there are glaring differences in the versions and I think it’s worth it to take a look at this version. Divinity II Ego Draconis is an example of how not to do a game port really, this game is much better on the PC from the interface to the graphics and down to the gameplay as well, the PC version is the one you want to be playing. The game itself is decent, there’s tons of stuff to do, it’s long and the fact that you can play as a dragon adds to the game, but that doesn’t make up for low framerates, tearing and other glitches in the game like having your character get stuck in places or the controller just not working correctly at times. I like the interface quite a bit in the PC version, but it’s been re-done for the Xbox36o and it’s a sort of stripped done version here. One glaring difference is that you don’t get to see your character in the interface, in the PC version you can see him or her and the appearance changes with what weapons you use, what armor you equip etc, I really liked that feature and it’s just not in the Xbox360 version. So read on to learn more.. "
