Revolution
YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY, RIGHT ROUND! YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY, RIGHT ROUND! And so on & so forth.
This game is all about making cogs spin. Drag & drop cogs from the tray at the bottom onto the page so that every cog turns. Simples.
There is nothing complicated about the concept of how to play the game, however, this is one of those “minute to learn, lifetime to master” kind of games. Whilst the idea is easy, making your way through all of the 75 levels may not be. As you progress, you find more & more difficult challenges appear which include different elements such as ‘no cog zones’ & ‘falling stars’ which make your job a little bit harder.

Those who regularly get new games to play on their phones have probably gotten used to the routine of new xbl games and special offers appearing on Wednesdays, but strangely enough, nothing has appeared today.
This week’s deal is The Harvest and whilst it’s still being featured as such, it’s still the same old price and there are no new xbox live games available to buy. Stranger still, it has been reported that no other new apps or games have gone onto the marketplace today.

Tiki Towers
Do you have much experience in the construction industry? Do you like coconuts & bamboo? Well, do I have a job proposal for you! Tiki Towers is all about making structures out of bamboo & coconuts for little monkeys to climb & swing across so they can grab a banana & get home okay. When I first loaded up Tiki Towers, I was a little worried as it looked a bit too cheesy, but I was pleasantly surprised that behind the cheesy intro & cartoon style graphics, there is some really good fun gameplay.

Max and the MagicMarker
This is most definitely a curious & inventive game. You use a giant marker to help you through the levels by drawing things into reality. This could be drawing boulders to drop onto see-saws to catapult you into the air, drawing planks to help you get across gaps or just drawing something to drop onto the bad guys who appear.
The story revolves around a little guy called Max (big surprise 1) who has a Magic Marker (big surprise 2) that is posted to him (a bit mysterious & creepy, but okay). He draws a little character that becomes alive & a little bit evil, so he draws himself so he can go & defeat the evil drawing. This is the sort of plot I could imagine ending with the line “and he woke to find it was all a dream”, but it’s still quite fun.

The-Harvest
I’ve finally got round to reviewing The Harvest & I feel it’s really been worth the wait for me. The harvest caused a stir when it’s beautiful looking graphics were shown off as an example of what Xbox Live games for Windows Phone could be & I have to admit, it doesn’t disappoint. The game takes you, a member of the army in a special robotic suit, down to planet earth to get rid of the alien hoard known as the ‘Harvesters’. Along the way you can pick up various chips & attachments as well as level up when you gain enough experience. Both the chips you pick up & levelling up with let you enhance the variety of aspects of the game, including:

Assassins-Creed-Altairs-Chronicles-WP7
Time for more wall climbing, wall jumping, people stabbing, sword clashing action as Altair quietly wonders onto Windows Phone before shoving a concealed knife into it. Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles follows the tale of Altair (big surprise) except it does feel like a bit of filler between two bigger stories, the end simply stops. It does have a sense of building up to something, and then it just stops. That aside, you can still have plenty of fun along the way.
The game doesn’t give you as much freedom as you could get from the AC games you find on the Xbox or PS3, but it does still give you a little bit of freedom whilst trying to guide you down a particular path. By this I mean, there are 3D environments you can wonder around, but you have to end up at a particular place & there’s only really one way you can normally get to that place.

This is one of those games that I was looking forward to reviewing; sadly it’s not quite lived up to my expectations. I originally knew of Katamari from seeing this image:
I Love Katamari
It’s from the cover of the Playstation game “Katamari Damacy”, upon which I Love Katamari is based.The game is based around the ‘little prince’ & his dad, the “King of All Cosmos” who has sent the little prince off to earth with a magic ball called a Katamari. This ball picks up things like a snowball going down a slope in a cartoon & its intention is to pick up enough to become new stars after the King of All Cosmos wiped out the existing ones after getting really really drunk.

Rise Of Glory
What ho, chaps! Man your planes, wheels up in 20! There’s enemy fighters’ heading our way! Chocks away! Pip-pip!
Rise of Glory is a brilliant little air combat game flight simulator for WP7 which involves going on daring missions; shooting down enemy planes, taking photos of enemy bases, shooting down enemy planes, dropping supplies & shooting more enemy planes! The controls are fantastic – using a combination of your device’s accelerometer for general steering & a variety of on-screen buttons for other controls including increasing & decreasing speed, shooting & changing camera angles.
