Re-Logic’s Terraria is an indie title that exemplifies the values of exploration, adventure, and dungeon crawling in sandbox-style, randomly generated worlds. 

Terarria is often incorrectly referred to by critics and pundits as “2D Minecraft” – there are definitely unavoidable similarities to Notch’s breakthrough title in the resource gathering and building department, but the games diverge heavily in their ideologies after that.

In Terraria, you’ll be using a pick and axe to cut down trees, mine ore, and build tunnels and shelter, but things shift significantly in focus and scope after that.  Rather than being focused on building great wonders and worlds with the available materials, you’re likely going to be building a functional “base” – designed to withstand invasion from a lot more than the zombies of the night.

Terraria places a high value on crafting, but it’s to greatly different ends than Minecraft.  You’ll be creating a wide variety of weapons and armor in order to delve into deeper and deeper layers of the world, darker and darker dungeon tiers that require flaming swords, fantastic flails, and even guns to survive.

Terraria is combat oriented, from defending your collection of NPCs at home base from onslaughts to going through the motions required to summon some of the big bosses that drop a variety of high end goods you’ll need to craft your elite gear sets.

Think of something like a new age Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: – side scrolling combat with boomerangs, grappling hooks, bows, and other equipment that works as more than just weapons.

To really get the five-star experience out of Terraria, you’re going to want to set up a server with some friends.

The game truly shines when you’re tearing through terrifying caves and dungeons with your buddies, and it makes the mining and building aspect of the game go much quicker so you can get right into the “meat” of Terraria – high adventure and advanced crafting.

If you’re looking for a sprite-filled adventure/RPG perfect for playing with a small group of friends, you need to stop reading this and head to Steam now and pick up a four pack.  Priced for the indie/casual set at $9.99, Terraria is worth its weight in gaming gold.

Capcom has recently announced that it will be scaling back on DS, 3DS and Wii publishing for near future in favor of making games for the Xbox 360 and PS3. And, in its recent investor report, Capcom went one step further citing the PS3 as its lead revenue generating console going forward.

According to the report, Capcom expects Playstation 3 related sales to account for 44% of annual revenue, this includes downloadable content (DLC) and 8 million units across all releases on this console alone.

Scheduled releases include:
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (Xbox 360, PS3)
Resident Evil 4 (Xbox 360, PS3)
Operation: Raccoon City (Xbox 360, PS3)
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD (PSP)
Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (PSP)

A Devil May Cryreboot and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record game are also in the works. Although Street Fighter 3D was one of the lead titles for the 3DS on launch, the system remains marginalized in Capcom’s plans. However, handheld sales as a whole is expected to be less than last year. Capcom expects a 64% decline in PSP sales from 2010, lowering their sales target to 2.2 million units versus 6.2 million in 2010. This could be in large part due to Sony’s plans for the NGP release.

The company did not mention Project Cafe in long term strategy beyond March 31 of 2012.

As you may already know, Qi trawls the web for iPhone game reviews from the world’s most respected online and print sources.

Qi then applies its own magic formula to each site (such as 148Apps, Macworld, and No DPad) to establish a single definitive Qi score for each iPhone app and game.

It’s got a great First Touch

Curling and dipping its way towards the top corner of the Quality Index onion bag comes the ferociously driven First Touch Soccer, a football simulation born out of the embers of the excellent X2 franchise.

In little over 90 minutes of playing time on the App Store, X2 Games’s world-class slice of soccer fare has mesmerised four iPhone pundits with its Messi-esque dribbling to score a netbusting 9.2 Qi rating.

Pick from over 250 club sides, 30 competitions, and seven game modes, and take advantage of the new Freedom Control mechanics to lead your Star Player to ultimate glory. Or at least one victory.

Pocket Gamer’s lead commentator for the evening Keith Andrew described the action in First Touch Soccer as, “comparable to any of its bigger brothers on far meatier formats…a consummate football experience, representing a new high water mark for the genre on iPhone.”

A Bug’s Life

Whilst the abovementioned FC Barcelona and Argentina forward goes by the nickname of The Atomic Flea, a similarly talented plague of insects flies onto Qi’s top ten chart this week off the back of a trio of critiques.

Chillingo’s monstrously successful Cut the Rope provides the inspiration for Avallon Alliance’s trajectory-based puzzler Jump Out!, which challenges your slingshot-firing mettle and your star-grabbing potential to the max.

A quicker than lightning update to Jump Out! swelled the number of levels to 75, each of whom – for ‘they’ do possess their own unique character, trust me – is populated by bumpers, nails, electric fences, marbles….

The variation in Jump Out!’s gameplay drew tidy App-lause from AppSpy: “the use of multiple screen-stretching room allows the puzzles to increase in challenge without resorting to gimmicky hair-splitting physics puzzles, though the occasional single-room brain tickler does break things up nicely.”

You can get the up-to-date information about which games are reviewing best over at the Quality Index.

Someone reported of getting ripped off when he chanced upon a nigh affordable Nintendo DS Lite over at eBay. Upon opening the package after a gruelling two week wait, he was grossly disappointed – alarm bells were ringing even before he opened the box since it did not feel as though it was standard Nintendo packaging as the corrugated cardboard box used was a dead giveaway. Upon turning the box to the back, even more visual clues gave the game away, with curiously pixellated English text.

Opening the package confirmed that this was a complete fake, but surprisingly enough, it still ran DS and GBA games in their respective slots. On the surface lay several tiny pockmarks, which fall short Nintendo’s high quality assurance standards. As for the inner bezel across both displays, they seem discolored at the edges, while the rubber pads on the interior of the upper display do not sit flush with the faceplate.

One of the major flaws would be the misaligned silkscreening on the back, sporting a slightly skewed, off-center angle. There are also issues with the Slot 2, as it requires quite a fair bit of coaxing before your GBA cart can fit in there. Never mind if you’ve got bootleg or original titles, they will still boot up properly, and the sight not no dead pixels? That’s a plus point. One of the better fakes around, that’s for sure!

Of the many great lines in the classic 1985 film “The Breakfast Club,” my favorite has always been the knowing enticement delivered by Judd Nelson’s character, the delinquent John Bender: “Being bad feels pretty good, huh?”

It most certainly can, and that is why the Grand Theft Auto series is so successful, both commercially and artistically. In its ambition, fearlessness, style and production quality, it stands apart from every other game franchise.

All sorts of games are about visions of power, often accompanied by violence. But most titles are set far away from what most people would consider the real world: off in outer space, on a historical battlefield, in a mythical land of dragons and elves. A distant, fanciful realm both heightens a sense of fantasy and allows designers to avoid tough questions about social responsibility.

Most designers fear those questions. Rockstar Games, maker of Grand Theft Auto, does not. The company appears to recognize that it is not necessarily irresponsible to portray the real world’s underbelly. After all, Americans love gangsters and criminals in their entertainment. Americans even like to see the bad guys win once in a while.

Grand Theft Auto IV and its tale of the Balkan immigrant Niko Bellic were a revelation last year. This week, Rockstar is releasing the first additional episode for the title as a $19.99 download available only for the Xbox 360 via Microsoft’s Xbox Live Internet service (it is not available at retail stores).

Called “The Lost and Damned,” the new episode is set in the same dark, vibrant, often hilariously sarcastic version of the metropolitan New York area that provided the backdrop for, and was the most compelling element of, the original game. While dystopian, this vision is not nihilistic. Like the original, the new episode conveys a humor, wit, intelligence and sense of cultural satire that, although sophomoric at times, at least never takes itself too seriously.

“The Lost and Damned” suffers from a few curious and unfortunate design decisions — players often have less freedom than in the original — that will probably prompt most to return to the original game after completing the new episode’s main story. But there is no question that it is the most fully realized, thoroughly produced and substantial downloadable add-on yet released for a console game. Anyone who enjoys Grand Theft Auto IV should get it.

From a business perspective, 2009 may be shaping up as the year when downloads become a viable path to develop and release significant console games; if so, “The Lost and Damned” will be leading the way. (The new episode will probably become available for the PlayStation 3 and PCs once Rockstar’s exclusive deal with Microsoft expires, but it is unclear when that will happen.)

In “The Lost and Damned,” the player takes the role of one Johnny Klebitz, vice president of a New Jersey motorcycle gang called the Lost. Johnny has been running the gang ever since its president, Billy, went into a drug rehab program as part of a plea deal. As the episode begins, Billy is leaving the program and returning to what he considers his rightful place at the head of the pack. Naturally, Johnny and Billy have different ideas about how the gang should be run and how aggressively they should confront their archrivals, the Angels of Death.

The writing here is as streetwise and sassy as in the original game, but perhaps it is somewhat inevitable that the scope of Johnny’s story feels much smaller and less epic than Niko’s journey last year. Ultimately, this is the story of a small-time biker gang in New Jersey, little more.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, you could move into a penthouse if you liked. In “The Lost and Damned,” your only beds are some ratty mattresses in a couple of filthy, run-down buildings. In Grand Theft Auto IV you could choose the overall vibe of your lifestyle (what you drive, where you live). In “The Lost and Damned” there is no way to change the hard-core thrash metal coming from the radio in your disgusting kitchen.

That’s fine if you like hard-core thrash metal. But a vital part of the Grand Theft Auto experience has always been giving players free rein to define their own tastes and preferences. The new episode gets away from that a bit.

In terms of the actual mechanics of driving and shooting, it’s significantly easier than Grand Theft Auto IV. It often requires you to drive a motorcycle (another contrast with the original game, in which players usually could choose from a range of vehicles), and the bikes’ handling is significantly more forgiving than in the original game. So while “The Lost and Damned” includes about a third as many missions as the original, it takes significantly less than a third as long to complete. I got through the main story in about 8.5 hours (and then spent about the same amount of time exploring and completing optional shootouts and races).

For $19.99, that is a great value. Despite its occasional stumbles, “The Lost and Damned” sets a new standard for what a downloadable console add-on can achieve. Being bad still feels pretty good.

According to figures from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 is ahead of the Playstation 3 by one million units in Europe and by 7 million in the US.

However, both consoles are being outsold by the Nintendo Wii, which sold 3 million units in the UK and 10.17 million in the US last year.

Microsoft is keen to point out that it’s leading in the total lifetime spending figures for each console. A total of US$13.2 billion has been spent on the Xbox 360 since it was launched, compared to US$10.8 billion on the Wii and US$6.1 billion on the PS3.

“Our goal for 2008 was to reach new audiences by bringing ground-breaking games and entertainment to Xbox 360,” said senior vice president of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business Don Mattrick.

“Looking forward, new waves of innovation will extend our position as the global leader in interactive entertainment”.
