![]() If you’re at all curious about it then download it and give it a go yourself, chances are you won’t be disappointed. Blast Aliens is a game that tries to do something different and succeeds. It might not look like much when you first launch the game, the graphics aren’t the best in the world and the menu can be downright annoying to navigate, but once you get a hang of the controls you’ll find yourself succumbing to the “just one more go” mentality that’s usually reserved for some of the most addictive games on the market. ![]() If you’re looking for a game that’s a little bit different than most of the games that you’ll find on the iOS App Store then Blast Aliens is at least worth a go. This little niggle won’t ruin your enjoyment of the game but it’s something worth mentioning, especially when it comes to the bulky nature of the iPad. With Blast Aliens it’s not at all clear why the player has to play the game in portrait mode and isn’t given the option to play it in any other way. Past experience has taught most players that this is the most uncomfortable ways to play games unless there’s a specific need for the game to be in that orientation from the gameplay. One of the major downsides of Blast Alien is the fact that it forces the player to play with their iDevice in its portrait orientation. This adds to the fun of the game on the whole and will almost guarantee repeat plays as players attempt to outdo themselves time and again. It sounds easy at first but when you start playing you will quickly realise that trying to keep your aim on your opponent -who will be constantly moving – while tapping the screen, is extremely difficult and takes great skill and dexterity to master. In order to do this the player must use a combination of tilting the iDevice, which will move the crosshair around the screen, and tapping the screen, which will fire off a shot. The gameplay revolves around a simple ‘quick-draw’ scenario, two players are placed into the scene and are both told to kill the other player, the winner is the first person to bring their opponent down. Simple really, but does the simplicity take away from the game experience or add to it? characters – and challenges you both to the same task: take down your opponent. Developed by Owzom Blast Aliens pits you against other players from around the world – as well as A.I. Blast Aliens is a game that aims (see what I did there?) to change all that. There have been a couple of first person shooters, maybe a few third person shooters, but that’s about it, I don’t recall any of them being all about how quickly you can pull off that famous headshot you’ve been bragging about for all these years. There aren’t many games on the iOS App Store that allow players to shoot other players in the face for the potential to earn lots of points. If you like what you read, click the small black “App Store” button to load iTunes up and purchase the title! Titles are available on iPhone and iPad unless specifically stated otherwise. That should be enough games to keep you going for another week. We’ve also got Blast Aliens, which is a cowboy styled shootout game, with aliens! Finally we’ve got Home Sheep Home 2, a game part created by Aardman Animation and starring their very own Shawn the Sheep. This week we’ve got some games from Chillingo in the form of Let Me Out, an addictive little puzzle game very much in the same vein as Little Lost Chick from a few weeks ago, and Stretched, a game that feels a lot like a mix between World of Goo and Contre Jour. ![]() ![]() How about some games that you can take with you? Providing you’ve got an iOS device of course. How about playing some games in our new ‘ Play Now‘ section. If you’re stopping off at this fine Monday afternoon then, first of all, thanks for visiting. ![]() It’s that time of the week again, and by “that time of the week” I mean the beginning. ![]()
