May 30, 2013 Gaming No comments

Spacetime Studios logo legends seriesI’m a stat-head, I love statistics and numbers throw in some graphs, and charts and I’m there pawing and drooling insatiably. So, you can imagine what I felt as I read over the below email. Arcane Legends has passed another milestone and there a whole host of number and stats to go with it.

You can of course read the whole press release, but I’ve extracted all the stats here for your pleasure.

  • Arcane Legends, Pocket Legends, Star Legends and Dark Legends have collectively exceeded 250 million play sessions.
  • That equates to 64 million hours of gameplay, which works out to be 7305 years, or 100 lifetimes.

It’s all pretty incredible.

Heavy Gear Assault logo mechHeavy Gear Assault has been mentioned on this site a couple of times. A Free-to-play Mech fighting game that’s been in development for a few months. Well Stompy Bot, the developers,  have now launched a Kickstarter campaign with the view of raising $800,000 to help further it’s cause.

They first opted to raise cash on www.heavygear.com, raising nearly $120,000 Heavy Gear Assault website, their own servers buckled under the pressure of the success of the campaign. So with that in mind they have now started a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds.

One of the most popular features of the game are the destructible environments, and quite honestly who doesn’t like to see the walls breaking, bridges falling and buildings succumbing to your firepower. It’s all about the realism, well I guess mindless violence plays a part somewhere. have a look at this teaser trailer of a very destructible bridge.

Stinky Footboard gets Kickstarted

May 2, 2013 Gaming No comments

Stinky Footboard LogoIf you are at all interested in the uniquely named Stinky Footboard, a new gaming controller which allows you to allocate some controls to one of your feet you are likely to be interested in knowing that the Kickstarter ended today.

Stelulu Technologies, the creators of the Footboard set out to raise $75,000 in funds and walked away at the end with a little over £79,500. They’ve got to be happy with that.

So now they’ve got the funds there’s nothing stopping them from releasing the Footboard itself. The release is set for June this year, so if you want to get hold of a Stinky… (Hmmmm not sure that sounded right) you’ll just need the $119.

It’s out of my price range I’m afraid so it’s unlikely I’ll get to review a Stinky Footboard myself but you never know, one may drop into my lap from a very kind and generous source [smiles sweetly at Stelulu Technologies]… well it’s worth a shot.

April 24, 2013 Gaming, Trailers No comments

Mr Runner 2 The Masks Opening ScreenTwo weeks ago, I told you that the sequel to Mr Runner is going to hit the shelves, or at least the electronic equivalent whatever that is. Anyway, the day has come and Mr Runner 2 The Masks is now ready for you to download for your iOS device. Mr Runner 2 is the eternal and oft told tale of a man who wakes up to discover that he can’t remember anything and someone has put a steel mask over his face. The clue to Mr Runner’s identity lies in catching a mysterious stranger who definitely seems to know what’s going on.

I’ve downloaded Mr Runner 2 myself, and it’s nice to see that in a world of elaborate and confusing control methods there are still people out there who want to keep it simple. There are only two controls you need to master in Mr Runner 2, going faster and going more slowly. Read more
