“There is danger afoot in this platform game, its time for our average Joe to jump into that phone-booth and emerge as a super hero.
With numerous powers including flight and heat vision, fly, run, burn and smash your way across 7 puzzling  stages, rescuing innocents and douching flames with your super breath!”

This is definitely one to put on your game shelf and perhaps one my favorite games ever. Square Hero is amazing!

Use your superpowers to save the day. Rescue all the trapped workers and fight the evil super villain! You can watch my trailer for it here:

Looks good right? So what are you waiting for?

Bioshock: The YouTube Movie

I have long been a fan of the BioShock series. The storyline in particular is what i quickly became fascinated with and the amazing special effects only added to the suspense, mystery and dark atmosphere which, when brought together, made for an incredibly captivating video game.

One of the drawbacks of playing video games, however, is that they can easily span over 70+ hours and there’s no easy way to replay all the cutscenes and relive the story without starting the game all over again.

Luckily, i happened to have come across a rather dedicated fan who went to the trouble of putting together a tribute video which combines the BioShock universe into one easy to follow and compelling video.

BioShock: The YouTube Movie “The Ocean On His Shoulders” by GhostieSays

I encourage you to view this video on YouTube and leave a comment as well as visit his YouTube profile for more BioShock related videos.

This is a fantastic piece of craftsmanship and is definitely something I’ll be watching again.

5 programs for making your own games

Many people want to make their own games but have no clue where to start. There are many programs out there and going through them all takes a lot of time and effort so I’ve narrowed it down to 5 game creators that i think are the best ones.

Game Maker (Windows and Mac)

Game Maker is by far one of the best i’ve encountered for making simple or complicated games. Complete with drag and drop interface and it’s own programming language (GML). Game Maker is perfect for both beginners and experts who want to make their own games. For those wishing to learn GML, a detailed video tutorial series by Wizirdi will explain everything about the coding language of Game Maker and will have you making your own game in no time.

RPG Maker VX (Windows and Mac (via Wineskin))

RPG Maker VX is an amazing tool for creating your own Role Playing Games. The program comes complete with Tilesets and Characters with which you can make your game come to life. There are many options for developing characters and monsters due to the programs ex curve and there are pre defined classes you can set for your hero, such as, mage, warrior, priest etc.

RPG Maker VX is available primarily on Windows. You can play it on a mac using Wineskin Winery, however, there are problems programing the sound. If you’re running boot camp, parallels or VMware Fusion you shouldn’t have a problem with the program.

A new version of RPG Maker (RPG Maker VX Ace) has just come out and combines all the amazing features of RPG Maker VX with the ability to create your own custom characters from within the application which is not available with RPG Maker VX.

Game Salad (Windows and Mac)

Game Salad is an application that lets you create games for both computers and ios devices. You can choose from a variety of templates or just start from scratch. By creating scenes and filling them with actors you can create fun, exciting games and then publish them to either the app store or your portfolio on the Game Salad website so that others can play your game.

Sploder (Online)

Sploder is an online game maker where you can use the interface to build a variety of games and then publish them to the site to be played by others. You can also cast your vote for your favorite games and share with others what you’re playing or you can enter the weekly game contest and prove once and for all that your game is the best one out there.

Unity 3D (Windows and Mac)

Unity 3D is a powerful game creator that’s capable of helping you make games that are suitable for just about every platform from desktop to ios and andriod to ps3. I’d say that Unity is more suited to people who have had experience creating games before, however, even new game makers should take a look at this program to see all the amazing features it offers. Using the Unity editor you can make games of the best quality for instant publication.

There are many game programs out there and it’s hard to list them all but these are some of my favorites for making and playing games. If you feel a certain game creator has been unfairly left out of the list or wish to say what your favorite game creator is, feel free to hit up the comments section and let us know. No doubt there are a number of other great programs out there that just need to be found!
