“Alien Domination” is much like the old arcade game “Tail Gunner”. In “Alien Domination” the player is a turret gunner aboard a deep space exploration ship. While looking for minerals the ship runs into an alien invasion fleet planning to attack the earth. The player’s job is to wipe out the attacking enemy ships so they can make it back to Earth.

The action is fast and furious as the player must destroy hundreds of enemy fighters, attack drones and even a couple of vast enemy space carriers launching attack craft like a shaken beehive spitting a swarm. Using two laser turrets, the player defends his ship in a 3d and 360 degree battle. Each level takes about ten minutes to complete. Between each level the player collects resources used to upgrade his weapons, targeting, shields, repair robots, etc. The player must survive six worlds of nihilistic action to complete the mission.

The graphics are just great; sharp and vivid with very pretty explosions. The enemy ships look menacing and move smoothly and quickly. The lasers beams are bright, clean and “accurate”.

The rock-pop-heavy metal soundtrack is of mixed quality at best and is terribly annoying at worst. But at least the player can mute that if they choose. The story, such as it is, is advanced through the conversation between the pilot and the ships AI. It is here the game really breaks down, as the voice acting is just terrible, sounding like a low grade 1980’s voice synthesizer from a techno-band poetry reading.

The creativity and innovation in “Alien Domination” is very low. “Tail Gunner” did this same thing in 1979 in an old styled video arcade game, as did “Space Harrier” in 1985 and “Sin and Punishment” did again in 2000. The developer has clearly spent most of its time and energy on the excellent graphics. So even within the narrow range of a 3d space “rail” shooter, “Alien Domination” doesn’t show the player anything new in either storyline or game play.

If you want a simple, mindless yet pretty space shooter that lets you dispatch alien hordes for hours and for a reasonable price of around 10 to 12 dollars American, then “Alien Domination” is certainly for you. If you want something more from your gaming experience, then look elsewhere.

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, If you love good action packed video games, Elemental Shooter is definitely one to check out. After looking at the preview and after actually checking this game out I will give it a rating of 4/5.

Buy The Game Now $6.95

The game is action packed, and intense. Elemental Shooter has good graphics, and the sound tracks have the tone of adventure.

You need more? Cool, not a problem.

Okay, this game, competition, encounter, war has begun. You’re on earth because that’s where you live right? The landscape is green grass beautiful flowers, beautiful blues skies and water. Bottom line the earth is absolutely beautiful with it’s vast greenery, and vegetation.

Then seemingly out of no where the enemies begin to approach you from all angles. You shoot, but you slow your role. Why? because one shot has blackened out and burned to a crisp the beautiful flowers, plants , and vegetation. So, you’re somewhat torn between shooting these enemies or keeping ( America) the earth green.

Okay silly, if you don’t shoot you won’t be alive to see the green. Okay so you shoot, and you shoot again and again. Trying to stay focused on your enemies you’ve lost your bearings, and fell into a huge lake. My advice is swim and shoot, just make sure you keep that gun shooting no matter what; afterall, it is a matter of life and death.

The enemy just shot into the water. Gee that water sure is hot. Hey, don’t sweat it, ( pun intended). Just keep moving, dodging, and shooting. There are some barriers of protection for you.. some nice trees, metal walls, brick walls, and plenty of buildings. Hey, those tunnels are not bad either. Duck and hide my friend, duck and hide.

As you duck and hide this will give you the perfect opportunity to reload. Speaking of reloading, how do you do that? Hey, you don’t expect me to tell you everything do you?

You gotta leave something for the imagination. Plus when you buy the game those untold things will make the game all the more fun, and action packed.

Okay three reasons to buy Elemental Shooter are:

1. It’s action packed

2. It’s very intense

3. You are in total control of your destiny

Three reasons not to buy Elemental Shooter are:

1. If you’re not a good shooter and / or dodger you will get shot

2. All of this shooting burns and destoys your surrondings

3.It’s pretty gory when you shoot those enemy forces

The trail preview should convience you enough whether to buy or not to buy this game.

Elemental shooter gets a thumbs up… it’s good enough to preview, it’s good enough to buy, it’s good enough to enjoy for the long haul.

This is an adventurous goofy but charming video game of clever puzzles. An outstanding presentation in an adorable cartoon style setting. Fantastic voice acting with of course adorable mechanical companions. Human and robotic alike. More pro’s to purchasing then cons.

There is Dr. Hugo’s Factory for making cute little mechanical companions of all sorts. Plus it is packed with plenty of humor. You will get to control five robots as they search the factory for clues as to how to open a mysterious metal box found. There are flamethrowers with deviously clever puzzles.Creativity with innovation exudes from this game. The sounds are so pleasing to your ears and nothing about them is annoying. Once or twice while I was playing the sound skipped. It is not very obvious and can be dismissed.

This video game will keep you on your toes and in amazement over the little mechanical companions. There is a goofy cast of characters, which are both robotic and human. Splashed in the game are hilarious nerd references with a silly dialog that actually makes it endearing.

Each robot has something to bring to the table. Knowing which one to use and what is needed will make you a pro at moving ahead. The puzzles are not that difficult however, they are most challenging. Close attention must be paid to your surroundings in order to know what you have at your disposal and what you will need to proceed. Clues and hints are given to keep you heading in the proper direction. They are subtle and you need to be aware. Excellent game but you can have frantic moments.

Overall on visual, audio and plots the rating for this video game is a 4.5 out of 5 in all categories. When they say great things come in small packages Puzzle Bots is it. Massive charm is delivered in a cartoon style delightful. A few technical problems do occur but can easily be ignored. At times the music can skip and puzzles can be blurred but do clear up. They are not very obvious and easily can be dismissed as the game is extremely entertaining. You may not even notice it. When I played this game I paid close attention to every aspect.

Once upon a time, all action games were like Jets n Guns Gold. Piloting a heavily armed yet highly manoeuvrable starfighter around unlikely structures in outer space and blasting seven shades of starlight out of all manner of alien beasties. Sideways scrolling shooters are back with a vengance.

Storyline and Gameplay

There is a story behind the non-stop action in this game, but it boils down to saving the universe from the usual alien threat, and is relayed by neat cartoons. Jets and Guns Gold is intense, fast and refreshingly difficult from the outset. No tutorial levels here, your little spaceship needs to hit the ground running! Controlling your craft with the cursor keys and firing using the spacebar (just keep your finger pressed down), you need to fly around shooting as much as you can while avoiding: enemy ships, enemy fire and the ground. Power-ups and extra cash float around (you can upgrade your ship between levels), naturally.

Exploding alien ships frequently eject their pilots, and if you can destroy enough of the stick figure aliens at once, you also receive a cash bonus from ‘viewers at home’ – a ‘body count’ ticks over along with the player’s score. If you die, you get to restart from the last checkpoint, you can’t ‘lose’ the game definitively. It’s a difficult game, but not unfairly so.
Graphics and Sound

The game’s sound is amazing. An apparently original soundtrack plays in the background, sounding a lot like 80s hair metal with a few electronic tunes thrown in the background. The opening music sounds like Bon Jovi covering the Knight Rider theme tune. All the various flashes and bangs are effective, too, even down to the little groans of the dying aliens.

Graphically, Jets and Guns Gold is also strong, with well-drawn alien spaceships and explosion effects, and slick scrolling and animation. The game is also efficient with its graphics demands, running like lightning even on the most modest modern laptop.

Creativity and Innovation
Given that sideways scrolling shooting games have now been with us for more than quarter of a century, Jets and Guns Gold manages to feel fresh. Perhaps it’s the nostalgia element. Or perhaps it’s the quirky sense of humour that has been applied to the game’s graphics – which results in adverts for weapons littering the levels, or signs saying ‘No nukes between 8:00 and 5:00′. Either way, Jets and Guns Gold feels like a new gaming experience and not just a rehash of past glories.

$29.95 is a significant price to pay for a game, but the sheer addictive difficulty of the game could lead to hundreds of hours of gameplay.

Buy Jets and Guns Gold if you:
* Like a challenge
* Want something uncomplicated and fun
* Enjoy brilliant music in games

Don’t buy it if you:
* Prefer a stronger plot
* Are squeamish about game violence
* Like more sophisticated gameplay.

BrainPipe: Simple, Psychedelic, and Sub-Cerebral
The independent developer Digital Eel has a history of creating games that go beyond the conventional familiarity of gamers’ expectations. After all, this is the company responsible for Weird Worlds, which was known for its “weirdness” (yes, an appropriate title indeed) yet won an Independent Games Festival Award in 2006. Their latest venture, BrainPipe, is another example of visual brilliance and non-traditional subject matter.

Playing BrainPipe is like traveling through the Matrix on acid. In a first-person view, you travel down a psychedelic wormhole, a twisting tunnel into the deepest parts of the mind, rendered in colorful 3-D graphics. You navigate through the levels collecting glyphs and avoiding obstacles. You also have the ability to temporarily slow down time, which is helpful especially as the movement through the wormhole becomes faster. A combination of atmospheric ambient music and classic arcade-style sound effects compliment the trippy visuals perfectly. The gameplay is simple, involving only movement of the mouse and left click to employ the time warp. So, instead of frantically looking down at your keyboard to find the right key to hit, you can focus on the intense theme of self transcendence that the game is strangling your subconscious with. That is perhaps the strange duality of the entire BrainPipe experience. On one side of the coin, it is seemingly a simple game of hand-eye coordination. But if you take the red pill…

As you go through the levels, BrainPipe becomes challenging, both visually and in gameplay. Gaming vets will enjoy the increasing speed; for casual gamers, the possibility of sensory overload may be very real. There is an addiction potential here too, as you restart again and again to beat your last score. Do you need another sensation of reward from the dopamine being released in your brain? Are you truly trapped within the freeway of consciousness in your mind? Who knows? Maybe the fact that you keep restarting is just a result of the game’s replay value (obstacles do not always appear in the same spots) and lasting fun factor. Even the menu was entertaining; the icons are all eyeballs that follow your cursor as you move it around the screen.

BrainPipe is a great experiment and well worth the $14.95 that Shrapnel Games is asking for it. You reach “Confusion” as an achievement in this game – that’s a testament to Digital Eel’s sense of pushing the envelope in game design and content.

Positech released an expansion pack for their latest downloadable strategy game called Gratuitous Space battles. The pack adds an extra playable race to the game, complete with new spaceships to blast apart in gratuitous slow motion. As well as new ship hulls, the game adds two new missions and a scattering of new tribe-specific modules to reflect their emphasis on ‘strong hulls and weak shields’. It also introduces
the first use of kinetic weapons.

Here’s a video containing scenes from the expansion pack:

The expansion pack is free for anyone who has already purchased Gratuitous Space Battles which costs $22.99 for new users.
