Tricky Tracks Receives GOLD Award from Pocketgamer!

2009-08-21T09:45:00.000-07:00

It was hard enough trying to be upbeat about virtual train spotting when reviewing Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon recently, but landing yet another steam train-based game is enough to make anyone want to burn their anorak, rip up their notebook, smash their binoculars and go and get a life.

Fortunately, Tricky Tracks quickly reveals itself to be an ingenious puzzle game, and nothing to do with standing around on platforms clutching a Thermos and wearing national health service glasses.

There are vague similarities to Sid Meier's serious steam train strategising, but this is a far more light-hearted affair aimed directly at lateral thinking puzzle fans, and it hits its mark.

Merlin’s Legacy - Fantasy, Combat Game for iPhone

2009-05-14T12:25:00.000-07:00

Mobile games publisher Oasys Mobile announces the launch of Merlin’s Legacy, a high fantasy battle game, available now in the iPhone App Store. Developed by Floodgate Entertainment, Merlin’s Legacy merges fantasy role-playing with strategic gameplay elements, and distils it down to a simple but very fun and engaging game that everyone can enjoy.

Merlin’s Legacy puts players in the shoes of a young apprentice, studying under the famous wizard’s tutelage. When mysterious forces bring about Merlin’s demise, his protégé begins a fantastic quest, vowing to avenge his master’s death. Along the way, players do battle against a myriad of would be usurpers, who are also trying to take Merlin’s title for their own, wielding the power of incredible spells and fantastic creatures. Players can focus on a particular school of magic or mix and match spells as they progress through the engaging story line. The game also features Tournament and Endless War modes of play, each with unlockables that can carry over into the campaign.

“Merlin’s Legacy grew out of what we learned developing Civilization IV: War of Two Cities with Oasys Mobile; how to blend the strategic game play of two battling opponents with real-time action,” says Floodgate’s Creative Director, Paul Neurath. “Merlin’s Legacy takes this game play into the fantasy setting of the Merlin myth, where we are able to highlight the powerful spells that wizards throw at each other. It’s a blast to cast spells like Rain of Fire down on your opponent. Just watch out for your opponent’s incoming Ice Bolt!”

AppVee.com – “4 out of 5 Stars! Merlin’s Legacy is a great game that will keep you fighting for quite a while.”
