What We’re Playing

Grand Turismo 5 (PS3) – The best is better than ever, but will any of us ever be able to afford a Ferrari P4?

Game Dev Story (iPhone) – If only we were as good at this in real life!

Minecraft (Mac) – We’re still addicted, as are many more gamers. True indie game hero, one of 2010’s best.

Trainyard (iPhone) – One man’s mad paint and train thinkings brought to life is now rightly a big seller. His tales on making it in the App Store is certainly food for thought.

Joe Danger (PS3) – Never has one man’s pain been so funny. It appeals to the same dark part of you that giggles when somebody falls over on all this ice.

Eggs in Space (iPhone) – Yes, this old chestnut. Testing is work don’t you know?

Ho ho ho – Christmas Eggs in Space is coming!

While John has been ironing out bugs on Eggs in Space we decided to throw together a little mini-game with a Christmas theme. If you buy Eggs in Space for your trusty iPhone or iPod Touch before the end of the holidays you’ll also get Christmas Eggs in Space. That’s assuming we get our first app approved by Apple before Christmas, but we’re quietly confident.

Aside from a sprinkling of space-snow and a few Santa hats, this mini-game comes with an all new evil egg – Ed Nog! He’s a floating snow-egg that flings snow balls at unsuspecting Spoons in a bid to spoil their festive fun. Think of him as the anti-Santa.

Chris has come up with a better Christmas tune than the X Factor could manage, I think he should call it ‘We Wish You a Wobbly Christmas’ as it’s a right naughty little ditty.

Now the race is on to get Eggs in Space out there in time for Christmas otherwise you won’t be seeing our little festive edition for another year!

What we’re playing

Filed under: Life — Phil @ 12:54 am October 28, 2010

When we’re not making games we’re playing games. Or sleeping. Or eating. Or playing darts. But most of the time you’ll find us fiddling with our phones and controlling our controllers. These are the titles that are currently lighting up our screens and keeping us off the streets…


























Leave Home (Xbox Arcade) - One for the ravers! Trippy, indie shooter with rave influenced name, look and sound. Best enjoyed under the influence of rave.

Reckless Racing (iPhone) - Not a big game, but a good one. Just needs a few more tracks to keep us playing.

Sonic 4 (iPhone) - New side-scrolling Sonic makes us happy Bees.

Minecraft (Mac) - I thought Chris was recommending Mein Kampf, turns out he said Minecraft which is as brilliant as it is blocky.

Fifa 11 (PS3) - Better than Pro Evil? We think so. Best enjoyed with good mates, rubbish teams and four controllers.

Halo Reach (Xbox) - Personally I'd rather go to Laser Quest, but the rest of the chaps are fraggin' and braggin' non-stop. Big worlds, big guns, big fun.

Cut the Rope (iPhone) - Top of the iPhone pops, a time waster extraordinaire.

Eggs in Space (iPhone) - Plenty of testing as we polish things off with our baby means spending plenty of time zapping our oval children.

Happy World Egg Day!

Happy World Egg Day! The eggs are a little scared of the International Egg Commission and their World Egg Day celebrations. But then again, the Eggs are noble beasts who would not want to find themselves in an omelette, so who can blame them.
