30 seconds to live. Games for handhelds and smartphones, 2 week of February

At a conference of computer games developers, programmers Williams made ​​a sensational confession. It turns out that in an era of gaming machines (arcade games), the basic principle of development has been the rule "90 seconds", forces the player to drop another coin in less than two minutes. This means the ending of the game somewhere for 90 seconds, that the standard three attempts, or the game "life" is 30 seconds to live. Time is sadly remembered by many, and I still see the game up copying the hits of those years, such as MoonBase Defender. Nevertheless, the programmer himself said that it was such a principle has led to a sharp downturn in the gaming market while. However, the developers did not give up and, concealed in their gaming laboratories, began to create "the greatest projects of" our with you today. The evolution of computer games went fast. Things reached the point that developers began to appear in a puzzled way in public, throw up your hands and say that they really overdid: emerging now games for PCs and consoles are available only experienced gamers. Not so the case went to the PDA. After successful Tetris and Lines, developers, researchers here are largely dominated by genetic experiments - cloning and mating. Players were doomed to stack everything in the horizontal and vertical rows. Clones come across so far for the joy of collectors. Take, for example, Jewel Miner or Bitty Boom!. Then there was a new epidemic. Originated in Asia and transferred to the West. Sudoku surprised many people. Developers once again plunged into the laboratory produce new infection. Mating did not disdain and here. In an attempt to create a game atomic bomb, malicious followers of Dr. Moreau derived chimera Sudoku-Solitaire. With time on games for mobile platforms began to appear review. Began to assess the impact on health. Some researchers have even announced the therapeutic effects of shooters (shooters). For example, scientists at the University of Rochester announced that Unreal Tournament improves eyesight, while a Tetris-nd this is not observed. So shoot now as to go to the clinic. Moreover, that the known Call of Duty has already been migrated to the PDA. And generally keep an eye on health. Still, not a game. 30 seconds to life just is not enough.

Call of Duty 2. And it's so shoots and thumps in your pocket?

Journal Pocketgamer.org announced the big event for the Pocket PC gamer. The company together with developer Aspyr has released IonFx known shooter Call of Duty 2 Platform Pocket PC. Now all that is the focus of military operations can be carried in your pocket and deploy guerrilla attacks directly on the palm. Information is still quite scarce - the game is not even sold online, the only way to get it is to buy in American stores. Moreover, even delivery has not been implemented. Difficult to assume that prompted Aspyr for such precautions - the fear of too extensive guerrilla warfare or unwillingness to become a victim of hackers. For those who have the opportunity to visit the U.S. store - the price is $ 29.99.

ArithmeTick. I think, therefore - there.

Unusual approach to game development studio developers demonstrated Space Time Mobile. In each game must be some knowledge, they decided. And it decided correctly. After all, that at the moment are concerned, comrades, the public? The high level of violence in games. Get at least this saga of genocide dwarfs above. And that, dear friends, worried about developers? To play them were interesting and understandable to anywhere that will provide plenty of buyers around the world. And what everyone knows around the world? Of course, that twice two is four. This "law of well-known" open the way, the great Russian composer Vladimir Shainskiy, perfectly valid on the example ArithmeTick. It is only necessary to add, subtract, divide and multiply.All this for a while. If you slowed down with some sort of example for all subsequent time will be less. But not so easy for the second multiply 29 by 18. The game has four difficulty levels. I recommend just to get acquainted with the level of Genius. Takes not much time. Calculating machines based on neurons will appreciate.

MoonBase Defender. Few of the ray guns, they still rush rocks!

Well, if there is intelligence in the universe, necessarily insane, convinced the creators of games. They are now simply have to attack the Earth and bomb it to hell with what some pets. As can be seen from a variety of subjects, all of these campaigns have also some kind of strategy. For example, on a plan of The Web Lab, aggressive inhabitants of the planet Kron will try to capture the first moon, so that after use it as a staging base for attacks. What a poor deceit! At the same time, developers are confident of the company, they will not only shoot up to date on the time ray torpedoes (um, what would it be such), but also will throw stones - the world's scientists have learned to control the direction of the asteroid rain. At such a disorderly conduct our gallant defense responsible volleys of missiles surface-to-air, and yet one rocket will not explode, the second can not be started. Moreover, the missile should be sent by pressing the stylus to point the alleged explosion. The destruction of asteroids brings lower total scores, although they inflict the most damage. And vice versa, "spit" blue photon charges the enemy plates, hysterically rushing from side to side ("strategic navigation" according to developers), give the most points. In the game, unfortunately, neither the levels nor the settings. But to save the planet still have to ... The game is suitable only for fans of arcade genre - there are no options and no way to end the game prematurely, the only thing missing to complete the similarities - the presence in the PDA slot for the token.
