Games for Pocket PC and Smartphone: a review of the June novelties

Psychopaths - a favorite subject of Hollywood, infiltrated now and the display of our handheld. However, in contrast to the serious lockjaw dubious Hollywood beauties, here we are waiting for a humorous look at things. Nobody is going to load your thoughts on the topic of crazy places in society and their risk for the average American, wherever he lived. Hail saving sense of humor, friends. Especially nice and close that it comes from a Russian studio Handy Entertainment. In this issue - just two games from them: PsychoPath and Dreamway. Month, generally failed. Another game from PDAMill, this time the studio acted as a publisher, however, issue under its brand name has meant quality. Incidentally, in the continuation of the recently released PDAMill Arvale: Journey of Illusion. Fighting dragons is still going on! Only this time in the Artificer we earn on it. Read this article also explain the mysterious stories of the dancing hippo Crazy Jack-e, a talent that for some reason, rushed to the scattering of bombs. Unable to understand the vicissitudes of life that drove him to such a drastic change in the profile of activity, I asked about it at the director-founder of the studio. In addition, extreme racing Dreamway, puzzle Plexus and helicopter simulator Chopper Flight. Have a nice day. And smile, gentlemen!

PsychoPath 2. Beware of the Car!

Heavy armored door creaked open. Red-haired man of medium height wearing a white shirt and striped trousers he turned his head and nodded to the orderly at the door. He waved back huge ruchischey. "You have this one - he boomed a deep voice in farewell - easier out there on the loose. As the doctor ordered." Redhead cute smile and a confident gait he went to the car. Understood the bloody dawn. In the distance loomed the first pedestrians. On a plot of the game only coming out of the gate hospital, our hero back into her old ways and throws crush of pedestrians. The more moves, so he'd better. Nemostrya on krovozhany scenario, the game was done with humor. It all begins with early birds - old women with terrible tousled hair and string bags in their hands, funny scream "Ouch" at running. After them, there are punks with flame-red trim and the Iroquois chistyuli-businessmen and diplomats, hurrying to work. For the defenseless old ladies who are unable to escape from the crazy driver, led the way, our hand, we get 5 points for punks - 10 for business - 20. Recipe of the first stage - for 110 seconds "squeeze" of pedestrians at 1000 points. With each new stage, new actors and new obstacles. Thus, the second phase added skateboarders, shouting "Get out!" careening past (30 points), and on the third level lazily crawl to work road workers, poked around road barricades to slow down for a couple of seconds, the vehicle speed. So try to crush the workaholic before they begin active work. And on the next, the fourth stage, everything becomes much more difficult. By noon on the job beyond the notorious traffic police you with magical striped sticks. You can violate, abuse can drive without a license - is not prohibited, but not run - it, that's impossible. What hypocrisy! Blue cap will run after you on the road until you try to push even pedestrians. Important - not to collide with the same purpose, because then ... "Get out. Hands on the hood. Documents. Tak soooo. Unwell, I mean. Where I got a certificate of mental health problems? But will pass, comrade." Returning to the hospital involuntarily ask ourselves a classic question: "Why do old women killed?" On the quality of "psychopath with a big road" is one of the best games I tested this year. Firstly, the rarity of unusual, but neat, comfortable and attractively done the main menu - everything is intuitive and without unnecessary details, such as reassignment of functions of the buttons, so beloved by other developers, and the choice between OpenGL, Direct3D, and other opportunities, korobyaschih hearing. We only have four movements to the joystick, however, preferred to play a stylus.Beautiful funny characters with funny sounds. Incidentally, the audio portion of would like to mention separately, it is really good: the original musical accompaniment quite irritating and suitable topics, and cries of pedestrians forced smile. Passage. More points you can score if you keep the car at the top of the screen. Also, do not succumb to emotions and not chasing pedestrians escaped, only time will spend. Discount!
