VIDEO: Without a doubt, the most epic game of rock, paper, scissors ever crafted
Matt Hawkins Along with ghost hunting, plus monster fighting, in a haunted manor… both via that thing in your pocket.
As much as I love my traditional consoles and handhelds, I also dig stuff on the iPhone a whole lot as well… the thorn to the side of many hardcore gamers. Many claim that iOS games are hardly comparable to offerings on “real” game machines. Guess what? They’re totally right.
For the most part, their scope are comparative primitive, as is the actual act of interacting with said game. Granted, there are exceptions to the rule. Sword & Sworcery being perhaps the best one, even to this day. But it’s not like everything you find on the PS3 or DS is necessarily “sophisticated.”
Many iOS games are deceptively complex. But not all, which try to offer something a tad bit less ambitious. Which is totally fine. In those cases, I don’t mind mindlessly swiping and tapping the screen, for just a two subway stops, so long as the presentation is top notch. Take rock, paper, scissors for example: why would ANYONE bother with an iPhone version of such a game? Why not? So long as it looks like this…
The best part is that it’s technically free! Well, I say technically, cuz to enjoy most of the cast, you’ll have to fork over a buck or two, per the popular freemium business model. But considering how awesome everyone looks and animates, there’s little doubt that Age of Monsters will make money. Though the lack of a single player component is the real deal killer. At least you can mess around in training mode. Yes, there’s a training mode for a rock, paper, scissors game.
Another iOS title worth checking out, especially since Halloween is right around the corner is Dark Meadow. It’s basically Infinity Blade, which means its visuals are top notch, rivaling some console offerings in fact. Which is great, since it helps to offset the fact that the level of involvement is fairly on the light side. Though there appears to be a bit more interactivity, plus I’d much prefer chasing a naked girl ghost than some huge oaf in armor…
