Funny. The game that brought me back to active gaming was Spore

I stopped active gaming and looking at new stuff (execpt Arma and Arma2 which I played always CoOp in good clans) for years but the game that enlighten the flame again was ... Spore.

It was so perfectly staggered, from microorganism to an interstellar race that has to deal with
other life-forms. I loved the user interface, the sounds, the humor.

But the fact that the decision you made at the start always were visible and important was mind blowing for me.

The additional packs were well unnecessary but funny.

So I hail to Spore and EA here.  Just a reminder.

Freebie On Origin, Hurry, Theme Hospital

My life is keeping me from testing the many steam games I bought at the winter sale, and besides RL I am working hard on my "art" game in Unity.

BUT head over to Origin and get Theme Hospital.

It is sooo 1997 and the humor is actually getting "modern" again.
When you see Darth Vader and the main boss from this dungeon management game in the reception of a hospital...I forgot the name you think, OK, wtf.

Ballpoint Universe : Infinite

Yes. It is a hand-drawn shooter with some jump'n'run intermezzos.

The shooter sequences are a bit boring. I like the style of it, so if you are an shumps (?) fan with an affection for hand drawn animations then this might entertain you.

Deadnaut - Abstract yet real ?!

(Before I forget it : Happy new good 2015 and may your hardrive be with you !!!)


I am too tired to make a full analysis right now, buuut :

Have a look at Deadnaut. Besides it's marvelous design it is the claustrophobic experiences of a crew of astronauts who go onto dead ships in space and havoc them.

Actually you are their captain, sitting in your chair in the exploration ship and you control and oversee them.

After a few minutes I had a strange feeling. This game utilizes some techniques I did not see so clearly extrapolated in other games.

I have to examine this one further !!
