As they say, smoke ’em if you got ’em.

No Comments on Exclusive Interview: “Gregg” Creator Yann Berthier

In many games, you’re a good person. You’re the superhero stopping the supervillian; you’re the human solider saving the Earth from invading aliens; you’re the cop fighting crime on the mean streets. But in the game Gregg — which Namco Bandai have released for both iOS and Android devices — you’re not the good guy, but an outside force trying to protect the good guy. Or the good bird as the case may be. Though as its creator, Play Fripp’s Yann Berthier, would like to point out, this isn’t like that other bird game you might know.

No Comments on EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Maze Crusade Developer Britt Myers

Sometimes life feels like you’re running around a twisty maze with a wall of spikes chasing after you. For those times when it doesn’t, though, you can play Maze Crusade, a new iOS game from Britt Myers, who previously made W.E.L.D.E.R. Though in talking to Myers I learned that some obvious influences on this game weren’t really influences at all.
