All Aboard Train Conductor 2: USA review

All Aboard - Train Conductor 2: USA review

Voxel Agents new game has just hit the Android market and you better get on track.

I recently got an Android phone - my first smartphone - and whilst I was glad to have a navigational tool and have something to help me on my way, I was also looking forward to playing some of the games I'd constantly heard about. The games for the android aren't really dissimilar from those on the iPhone, but hey, I have an Android and I'm loving it, so why not check out a few games?

However, I was stumped from the get go, most of them I had heard in passing or were on the iTunes store, so I was drawing a blank. I eventually heard someone mention a new game called Train Conductor 2, a game by Australian Developers Voxel Agents. I was a bit hesitant at first, I mean how much fun can conducting trains really be.

The game is in the vein of games such as Flight Control, not just for it's transportation aspect, but also it's game mechanics of moving your desired mode of concern to where it's meant to be. I was going to get Flight Control, but I remembered that I'd purchased it off Steam some time ago and think that was enough. Flight Control is a bit repetitive and the music - while catchy - can be a bit repetitive. Train Conductor 2, never has that problem.

I often praise games with great sound and music, but I always feel like some games just capture the spirit of where it's set or where they're coming from when it comes to the sound design and music, TC2 definitely has that . The game takes place in the greatest country in the world: America - if you didn't get that from the title. You play a train conductor in Miami, initially and you have the cool sounds of a breeze and the gulls then a nice bit of funk begins to play as you're told by a red-headed girl that you will need to make sure these trains get to where they're going.

It's as simple as that, four tracks, several trains, no time limit and you have to make sure they don't crash into one another. The game is quite leanient with close calls with the game which add to the excitement, but if your trains are going to crash, they will crash. The game relies on fast reflexes and strategy, as you see one track light up, you may have to stop another train in it's tracks on number 4, just so you can slide the next one in from number 2, but wait, there's another one coming from number 1, what do you do then?

The game's difficult curve is mixed with over 7 different levels, as each level is barely similar to the last. The Miami level focuses on you making sure you can just maneouvre your trains from one track to the next, but once it becomes dark, the night takes over the game. Ghosts and Aliens roam the American countryside messing with your trains. These are my favourite levels as they aren't restricted to the game's toughest mechanic of crossing trains while making a move. The ghosts and demon trains will simply float through one another and it is magnficent during the challenge maps to see ten of them flow perfectly to where they're going in just a matter of seconds.

The game looks fantastic and has 3-D trains on a fairly 2-D background, but there's always something going on. During the Miami level, a shark swims under the bridged tracks, during the Roswell level, you'll see agents come and go and during the New York level, the underground can be quite lively. The game really situates itself with it's location and even though it kind of uses stereotypes, it never really detracts from the game. It's a bit like if they sat down with a big whiteboard and started with a bunch of levels and then just listed everything they could about those cities. Oh and finally, the character design of the girl is incredibly well-done and cute even. But during the Seattle level, she seems to have a minor crazy streak when you run over a yeti, saying I don't know what that was "but I liked crushing it."

In fact, I tried doing the tutorial later on to show someone she said that and she followed it up with "I feel like a sandwich," despite the lack of voices I feel like they have her character, if a bit mentally skewed, down to a T. Oh and there's also some evil guy during the ghost levels, but I think he just runs an old amusement park and is getting away with it, due to a lack of meddling kids.

The game looks like a triple-A title from the guys at Rovio or Half-Brick but it's just an indie studio here in Australia. The game's design and music is never boring or ever a problem, and levelling up to the next map is never a chore as it accumulate's how many trains you've conducted over the entire game. The levels do get a little bit out there at times with the paranormal levels such as the Seattle level where yeti-like creatures hide in the snow and block your path. I was half expecting Bigfoot to slowly come in Frogger style and cause havoc with the tracks and then you'd have to fix them.

The game has some strong leaderboards, even with a few thousand downloads and I cannot reccommend this any more than I have above. I know I'm usually meant to critique these games harshly but I feel like this is one of those games that just knows everything about what it's doing. The only criticism I have is that I wish there were more levels and that there were a Free trial version for iPhone users. I think the game is almost perfect, even for just a mobile game, I could imagine it being a great little XBLA or Steam game that you could smack on for a few minutes and enjoy yourself.

Grand Theft Auto III Now Available on Your iPad

Posted Dec 15, 2011 at 4:34PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: grand theft auto iii, ipad 2, iphone 4, Rockstar Games

The 10-year anniversary edition of one of the most beloved games of all times hits iOS devices today.

Love Grand Theft Auto III but can’t be bothered to pull out your PS2 or backwards-compatible PS3? Perhaps you want to steal cars and murder prostitutes at a local coffee shop or while waiting for a holiday flight? If that sound like you, then Rockstar Games’ 10-year anniversary edition of GTA III is exactly what you need, and it’s available now on the iTunes store.

Don’t have an iPad? No worries - according to the iTunes entry, the game is supported on “iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 4, iPad 1 and iPad 2.” I’m not sure how enjoyable GTA III would be on an iPhone, but I can certainly see potential for the iPad version.

The game has been optimized for a touchscreen interface, received a slight makeover with HD textures and contains all of the classic Grand Theft Auto action you’ve come to expect from the franchise. This is basically the game that started it all, so if you haven’t played it you should definitely give it a look. The mobile version is raking in near-perfect review scores – it’s worth the $4.99.

What is your favorite Grand Theft Auto III memory? Are you going to pick up the iOS version?

Got an iOS Device? Pick up Monster Trouble HD for Free

Posted Sep 29, 2011 at 11:30AM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: free games, ios, monster trouble, tower defense

Magic Dream Games brings their quirky tower defense game to the iPad and iPhone, and in honor of the games they have planned for next month, it’s completely free of charge.

The iPhone and iPad seem uniquely suited for tower defense games. Maybe it’s the touch interface, or maybe it’s the way you can jump into a tower defense game for small chunks of time, but it’s safe to say the genre is doing well on the platform. “Monster Trouble” has been out since February of 2011 and has seen glowing reviews and a fair sales volume, and now you can try it for yourself without risking any of your hard-earned coin.

The events of Monster Trouble revolve around you and your townsfolk working to protect your humble hamlet from the encroaching forces of evil and destruction. The invading army is comprised of goblins, ogres, and other monsters you’d recognize from games with a fantasy setting. “Monster Trouble” is a bit different from other tower defense games in that you first build defensible buildings, and then work on placing towers.

There are ten unique types of tower, but players only have access to three during any particular game. As with other tower defense games, the placement of your towers is often as important as the type of tower you use, since lines of towers can work as traffic blocks against angry invaders.

When you start the game you’ll have access to nine separate maps, but over time you’ll unlock new maps featuring new challenges. If you’re looking for a new game for your iOS device but you’re on a tight budget, it’s worth downloading “Monster Trouble” and giving it a test drive. The worst-case scenario is you burn some time you would have spent checking Facebook or ignoring work you should actually be doing.

Be sure to let us know what you think of the game in the comments!

Telltale Games gets on board the Wii U bandwagon

Posted Jun 10, 2011 at 4:37AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Wii U, Wii Tags: Nintendo, Telltale Games

Everyone's been buzzing with excitement about Nintendo's new hardware, Wii U, and apparently, Telltale Games is no different.

Said Kevin Boyle, "We'll always look at any new platform, and this is no different. iOS has been fantastic for us on iPad with the touch screen and we'll seriously consider anything in that vein."

They're not exactly too forthcoming about their plans, but while thye're "not making any promises, but we're excited by anything like that."

So will they be bringing in Sam & Max to the Wii U? "We're not big fans of closing any doors," he replied.

In the meantime, Telltale is busy working on their new PC title, an episodic adaptation of the hit TV series, The Walking Dead. Just the other day, too, they threw in another goodie in the consumers' bag by dating the final episode of Back to the Future: The Game.
