• Out of the Frying Pan… Radiangames Inferno [Review]

    Radiangames continues its beautiful shooter series on Xbox Live Indie Games with the third release in the series, Inferno. We loved the first release JoyJoy, but weren’t too keen on the follow-up Crossfire… so the great news is that Inferno is pretty much a maze-orientated version of JoyJoy.
    With some great level design, gorgeous visuals and [...]

  • So We’ve Got This Thing Called a Forum…

    So get this, true story, there are these things all around the world wide web (the internets!) that are called forums.

    • N/Ninja vs. Minecraft [Tournament]

    May 7, 2010

    by Geoff Gibson


    NinjavsMinecraft

    Our last match up for the week and I gotta say, while the games might not be as large, I’d say that this is one of my favorite match ups, both games are fairly simplistic and yet totally complicated at the same time. It’s fascinating the way some of these games got randomly matched up. Anyway, without further ado, I bring you N/Ninja vs. Minecraft.

    Up first we have the extremely popular Ninja platforming game N, which has been empowering ninja fans since the middle of this past decade. Over the years we’ve seen many iterations come out. While each brings with it new levels, and new levels of fun the one thing that remains unchanged is the incredible addictiveness of these titles.

    Not to be counted out so quickly, however, is Minecraft. While not technically “released” anybody (you, me, that guy) can play it right now in it’s alpha stage. For those that don’t know about this game yet, it is basically a build whatever, destroy whatever type of game. While offering simplistic graphics, there’s nothing more satisfying that building a huge monolithic tower to keep the rampaging zombies out.

    So which will it be? Only one can move on. Choice is yours!

    Other Match-Ups running right now!

    Shattered Horizon vs. Crayon Physics
    Knytt/Knytt Stories vs. Altitude
    Love (MMO) vs. Adanaxis

    UPDATE: Guys, I know it’s just called N, or N+. I’ve cleared this with the developers already. Fact of the matter is that some people simply consider it as Ninja. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. It was a request and we went with it. It’s not a huge deal though, don’t stress out too much about it. If N wins, I’ll consider just calling it “N” for future match ups. Thanks for participating.

    P.S. You guys rock, I never expected so many people would hit the voting booth, so to say. Thanks a million for supporting your this tournament and your choice, no matter which it may be.

      N is undoubtedly one of the best games to hit the internet, and to also form one of, if not -the-, greatest online communities.
