It’s impossible to not fall in love with the Raskulls, the adorable stars of the similarly named Xbox Live Arcade game. Fruit Ninja developer Halfbrick Studios did a wonderful job populating this colorful 2-D adventure with adorable skeletons in different guises, from a pompous king to a speedy ninja and even a bag of bones dressed as a dinosaur. Bottom line, it’s a toy line waiting to happen, but cute doesn’t necessarily make for a quality experience.

Gamer's Guide to Life.com, Monday 20th June 2011: Music is a generally-overlooked component of videogames, at least from the player's perspective, some background to the main product that (often) many don't notice. However, creative decisions about videogame music can be essential to creating memorable videogames, argues Andrew Testerman.
"Many games benefit from a large scale, orchestral approach, but the best soundtracks are the ones that best suit the game, and to preclude using MIDI compositions simply because they’re old would be a mistake."
New DLC pack for Raskulls hits the marketplace
Nice. I didn't think I'd like this one, but it turned out to be more fun than I thought.
