Pocket Gamer: The money, the glamourous trips abroad, and the almost ceaseless attention from beautiful people is all very well, but the world of mobile games journalism has one major pitfall: you have to play one hell of a lot of match-three games.
By rights, GameHouse's Collapse – no spring chicken, having originally appeared on the web many moons ago - has no right to bring anything fresh to the genre.
Zach writes: 'A few months ago, we took a look at three cancelled games that looked good enough to buy then and there. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of Gaia, Tiberium and Cryptid Hunter: The Legend of Kipling McKay all seemed to be primed for greatness, but were unfortunately cut short for a whole myriad of reasons.'.
I'd love for that, but I don't have much hope for Conflict and Fear Effect given Pivotal closing their doors over a decade ago and Fear Effect Sedna releasing...
Perhaps we could get the Collapse sequel one day though!
Only heard of Fear Effect from that list shame the latest game from that series was utter garbage.
For a mobile gaming platform the Windows Phone 7’s Xbox LIVE enabled catalogue seems rather light on puzzle titles. One of the staples of gaming-on-the-go since the Game Boy rendition of the ever-popular Tetris (which also has a version available on the mobile format), the ratio of puzzle videogames in relation to action titles, arcade classics and dexterity challenges is somewhat offset on Windows Phone 7. But of course, with there being such little competition it gives Collapse a greater opportunity to make an impression.
Gamertell has posted its weekly update of new casual style games.
This week's highlights include Westward IV: All Aboard (PC), Escape from Paradise 2 (PC) and Emberwind (PC, Mac)
