If you could see us now, you’d notice our heightened excitement, heavy breathing, and elevated heart rates. We had a chance to preview this epic scifi MMO for iPhone, iPad (and Android, and eventually PC) last February at GDC, and have been waiting with bated breath ever since. Got any gum?
Star Legends, nee The Blackstar Chronicles, is by SpaceTime Studios, makers of the highly regarded Pocket Legends MMO. This new game, set in a fantastic scifi universe, promises to bring the same seamless massively multiplayer action to a whole new genre and audience, improving upon an already successful MMO system. There is a ton of backstory and a whole new universe of content planned for the game, so we’re hoping for a nice long run of it. When we previewed the game at GDC, there were tons of art and backstory hung on almost every wall of the suite we met with the dev and PR team, making our inner scifi geeks squee with delight.
Here’s the description form the team’s Facebook page. Can it get any more exciting!?
The doors of the UCS Blackstar will soon open to privateers who have come to make their fortunes and fame, perhaps at the expense of their very lives! Rumors abound that the residents of UCS Blackstar have discovered an alien presence on a nearby colony. Seeing an opportunity to turn a quick profit, countless privateers leap into action to carve out their fate among the stars.
There was a delay in getting the iOS version of the game out, as the Android version has been out for quite a while.
The iOS version is a Universal app, and is available right now in the App store for free. Various in-app purchases are available, though if Pocket Legends is any guide, they should not be necessary for gameplay. Stay tuned here for our full review soon.

Section 5 of The Moron Test, Skip Day, has just been unveiled. Skip Day offers hilarity via a road trip to the beach with all the fun parts of the beach such as sand castles, kites and beach balls featuring. As expected by old hands at the game, there’ll be a few twists in the process. 
It hasn’t been until recently that I’ve really begun to explore my iPhone’s capacity for online gaming. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s certainly not the best platform for drawn-out battles, but it’s great for quick random matches. And it’s a good fit for a game like 
:: WET & WILD
Human beings are always the real monsters, aren’t they? It’s a fairly common twist to a story these days (so I suppose it’s not that much of a twist anymore), but to an extent I’d still call it a valid assessment. I mean, human kind has been trashing the planet for quite a while now, right? It seems natural to assume that sometime in the future we’ll be responsible for upsetting the delicate ecosystem of a planet full of innocent little blob-things simply by driving an interstellar tour bus too close to their atmosphere.
If the physics didn’t work this could be problematic, but it all comes together surprisingly well and makes for one heck of a fun and addicting game. Having to earn a set number of “drops” or whatever they are in order to access the next level is both maddening and brilliant. It forces me to replay past levels in order to earn a better rank, rather than just be content with my mere 1 drop and be done with it. All-in-all, I wouldn’t call that a bad thing.
At the foundation of Photovine is the idea that people like to share and discuss their photos with one another. Indeed, this truth is what drives much of the activity on social networks like Facebook. Users often post photos to see what their friends will say about them – and they like to comment on their friend’s photos as well.
