Lovely Planet Follow-Up Focuses On Arcade Action


Posted on July 14, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Do you remember Tiny Build’s 2014 colorful FPS Lovely Planet? Well the publisher is back with a direct sequel to their heart filled, pastel colored shooter that focuses on FPS action. With four unique worlds for players to explore Lovely Planet Arcade offers up hundreds of levels that will test your jumping, strafing and shooting skills. Once you’ve beaten the arcade mode all of the levels can be played in either Fast or Mirror mode for an additional challenge.

Lovely Planet Arcade is available for pre-order on Steam for $5.99 USD but if you want a taste of Lovely Planet’s action without putting down any cash Tiny Build is giving away the 2014 original in partnership with Bundle Stars & PC Gamer– so make sure to head on over there and redeem your free key while supplies last.

In their official blog post Tinybuild described Lovely Planet Arcade like this:

“2014’s critical-hit Lovely Planet had us flying through the skies, carelessly spraying bullets in the clouds. It’s time now to hand in your jump boots because we’re going back to the shooting range for some old-school action in Lovely Planet Arcade! Buckle up for close quarter combat through tight corners sprinkled with trigger-happy baddies eager to send you back to the starting line!”

Check out the launch trailer for Lovely Planet Arcade below and let us know what you think of the game in the comments section.

Here Are Your PlayStation Plus Contest Winners


Posted on March 30, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Our PlayStation Plus contest has come to an end. I apologize in taking an extra 12 hours in getting these winners out. We had quite a few entries through social media – with about a dozen likes on Facebook and just as many re-tweets on Twitter.

Without further-a-do our two winners are Matt Bassett, who entered via email, and Terry WIlliams (aka @Moononite on twitter) who re-tweeted our original post.

Look for more giveaways coming very soon. March may be coming to an end but we still have several ARMA III codes and a few Steam games, so let’s extend this giveaway stuff into next week!

Warlock: Master of the Arcane Giveaway


Posted on May 30, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

The sinister cabal that pulls my strings like a puppet has told me that the time has come to initiate Operation Warlock Wednesday. To celebrate this auspicious occasion, we’re giving away copies of Warlock: Master of the Arcane. If you are unfamiliar with Warlock, it’s a turn based strategy game set in the Majesty universe. Our benefactors want you to think of it in terms of Civ 5 with werewolves, giant rats, and sorcery. In truth, it’s a buffet of dark knowledge that corrupts all who partake.

Never mind, I was thinking of something else. Warlock pretty much is Civilization with mythical bestiary and magical powers. Also, it was donated to us by Paradox Interactive, rather than the Illuminati.

As per our M.O., You will find Steam keys for the game hidden in our articles, Twitter, Steam group, or Facebook page.

Magicka Collection Giveaway


Posted on May 23, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

The news about the Dead Island Game of the year Edition made me nostalgic for countless cooperative games from the halcyon days of 2011. Well, we don’t have copies of Dead island to give out, but we do still have some keys for Magicka, an excellent cooperative game where you can “accidentally” kill the other players. You will find Steam keys for the Magicka collection hidden in our articles, Twitter, Steam group, or Facebook page.

We’d like to thank Paradox Interactive for the free keys.

DustForce Giveaway


Posted on May 16, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

I don’t know about you, but I tend to procrastinate a lot. For instance, I’ve just started my spring cleaning. It probably won’t be finished until September.

In honor of my cleaning efforts, we’re giving away copies of the indie game DustForce, where you play as a really acrobatic janitor. There are 50 perilous levels to clean up, so I guess this counts as a hardcore janitor simulator. You can find steam codes for the game in our articles, Steam group, Facebook, or Twitter.
