Chi-Town said:Got my latest issue of OXM in the mail.
The disc has the trial version of UNO Rush. Fast paced and fun.
Peggle Deluxe scores 9.5 and they have the price listed at 800 pts
CellFactorsychokinetic Wars scores 6.5 and is listed at 1200
Puzzle Quest:Galactrix scores 8.0 and is listed at 1600
Since it has the trial version of UNO Rush, can you "Buy" the game as well? Or does it come with an error?
If this OXM US or UK?

The Maw? Great! 160 pts???? Bah, shouldn't its expansions be 100 pts each????
"What do they say about the multiplayer?"
They describe it as "glorious". 2 players taking turns on the same board or 4 player over Live, "Peg Party gives everyone a copy of the same board and sees who can score highest".
"Since it has the trial version of UNO Rush, can you "Buy" the game as well? Or does it come with an error?"
Yup, it gives you an error when you try to unlock it.
"what is UNO Rush like? I don't think they've said anything at all about the game."
It's the same basic concept of Uno but really fast. Everyone's hand is visible(allowing for local multiplayer). The card furthest to the right(or left depending on where you're sitting)) is automatically discarded when your turn rolls around if it matches the color or number of the card in the middle. If the next card in your hand matches the color or number it will also go in. If you arrange your hand properly, you can get rid of several cards per turn.

I've never played a "tower defense" game before. Well I take that back... played a demo, and didn't really understand it. I wonder if Crystal Defenders is easy to get into. The draw for me of course is how awesome the screenshots look!

UNO Rush has to be 400 points for it to succeed.
Also: How the hell do challenges work if you can see everyones cards? :lol

Holy crap they're revealing the next project already? Three years of posting in hype threads confirmed. Not that I am complaining....

Cool. This is what I've been talking about - price creep is inevitable but they need to keep putting out some titles at 400 points even as the premium stuff gets more expensive. Also really glad to see Peggle is 800. I wouldn't have been surprised at all to see it at 1200 they way things have been going.

Louisiana: Mystery Cases is a modern full 3D adventure game with a stylish environment and catchy storyline. The year is 1902, and you will find yourself at a New Orleans suburb. The lazy summer sun is slowly penetrating the gloom of the local marshes, and yet the city is being overcast by a heavy creeping cloud of doubts and anxiety. There have always been a lot of murders in this neighborhood. Now, however, the situation is different. These killings are so brutal, lacking any apparent motive and too complicated to have been committed by a raging insane maniac. Before long they catch the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who is now sending their best special agent
Key Features:
* Technology Development When there is talk about adventure games, the technologies that make them possible to be brought to life usually take a back seat. We did our best to create a more spectacular project in a full three dimensional environment with innovative controls and a top notch quality engine supporting the most recent functionalities and effects.
* A Style with a Touch of Nostalgia Being a truly interesting era, the early 1900s combined with the attractive environment of New Orleans, Louisiana, is an unparalleled period combined with an unparalleled city, whose unique architecture enabled us to develop a really interesting game, in terms of design.
* Conversation as a Substantial Component of the Game - In conducting the investigation, dialogues play an indispensable role, which is exactly why we offer the option of the dialogs real-time segmentation into branched optional subdialogs. We strive to break out of the unwelcome trend followed by so many games that pretend to have their dialogs non-linear, but, in fact, they force the player to use all of the options. The structure of our dialogs goes much deeper, and it affects numerous aspects of actual happenings of the story that the game consists in.
* Point Score in an Adventure - We do not take into account whether a player finishes the game, but how he or she gets to the end. What we intended was to motivate players to think and contemplate their steps instead of making passive mechanical attempts to try every option available. To that end, we use an evaluation system based on what we call Detective Points. The game will assess the underlying logic and elegance with which a player is taking his or her steps to make progress as well as the players responsiveness to various situations. In addition to this, a high score will be rewarded with access to a bonus location.
* Detailed Graphic - Unlike in action games, the traditional locations (levels) in adventures are much smaller. This approach combined with our state-of-the-art technology enabled us to develop an extraordinary diversified and nice environment. We made the textures as well as the polygons more concentrated, which has substantially increased the quality of details.
Developed by Infinion, Louisiana: Mystery Cases is currently scheduled for release on PC summer 2009, but is also being prototyped for Xbox Live Arcade and PSP.
