Remedy releases statement about Alan Wake on PC
By: Alex Yue | July 15th, 2009
Remember when I posted a news story about Alan Wake not showing up on the PC till after the Xbox 360 release? Well today developer Remedy issued a formal statement about the PC version of Alan Wake.
The statement reads: “It is accurate that we are currently working exclusively on the Xbox360 version of Alan Wake. PC plans are currently open, and therefore it’s safe to say that at least a simultaneous launch with the Xbox version will not happen at this late stage. Remedy has a deep heritage in PC gaming and would love to see a PC version available to its PC followers, ultimately however this decision lies with our publisher.” Read more… »
Indie Spotlight Review: Drop7
By: Chris Vass | July 15th, 2009
The iPhone is usually seen as the wild, crazy new device to play games on. Its accelerometer and touch screen control options make it a very exciting platform to cover and to develop for. Games that don’t usually take advantage of these options such as puzzle games are usually quite the achievers; quick, addictive and easy gameplay makes them perfect for the platform.
Drop7 from Area/Code takes the generic ‘dropping balls’ mechanic of similar games and changes it in a way which makes clearing a line of 7 balls one of the most satisfying experiences on the iPhone platform.

Gamer Limit Review: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
By: Paul Clark | July 14th, 2009
I went into Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince telling myself to have an open mind. I thought I was probably five to ten years older than the audience the game is aimed at, and all the wand work is probably designed for the Wii so playing it on my Xbox 360 may be a chore. As it turns out, I shouldn’t have bothered with all that open mind business, as the game was genuinely enjoyable from the offset. Read more… »
