Gaming news: two Inscenic games go free; two new racing games by OmniGSoft
Inscenic (known for their great
Stratego clone
NapoleonX,
Warring Nations and
Creatonia) have just made their well-known
Galaxy Gate and
Retro Detonation free.
The former is a puzzle game; the latter a Bomberman clone and, for free, are highly recommended. Make sure you get them!
Not so with
OmniGSoft (see my last review / list of their games
here), who have just come out with a new game,
Snow Rally, with two maps: one for
Canada, the other for
a city.
Unfortunately, the problems traditionally plaguing all (!)
OmniGSoft racing games (no OpenGL ES (3D hardware accelerator) support (before you ask: yes, I've checked this on my x51v), low-resolution graphics (as opposed to
Raging Thunder even on non-accelerated VGA models!), no multiplayer, a 3-4 sec (for the menu, some 10-12 second long), really low-quality, mono music clip endlessly repeating, mono sounds, overpriced) are present in these two titles too. Therefore, I don’t really recommend these two games – there are much better racing titles out there; for example, (the 2D top-down title)
K-Rally,
Raging Thunder; several
Mario Kart clones or, if you have a 3D accelerated Windows Mobile device,
Stuntcar Extreme & GeoRallyEX. I think you’ll want to check out the latter titles first.
