Organ Trail: Here comes retro for iOS!

To my delight this evening as I opened up the Applications icon on my phone, I was greeted in the Featured section with a brand new game titled Organ Trail. The picture had what looked like a zombie on it, so immediately it caught my interest.

After much reading of the game and it's reviews (tip: on the app store, always read the reviews!) I found myself needing to buy the game immediately! Organ trail is a remake of the classic 70's retro game where you and 5 friends must reach other cities to survive a zombocalypse. It's a 64-bit, pixelated world of creatures, navigation issues and insane executions, all riddles into the price of $2.99!

The Good:
- A choose-your-own-adventure style game. 

Our team tried to ram through a horde. We failed...

- Every action you make has consequences. (I chose to stop off in a city teeming with rodents because I needed food, and now two party members have diseases)
- The pixel art is fantastic
- The music is fantastic
- Your taken back to the 'retro' days, which I love!

The Bad:
-It crashes a lot (Please note that the developers are working on this)
- There is no multiplayer
- There is no female protagonist

One of the game-modes, where you move around and shoot stuff!

The game-play itself has many different styles: a birds eye view side scroller as you shoot down undead, a side-scrolling road-trip where you experience many mishaps. The difference is really good, it shows originality.  
Although it is limited to a 2D world, Organ Trail shows promise of bringing back Retro to iOS. So many elements in this game have been well thought out, and it was my pleasure to have experienced a game still loved even years after it's first release.

Welcome to the MMO WORLD Bethesda...

Out of all the games to look out for, this is perhaps a very important title to have on your list: IGN Live: The Elder Scrolls MMO. That's right, a confirmed demo is to be released sometime in October, as Elder Scrolls is introduced to the wide world of online insanity!
There were mixed emotions however, from the gaming community. Some shouted with triumph as they dreamt of Oblivion, Morrowind and Skyrim fantasies combine with showing off 'canon' gear. Others thought this was a mistake on Bethesda's part, and believed that they were heading in to the world of monotonous gaming.  


I personally think it's a huge risk, and if they stick to the level-up process found in Skyrim, then people will be level 98 pickpockets/sharpshooters/necromancers in the space of a week. If they come out with original fighting sequences, a difficult level up schematic, and perhaps the ability to RIDE FLIPPIN' DRAGONS GARGGHHHHH! then they can take my money...oh yeah...dragons.....

What do you think? Is it too soon to say and judge this newest MMO? Do you want dragons to tame in the online Elder Scrolls world?

Oh and one more thing: There will be guaranteed subscription fees.....

*Queue loud groans from MMO Community now*
