[book] The Player of Games (Culture #2) by Iain M. Banks #review

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18630.The_Player_of_Games
Looks like Friday is becoming the day of blogger for me. I don't think that all 10 books from Culture series one by one is a good idea. I haven't read every anyway and the second is the most relevant to blog topics and brilliant as for me too.

[movie] Riddick #review

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411250/
Riddick is surprisingly good, #CG is strong and stylish, the rules of genre are kept, maybe a bit too long #movie.

[gamedev] Game Developers Conference 2014 #gdlviv

I've attended  Game Developers Conference 2014 last Saturday. It's taken about 10 hours, so lots of impressions to share.

[unity] The Dark Side of Unity #gamedev

We've done a large part of work on our first game on Unity to lose First Impressions prefix for article and to get not positive impressions only %)

Unity programming slowly but steadily becomes more and more like hell. The reason is the really unstable functioning of MonoDevelop (version 4.0.1).
- IDE in some cases is irresponsive and the simple switching for another window and back can take a couple of seconds. However, that is bearable. It’s much worse, when the text scroll stops working all of a sudden or the autosuggestion disappears and the scroll position can change after saving – such small bugs never existed in FlashDevelop. Well, those things can be lived with too, but when it comes to debugging real trouble begins.

[socialmedia] Klout #article

Looks like it's blogger day for me today. Here comes one more article scheduled 2-3 weeks ago.

It's going to be one more experiment with article format. Let's split it to theoretic part and practical howto. 

Theory
Clout may refer to political or social power. In social science and politics, power is the ability to influence the behavior of people according to Wikipedia.

[book] Consider Phlebas (Culture, #1) by Iain M. Banks #review

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8935689-consider-phlebas
I have nearly no spare time at all recently and reading one #book a month, To fix the situation I've decided to review my best ever favourite #books old but still amazing.

Consider Phlebas is Culture, #1 by Iain M. Banks. It's so old that Kindle addition is not avail for affliates at Amazon, so the paper version on banner %)

[movie] The Internship #ad #review

http://amzn.to/1eXSyLm
The Internship is in focus today. I like commercials and worked with video advertising for a long time, so maybe spoiled.  Nearly all time watching the #movie I had a feeling that I'm watching Google's commercial, long and anyway %)

[flash] ElectroAppliances #game

[html5] Aquatic #game #review

http://m.eplusgames.net/aquatic1/
Always great to meet a new #gameplay. It's not actually new, it's matching #gameplay variation and it completely redesigned for touch screen that's really good :) Addicting as hell, hardly made myself stop at 4K+ points, You know, don't even try it :P

[dev] Windows Phone Store #gamedev

Now I'm proud Windows Phone developer too! +1 #mobile platform to iOS and Android :) Cheap and easy so far ;)

[Windows Phone, Android, iOS, !FB] Fruit Ninja #game #review

Fruit Ninja – I (Arthur) played it once more. Avail and tested on Windows Phone, Android, iOS, tested and  not avail for now on Facebook in browser and not tested on Amazon Kindle and Kinnect version on XBOX 360, so not tagged. 

The last time I played Fruit Ninja was almost a year ago and not much has changed since then, in fact, I think it’s way too monotonous and becomes boring quite soon. It simply was in the right place at the right time and “came to light”.

The game has three modes: classic, arcade, zen.

In the classic mode there’s not much fruit and there are flying bombs. If you slash one of them, the level ends and those bombs are slightly annoying. You also cannot miss any fruit and after three falls the game is over – but that’s bearable. Fruit aren’t really that random and after 10-15 you can subconsciously guess what fruit will come out next. There are also super-rare fruit, which provide you with a lot of money.

[html5] Hatch the Egg #mobile #game

http://m.eplusgames.net/hatch/
Cute character and proper Socoban #gameplay implementation, better play on small #mobile screen, graphics is not vector/procedure generated/scalable :) #html5 #mobile #game

[movie] The Last Stand #action #review

http://amzn.to/1aI1NwT
I've watched the movie at 60 frames per second for the first time. First it looks like theatre, looking in window or in aquarium. In half an hour or so You get used to :)

The film looks like the mix of western #movie and Need for Speed #game, action is strong and here rocks still :) Good 8/10

Get @ Amazon:

[Windows Phone, XBOX, iOS, Android, OUYA] Square Off #game #review

Today in focus is Square Off . It's my first #game review with OUYA version :)

First of all I like loaded trip-hop sound track, then oldschool graphics stylization in intro and best of all that there is a version for my Windows Phone :) Free version has permanent banner and completely playable besides this limitation.
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/square-off/3a3e5ed5-6570-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8

In game music is still great, active and not too electronic. Controls are similar to Halo: Spartan Assault (next in review queue), now too easy to jump in for #PC #gamer and looks like the only solution for the #shooter on smartphone and natural for #console #gamers.

Cartoon graphics, perspective and depth for 2D view enhancement and proper #hardcore rush gameplay makes really good game. I've played several levels and going to play more and maybe buy the full version too. And just forgotten a bit too cute but still great designed characters and aliens for sure :P

Available on Xbox 360, iOS, Android and OUYA, 9/10 Recommended.

Have an amazing day, see You, work less, play more (c) ;)

[Android] Draw slasher #mobile #game

Tested on Android Sony Xperia Play so tagged #Android. Also avail on Playstation Vita and iOS, no Windows Phone version found %)

Draw slasher – I (Artur) won’t write much about it, as there’s not that many features in the game.
The game isn’t big, but with a high quality: the sound, drawn graphics and minimal, but at the same time cool gameplay. The game has several modes with no difference, to my opinion, and only 3 enemy units. However, despite such poor realization, there are many positive reviews on the game as a some kind of a quality time-killer.
