'Ms. Splosion Man' Hits the App Store

It looks like Twisted Pixel avoided being picked up in yesterda's coming tonight post because they decided to pull the "release everywhere at once" lever instead of letting the game drizzle out all over the world. Regardless, Ms. Splosion Man [$2.99] is now out in the wild. I saw it at PAX East and was totally impressed with what I saw.

Ms. Splosion Man got its starts on consoles, so the name of the game here is definitely "console quality."

Our forum members are digging the game too. We'll dive in a little deeper after GDC madness is over, but if you've been waiting for Ms. Splosion Man, mash that download link.

GDC 2013: A Look at What's Coming to 'The Sandbox' Creation Game

When we originally reviewed The Sandbox [Free] from Pixowl Games, we thought it was a pretty cool... thing. It wasn't exactly a non-game, as there were structured missions to complete and gaming elements, but they served as more of a tutorial for the broader aim of The Sandbox: to be a creation tool to do just about anything you could think of.

It was a really impressive piece of software, but we felt like it hadn't really reached its potential at that time due to some limitations in terms of content, a slightly stingy freemium model, and a few technical issues. Despite some of these small problems we still really enjoyed the game.

Well, that was almost a year ago, and The Sandbox has come a long way since then. With roughly 7 fairly substantial updates over the past year, most of our original issues with The Sandbox have been addressed, while simultaneously adding a ton of cool new features to the game. This includes tons of new elements and backgrounds, new missions, explosives, dinosaurs, new campaigns, and more. Not to mention Universal iPad support, Retina visuals, and iPhone 5 widescreen support.

So The Sandbox has really come into its own over the year it's been out, and users have populated the game with hundreds of user-created levels that really test the boundaries of what's possible with the game. Some of the user levels I've seen have been downright ingenious. At GDC this week, we got a taste of what's next for The Sandbox with the next couple of updates. Check out the hands-on video to see what's in store.

The Laser & Pipes update is slated for mid-April and will add a new 10 level campaign as well as the new laser and pipe technological elements. There will also be a new set of musical elements, and some of the user levels I've seen that create music are really incredible. In mid-May we'll see the Humans vs. Zombies update arrive, including a 15 level campaign, a Zombie job powder, and a search functionality for the online gallery.

Keep an eye out for these updates and more coming to The Sandbox during the course of the year.

GDC 2013: 'Skiing Fred' Takes the "Fred" Series in a Wintery Direction

Dedalord is continuing their series of "Fred" games, following 2011's Falling Fred [Free] and 2012's Running Fred [Free] with a snow sports themed version called Skiing Fred. Like the other games in the series, there is a ton of personality in the environments and with Fred himself, as well as a ton of gore and brutality. Here's some hands-on video from Skiing Fred with some commentary from the developers.

There's so many of these "running" kind of games that it can be hard to stand out, but I really enjoyed my time playing Skiing Fred, and it's literally stuffed with content in terms of customization and environmental elements. It should be launching sometime this year so keep an eye out for more from?Skiing Fred as that time approaches.

Gameloft Reveals Iron Man 3, an Upcoming Endless Flyer

Marvel's Iron Man 3 is just over a month from release, and that can only mean one thing: a new Gameloft official movie tie-in. Sure enough, the studio has announced the upcoming release of Iron Man 3 with a trailer full of flying, explosions, and, uh, more explosions.

Looks like the studio has moved away from the more adventurous aspects of the widely-criticized Iron Man 2, opting for a frenetic, combative endless flyer instead. If that's your preferred style of suiting up, you'll be able to check it out on iOS and Android on April 25th.

GDC 2013: Crescent Moon's 'Exiles' Brings a Science Fiction Spin to their Brand of Open World RPG

Crescent Moon Games put out a ton of different styles of games, but they are most widely associated with expansive role-playing games like Aralon [$4.99] and Ravensword Shadowlands [$6.99]. They're getting back to that once more with their upcoming science fiction themed, open world RPG called Exiles, and as with most their games it's quite the visual treat. Check out this brief look at an extremely early build of Exiles to see for yourself.

As I mentioned, Exiles is still in a really early state and there's a ton left to do to get things finished up. Crescent Moon hopes to wrap up and release the game later in the year, barring any sort of hiccups. I really can't wait as even now it looks really interesting, so keep an eye out for more on Exiles as development marches on.
