GDC 2013: Hands-On With 'Football Heroes,' An Awesome Throwback Football Game

Straight-up, if you were a fan of Tecmo Bowl, Mutant League Football, or any other zany old-school football game, you've got to check out Football Heroes. It's a throwback to those games of old, except updated with modern RPG, customization, and competitive trimmings. As you play, your players level up and you can acquire increasingly zanier moves. You can also name your own players, teams, and assign colors. It's a small thing, but as you'll see in our video, you can get some pretty hilarious results.

You might not get a sense of this in the video, but the feel of the game is fantastic. The movement is fluid and easy and the gestures make sense. Hilariously, this over-the-top football game is the best controlling football game we've ever played on iOS.

Football Heroes is due out at some point later this year. We'll be keeping our eyes on it, for sure. Oh, and here's that image of the new look (as mentioned in the vid):

GDC 2013: Hands-On With A Couple Of Gamevil's Upcoming Titles

This afternoon at GDC in San Francisco, Gamevil swung by and showed us a couple of its upcoming titles. The first was a Diablo 3-ish kinda game called Dark Avenger. It's got a neat art style and an especially smooth control interface. The other game was a weird match-3 that combines traditional matching play with a PVZ Zen Garden-ish persistent plant growing system. It's called Smile Plants.

We've got video of both, if you'd like to see. Our favorite was Dark Avenger, FYI.

GDC 2013: 'Pylon' is a Great Looking Hack'n Slash RPG Coming this Summer

QuantumSquid was here at GDC 2013 showing off a couple of upcoming games, and their Diablo-esque hack 'n slash RPG Pylon was looking incredibly good. I'll keep my introduction brief as we cover a lot of ground in this fairly lengthy look at Pylon, so without further ado please give our hands-on video a look.

There have been many attempts at Diablo-like games on iOS, with varying levels of success. My all-to-brief time with Pylon has me feeling very positive that this will be one of the winners, and I'm really looking forward to its release sometime this summer.

GDC 2013: 'Stellar Wars' - The Latest in the Liv Games Saga

Crazy about Legendary Wars [$1.99] and/or Monster Wars and find yourself wanting more? Well, Liv Games is hard at work on turning the "Wars" series into a trilogy with Stellar Wars which builds on the foundations of previous games with a sci-fi spin and even side-scrolling shooter sections.

Check out the hands-on:

The new animation system they mention sounds particularly exciting, as I'm a huge sucker for massive, massive bosses.

GDC 2013: 'Golf Star' by Com2uS Takes Golf Online

Golf games have always been great on iOS devices as both gesture-based as well as the three tap method of swinging the club seems to work really well with touch screens. Com2uS is capitalizing on this with an upcoming game called Golf Star, a free to play multiplayer golf title where you play against real people and can play in games with up to ten players.

Of course there's a whole in-game store filled with items and unlockables to work towards. Golf Star is coming soon, and we're totally stoked for it.

GDC 2013: 'Island Escape' is a Warioware-like Mini-game Collection with a Story to Tell

There have been a few attempts at bringing Warioware-like frantic mini-game collections to iOS, but I've always wondered why it wasn't a more popular idea. The mobile platform is great for these quick-hitting type of experiences.

Kooapps apparently felt the same as they are readying just such a game, though this time the collection of more than 70 mini-games (with about 40 more planned) is connected through an overarching narrative about being a castaway on an island. Check out this hands-on video for Island Escape as Stephanie from Kooapps walks us through some of the mini-games.

Island Escape is just about to enter a beta period and is expected to hit within the next couple of months or so. We'll bring you news of its release just as soon as we get it.

'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.
