I have just found a new friend in iPhone game developer Strandlooper Animation. I have just begun to play their adventure game ‘Hector : Badge of Carnage episode 1′ and I couldn’t be more impressed. The art & animation in the game is superb. The writing is genuinely funny, especially if your a fan of British humor. (I am) And on top of all that, it is a goddamn ADVENTURE GAME. If you have an iPhone/Touch, and you like Lucas Arts & Sierra adventure games, and your not above potty humor, then pick this game up. If for no other reason than to support the return of a long abandoned genre.

If adventure games catch on again in the mobile market, who knows what might happen? Maybe we’ll get a new legitimate Leisure Suit Larry or perhaps a Quest for Glory.

Ok, I am almost 100% positive that this is the only time I will post anything about Twilight on this site… That being said, the above video involves 8-bit graphics, chiptune music, and adventure games. So it gets a pass.

I have never seen a “play by youtube” game before, but I sort of hope it catches on. It’s certainly an interesting idea at the very least.

I love adventure games. And I love that they are making a comeback. I also think the fancy graphics in the 2nd half of this video look really nice… But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a huge smile on my face when the 8-bit style font appeared and then the lovely lovely pixel art filled my eyes.
