When you were younger did you ever play the game where you described your ideal video game?


You'd give it a title

You'd give it a genre

You'd then go on to describe the look and feel of the game

You'd explain the story

You'd describe the gameplay

You'd then go on to explain the aim of the game

☆"Fallout New Vegas" - Game Diary 1☆ #GamersUnite

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

2 years after finishing Fallout 3 I decided it was time to be consumed by the post apocalyptic wasteland again.

 

Fallout New Vegas was my experience of choice this time and this time I've decided to trial the documenting of my Mojave Wasteland journey.

 

This could make for good video games journalism or it might just end up being tedious.......but I'll give it a go because I'm sure that buried within the Wasteland is a Story to tell.........

Football, "The Beautiful Game" 

is a love so very dear to our heart.


So if you were to cross football (soccer) with Pixel Art & video games then we are in seventh heaven


As you can imagine, when we stumbled across 8 Bit Football.Com it was our dreams come true!


The guys at "8 Bit Football" draw football players in low resolution........a simple mission but boy are they good at it....

The pixel art is Sensible Soccer-esque but with even more added character.

All the footballers and scenes are instantly recognisable to any serious football fan and we found it like reading football comic book as we relived some of the memorable moments from seasons gone by in not only the domestic game but also the international game.

Feast your eyes on some of this marvellous pixel art work by the 8 Bit Guys














Not just satisfied with producing these amazingly cool Pixel Art masterpieces the guys at 8 Bit Football are working with the Indie Game Developer "Super Rock Games" from London in order to develop a video game in the mould of Sensible Soccer and Kick Off and they are calling it....


They are currently beavering away on the match engine and honing the game play. 

But due to the small nature of the game dev team and the BIG ambition of this brilliant project, they have instigated a KickStarter funding campaign to make it a reality. 

They will soon launch the campaign on Kickstarter and will need ALL OUR support to achieve it's goal!

Keep track of the Game Dev Blog >>>HERE<<< for more up to date news of when the campaign will be launched and also for up to date development news!

We'll be waiting with baited breath for this beauty to be released!!

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On
ASCII art, RetroGaming,

 The Last Time We Covered An ASCII-art Video Game Was "Candy Box" Which Was All In All A Pretty Simple But absorbing Video Game.....


Sanctuary RPG Comes Across As Something So Much More Than That.....

It's a true attempt at a complex and all consuming video game experience mostly put aside for the complex systems of the PC and Console Generations of today....

Take A Look At This Cool Sanctuary RPG Trailer To Get A Feel For This Cool Video Game..


Sanctuary RPG is termed as a "strategic turn-based monster slaying and dungeon crawling adventure" and all of this cool stuff set in a retro ASCII-art game world. 


Therefore this is a truly unique experience in todays world of high end graphics..

RetroGaming, ASCII art

Sanctuary RPG draws its inspiration from Roguelikes and Japanese RPGs video games.

Sanctuary RPG has been painstakingly designed by the Black Shell Games team to offer a unique and compelling game-play experience that has been combined with an action-rpg style combat system......SOUNDS COOL EH!
 

ASCII art, RetroGaming
                                      

If you enjoy the look and feel of Retro ASCII graphics, travelling through vast dungeons, having the option to play through hundreds of hours of absorbing storyline, formulating and utilising combat strategies with over 160 class and race combinations to play with and destroying enemies with over 1400 weapons and armor whilst rocking out to an original 8-bit chiptune soundtrack...........

THEN....THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU!!
 
ASCII art, Retrogaming

Some Of The Other Cool Things About This ASCII Marvel Are:


- The Ability To Collect Achievements! (for no reason whatsoever)

- Forge your own weapons & Customize and utilize robotic pets in battle!
- Sell craft beers and run your own tavern in the games very own simulated economy!
 

ASCII art, Retrogaming

Well we did warn you that this game was absolutely marvellous......and guess what?!

It's FREE! Yes that's right this wonderful creation is FREE but we would really urge you to donate what you think it's worth when you download this beautifully crafted game.....

PLAY IT NOW AND TELL US IF IT ROCKS YOUR WORLD LIKE IT ROCKS OURS!

Here at Games Freezer We Are Committed To Bringing The Coolest Games In The World Before Anyone Else Hears About Them....

So Whilst doing our usual rounds on Twitter we stumbled across this cool looking indie video game from Rittenhouse called dreamroom

Naturally we were hypnotised by the beautiful use of Pixel Art in the screenshots that are on display at the dreeamroom website 

Apart from the beauty of the Pixel Art we havn't got much to go on apart from the following description from the website.......
 
"DreamRoom is a hypnotic pixel art tale about the worlds of our minds. 

Painting a story that is beautiful, personal, and terrifying to experience, DreamRoom invites you to enter a labyrinth of thoughts and feelings, to face the darkness within.

DreamRoom is a hypnotic tale about the worlds of our minds.

Painting a story that is beautiful, personal, and terrifying to experience,

"Visually and audibly, DreamRoom is artistically crafted,
voyaging the world of dreams through imaginative places,
and enrapturing sounds and music."

Game Dev, Indie Game
 
"Lay your head back, and close your eyes.
Listen to the soft rain hitting your window.

When the time is right, enter your dreams to answer their mysterious callings.
DreamRoom will be a game experience like no other.
Return here to follow the development of this incredible journey."


 Sounds Pretty Darn Cool Eh......

Very Mysterious.....

Why Don't You Guys Taker Closer Look At
