Take a Bioluminescent Trip Into the World of CreaVures

NEWS -

Once alive with light, the forest is now almost choked by darkness. Only five little CreaVures, mystical beings possessing great bravery, can pull back the blanket of night and restore the forest to its luminescent grandeur.

• FIVE FOR FIGHTING

Each of the five CreaVures – Bitey, Pokey, Rolly, Zappy, and Glidey - has a unique talent suited for solving special puzzles and surviving tough enemies, including terrifying boss battles at the end of each chapter. Only by working together can the CreaVures restore their forest home.

• HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL

Bathed in fluorescent highlights, the world of CreaVures is a dreamscape made real. Tree rings glow in the gloom. Swirls of light rise from twinkling flower petals. CreaVure eyes pulse in the twilight. This is one game you cannot tear your eyes away from.

• FUN AND FANTASY AWAIT

CreaVures’s puzzle-filled platforming is enhanced by fantastical story that pulls you into its world and compels you to keep playing until the forest is rescued from oppressive darkness.

AT&T to Launch the Nokia Lumia 900 for $100

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:47:00 GMT

NEWS -

This is officially the first bit of news that we at Game of Phones are posting to our very empty Windows section of the site. But I can think of no better way to kick things off then to announce the price and release date of the much anticipated Lumia 900 here in the states.

According to several news sources (BGR and CNet) a "trusted source" (I'm guessing Microsoft PR) has announced that AT&T will be selling the device for $99.99 with a two year contract starting on March 18th. If the reports are true, this is very good news for Nokia, Microsoft, and AT&T. Each have had struggles in the smartphone arena with Microsoft and Nokia having virtually zero presence and AT&T trying to gain back an edge after losing exclusivity to the much loved iPhone.

Arcade Classic Rayforce Lands on the iPhone

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:53:00 GMT

by: Tommy
NEWS - I love the growing trend of game publishers breathing new life into old-school gaming classics like, Rayforce, by porting them over to modern smart phones. They make some extra cheddar by selling us a game we've already played a million times and we get to relive our childhoods, sans dropping quarters into a slot. It's a formula perfected by George Lucas and the Star Wars franchise. I mean who doesn't want to buy every Star Wars movie again for the fifth time but this time in full 3D and smell-o-vision?!?!

NEWS - Of course everyone loves the modern first person shooters and they are the best selling games out right now, but if you're like me, you have a soft spot in your heart for the classic side-scrolling shooters of old. Games like Contra still bring back memories of happier times when shooting someone meant they just blinked for a second and then just disappeared. No rag doll models, no realistic blood.

If this kind of game makes you long for colorful 8-bit graphics then you're going to love Star Marine: Infinite Ammo. Star Marine will be released in the App Store on January 12th and features 7 weapons with which to make the bad guys go blinky.
