Polar Panic Review

No Comments »

Polar Panic is a new downloadable title for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation 3, and Facebook, a puzzle game that mixes Pengo with Bomberman with a heavy dose of environmental preaching. The object of the game is to escape a maze of snow and ice bricks while avoid hunters under the employ of an over-the-top evil corporation Globoco.

Polar, our hero bear, has to navigate these snowy mazes while avoiding hunters. Snow blocks can only be destroyed, while ice blocks can be slid across the level; otherwise, if they can’t move, they too are destroyed. These ice blocks are one of the very few offensive weapons Polar can employ, sliding them to crush hunters. The more hunters with one block, the higher the score. As the single player campaign progresses, new features are introduced, like tents that produce more hunters and must be destroyed, snowmen and family members who add bonus points to level completion, and new enemies such as rocket-toting hunters. Adding to the complication is the level timer.

There are two more game modes. One is a puzzle mode in which you have to complete levels with as few moves as possible, and an endless mode in which Polar is beset by a constant stream of enemies in an attempt to get the highest point total possible.

bubble-trubbleCreat Studios has announced the release of Bubble Trubble for the PSP, PSP Go and the PS3. The goal of the game is to match bubbles as they are floating down. Bubble Trubble combines match three type game play and puzzle game play.

The bubbles fall down and float around the screen according to the laws of physics and players have to match the colors of the bubbles. The bubbles that are matched meld together and form a bigger bubble until it pops and leads to great power ups. The bubbles that have not been matched will settle into the board and take up the available space. Bubbles keep falling until there is no more space left on the game board.

Players can play in survival mode or challenge mode. If you are into puzzle/match three type games, check out Bubble Trubble in the PlayStation Store.
