Last September, Alawar Entertainment released the creepy Gothic hidden object game Vampire Saga: Pandora’s Box. They have just announced that it has hit the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. The game features animated cutscenes, loads of objects hidden among detailed Victorian-era scenes, and a Lovecraftian vampire storyline.

As expected, the interface has been optimized for the iPhone and iPad’s touch features, and will cost $2.99 on iPhone / iPod Touch and $6.99 on iPad. “Light” trial versions will be available to give players a taste of game.

Vampire Saga is a creepy hidden object game set at the turn of the century. Join Matthew Ward as he steals aboard a cargo ship to escape the violence of the Spanish-American War, passes out for no apparent reason (never a good sign!), and wakes up to find himself alone with several sinister-looking coffins. Where did the crew go? Why is Matthew having strange visions? And why does he feel like he’s being watched?

Above is the video released to promote the game. Click here for the original PC game description.

Build-a-lot 2 Video Review

Build-a-lot 2 is a fun to play house flipping sequel to Build-a-lot. The game play is the same, but the structures you can build and the concept of appeal rating adds a new challenge to the game. Players need to build houses, upgrade houses and make a profit before time runs out. Check out the video review below.

Mario Kart Wii – GamePlay Footage: Interested?

What are your thoughts about the next Mario Kart title for the Nintendo Wii? I’m nervous because I’ve never used a Wii steering wheel before and it’s going to be much different than a standard control pad for interaction.

I want to like it and I hope I can stick with it until it feels like a natural form of gameplay. Steering wheels are supposed to provide a smoother driving experience rather than flicking the control-stick to stay on the road on turns and curves.

The graphics are no par with what I’d expect, the neat flips look new and interesting. Hopefully it lives up to the Kart title we have all come to expect from the Nintendo brand.

I’m not so sure about that one-second delay between the gamer reacting and their play reacting, but that might be an optimization issue. Let’s hope!

Minesweeper: The Movie

I thought this was pretty funny. Totally a movie that would never be made because casual games just don’t make great movies. But funny non-the-less. It’s never the first one!

Trailer: Mario And Sonic At The Olympics

Unfortunately it doesn’t give a whole lot of insight into the game, but it is kinda neat. I’m curious to see how Mario and his B-Speed can compete against the non-frame-dropping Sonic the Hedgehog who traditionally existed as the fastest toon on the video game segment.

But, Mario may win a the long jump
