Hook Champ Preview
October 8, 2009 – 12:32 am
Rocketcat Games has been running a pre-release adhoc beta of Hook Champ. It is an 8-bit style side-scroller with very simple touch controls.
You’re an infamous adventurer that starts each mission by swapping out a fancy idol for a fake one, of course it never works and you’re left to run away with your treasure.
Not from a boulder, but from something that seems like a more extreme version of chain chomp from Mario’s games.
The gameplay is more like Sonic. You’ve gotta hook onto the ceiling and various other objects that stick out from the background without stopping or that fellow will eat you.
Make it through a level picking up lesser trophies along the way and you can buy some awesome new hats before heading out on your next adventure.
I’ve enjoyed it so far, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Check out the video:
When it is released Hook Champ will have a 99¢ sale, down from the normal $3 price.

I was looking up some old toys I had when I was a child but didn’t know what they were. Wikipedia has a construction toy category so I was able to get some spoilers on my childhood.
Going through the different kinds I eventually came across the ones I had, Construx. The entry for which has a link to the ridiculous creation you see above.
Spelunky 1.0
September 2, 2009 – 12:19 am
Fantastic news for my fellow Spelunkers, since our last update Derek Yu has released version 1.0 of Spelunky. It is still a wonderful blend of nethack and Rick Dangerous, and it is still free. Now it has some extra bug fixes and will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade in the future.
Battlefield 1.50 Coming on September 1
August 28, 2009 – 1:47 am
In an almost ridiculous display of generosity from the company who most people would probably have previously pegged as the most greedy, EA and DICE are releasing version 1.50 of Battlefield 2 with all of the booster packs included (though not the Special Forces expansion) on September 1st.
Check out the huge list of changes over at the official Battlefield blog. My favorites are proper widescreen display support and the removal of the disc check. Now all they have to do is release the game on Steam and I’ll be able to give my discs away.
