Angled Whiteboards

GameTap celebrates Earth Day this week (well, not really) with the release of Great Journey: Mr. Penguin’s Letter™ in which you’re tasked to stop a no-good-nick polluter from trashing Antarctica. If that’s too politically correct for you, there’s Dark Star One, where your starship is … ALIVE!!!

• Great Journey: Mr. Penguin’s Letter™

New free game:

I can’t lie, Giovanni was onto something last week when he speculated that things were busy here at the office. He’s right. Keep in mind that the lead time on most things the IAs work on is typically pretty huge. But we’re on some cool stuff right now. Unfortunately there’s way too much work to do much more than attempt to participate in the rolling avalanche that is the Monday Leaderboard Tournament (Root Beer Tapper’s up next!).

New Gold games:

• Alien Shooter Vengeance
• Dark Matter
• Dracula Twins
  

New free game:

• X2: The Threat

Whoah, whoah. (<-- You try typing Tom Jones out. Not easy.)

Technically, TheRedEye used his own whiteboard to sketch out the Captain McGrandpa design doc. See the massive world-map and more in his excellent, behind-the-scenes postmortem.

DiRT menus are here! But so is the hotly anticipated GameTap Original Captain McGrandpa - Memory of the Forgotten. I suggest you get that DiRT game downloading and dive into Captain McGrandpa in the meantime. You’re really gonna wanna play this one today. Trust me.

Meanwhile, I’m off to stand guard at TheRedEye’s cube. He’s got a marathon day ahead of him, and he really shouldn’t be disturbed.

New Gold games:

• Captain McGrandpa - Memory of the Forgotten
• DiRT
• Pop-A-Tronic
• Warlords
