AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Game Hitting Facebook in April

March 16, 2012

AMC and RockYou have teamed up to bring an interactive Facebook game based on the popular TV series “The Walking Dead”, which you can lay your hands on earlier than Telltale’s The Walking Dead adaptation hitting Xbox Live Arcade and PSN in a few months time.

AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Facebook game developed with Eyes Wide Games,   will not be following the show’s plot, but it does have similar setting depicted in bright, cartoon-like graphics.

Players won’t have the chance to follow the adventures of Rick Grimes and his fellow survivors or fight side-by-side with the shows characters, but they will have the chance to interact with them when they pop up from time to time.

The concept of the game is, well you already know that… didn’t ya?, surviving  the post-apocalyptic world by fighting hordes and hordes of zombies. After setting up and improving base camps to operate, the two main tasks as far as gameplay goes will be maintaining base camps and scavenging for supplies.

This turn-based strategy game will give players to choose how they navigate the world and engage in fights (melee or range). But, be warned that it’s not a one man show, and things can get messy. So, team up with friends to have better odds for survival, as well as for defending your post-apocalyptic camp.

The game hits Facebook in April. So, if you are ready to whack some walkers don’t forget to leave your “Like” on the official AMC The Walking Dead Social Game Facebook Page, to get started as soon as the game arrives.

Facebook Game Review: Triple Town – A Fine Addictive Game

January 23, 2012

Facebook Triple down game from Spry Fox is a cute little matching game with a surprising twist.

fb game tripletown 300x219 Facebook Game Review: Triple Town A Fine Addictive GameUnlike other matching games where you group together matching tiles, bubbles, jewels or anything to clean up the board, in Triple Down, you match up items to build up your board or town.

The game starts off with a 6×6 grid game area that is randomly filled up by different objects like grasses, bushes, house etc. Your basic mission is to attempt to grow the greatest possible city by matching three or more similar items together. Match three or more grasses to make a bush, three bushes to make a tree… until you’ve filled the board with cathedrals and castles.

Check out the screenshots that I have put together to get a clearer picture of how the buildings are build.

Apart from building, you will have to watch out for pesky bears and ninjas. They themselves won’t do any harm but you will not be able to build on the grids they are on. So, you will have to kill them by trapping them. Once trapped, they will turn into tombstone. Three or more tombs will turn into a church. You can also corner three of more bears at once. Three churches make a cathedral, and three cathedrals turn into treasure.

Trapping a bear is easy with a little bit of strategy. But, ninjas are of different league. You cannot trap them because they will shift their location at every turn. You can only remove them with an Imperial Bot that erases any object from a grid on the board.

Besides imperial bots, you will get a crystal every now and then. Use the crystal as a wild card. There is also a storage facility where you can store objects to use them in times of need. You can also buy items from the game store with the coins that you earn.

When you put down the last piece of a triad, the upgraded object will be formed at that piece’s grid. So, the game requires a careful thinking. A particular board ends when all the grid of the board is filled.

The game graphics are cute and nice. I don’t have anything to complain about the game, except for its limited social feature as a social game. The only social element I have come across was inviting friends and a weekly high score chart. It would be nice to be able to send gifts.

All in all, Triple Town is a very addictive puzzle/matching strategy game that is full of challenge, fun and be warned that you could get stuck with the game for hours.

You might want to try it out if you haven’t.
