Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

Brink - x360, ps3 and PC

Brink is a first person shooter with a twist. Made by Bethesda, (The makers of The Elder Scrolls) this game combines parkour with standard FPS. Of course though, because it is made by Bethesda it has overlooked flaws, like the difficulty of the parkour system. There is a feature that will do it for you automatically, but it is more efficient to do it manually.

Brink has a story mode that can be played in any order, so this may make people play them out of order. It is also obvious that this is meant to be played as a multiplayer game, because EVERY mode in the game is multiplayer. (except for 1 challenge, I believe) This wouldn't be a problem, but there is no local play. Brink is great for a person who enjoys first person shooters but wants more challenge.

8/10

What comuter are you using? And what is  Zero-Day.

It is an exploit where hackers and such can use a hole in javas code that lets them run stuff on your computer. It installed a fake virus scanner that kept spamming notifications. I knew what to do and fixed it though. I'm out of town for 3 days too.

Super Mario 64 review:

Yep, its SUPA MALLEO SIXTEH-FOUR. Well this game was just awesome. The beginning storyline is the usual, but the levels were awesome. There were a ton of levels with about 4-6 stars in every level, usually 1 you can obtain by collecting all 8 red coins in the level.
The levels are fun, with 3 levels where you fight Bowser by picking him up by the tail and throwing him into huge spiked balls. The music was awesome, as well as the graphics. The game awesome boss fights, huge slides that you had to slide down, and the ghost house with a living piano and of course Boo ghosts.  The action was so fun like stomping Goombas and Koopas, with even a huge chain chomp and whomps.  The game was a huge N64 hit. No matter how many times gamers played and beat the game, the action (and thrill!) never ended. 9.8/10

Thanks, just in time for the mag

Phew, it's coming up to our tenth issue! I would like to thank all you guy's. Your eagerness to do stuff for the mag is the thing which has kept this going. Shall we try and get an extra special mag for the tenth? Your choice though.

How about a special feature about indie games. How they've changed. Shall we compare the homebrew of the ZX Spectrum to todays app store.

Edit- Anyone who's interested can do a page about it.

Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

I suggested indie games because Yelo Inc, where I work, is an indie game company. I was also inspired by the movie "indie game". Arin Hansen's video was featured in it  yikes

You can do one on next gen, as long as you mean WII U XBox 720 and PS4. Not much is confirmed about the PS4, but info has been leaked on the 720.

Some gamer news by Shadow36821:


Nintendo announced that Miiverse on the Wii U will be available on 3DS. There has not much else that Nintendo has said. Communication could be through 3DS Streetpass or 3DS Spotpass, as well as using the free 3DS app Swapnote. I do not know anything else about Miiverse on 3DS as of now. I guess we will have to wait for Nintendo to announce more about 3DS Miiverse.

Thanks, I'll add that to this weeks news. (Not sure what it is yet, I usually get the news for it in the last two days so it's recent!)

Cool, sounds good. I'm pretty sure you can do a fair review of your own game.
