Happy New Year! (Yes, I know it's a little early)

It's a bit soon, but I wanted to say it early. Happy New Year everyone!! Here's hoping 2012 is just as enjoyable as this year. I wanted to look back at all the games made this year.

First up, Zombie Scream, released on March 25th. This game was a side scrolling horror shooter, where you took Arnold Houston around St. Louis to investigate the zombie outbreaks. At the same time, there was an organization trying to convince Arnold to "join them." Earlier this year I had announced a sequel to Zombie Scream, which should be released in the summer of 2012, although this is subject to change.

Up next is Galactic Infection Aliens, released on June 9th. This was simply a spin off of Galactic Infection, where the player could take control of the aliens instead of the humans. One feature that stands out in the game is the multi-player. You and a friend could take over Earth together. Whoever would end up as the ruler of the Earth you two probably decided on later.

To end it all, the first two episodes of Monsters was released, with the first being released on November 21st, and the second released on December 13th. There was also an updated version of Episode 1, although all it had was some different level design. That was released on November 28th, just a week after the original. In these games you took control of Lucius and Rufus, who were traveling the land in search of treasure, and also staying out of the war. But, they ended up getting caught up into the East Kingdom's personal problems.

And now, for a little news concerning some of 2012's first releases. Of course, there is Episode 3 of Monsters, but unfortunately there has been some technical difficulties, and the game is being released later, probably mid-January, but it is possible Episode 3 could get a February release date. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Next up is a title called World of 8-bit, another game I announced earlier this year. This game will be made a little differently from previous titles. It will be coded in HTML5. What this means is the game is going to be released as a flash game...well, kinda. In addition, this game will be on websites other than the Yoyo Games Sandbox. It will be a Platforming game with a retro feel to it. This game will most likely be released in the Spring of 2012.

And there you have it! I am looking forward to the new year. Hope your New Years day is a good one! See you soon!
