Earlier this week my two little brothers released their first game, Cellblock Squadrons. It’s one of those fly about in space and shoot things games, but it’s not a realistic sim and it’s not an arcade game with powerups and such. It sort of sits inbetween the two genres by being a simple shooter that doesn’t quite stoop to spinning letters that make you shoot funny. It also doesn’t waste time with little ships, and just takes you straight to the big whoppers that are fun to fly along side of (at least until they shoot you with giant beam weapons and you die).
While I’m too cheap (and broke) to buy it for myself just now (that’s right, even their own big brother doesn’t get a free copy), it looks pretty good. You can check out the demo for yourself (and maybe buy it) from the Super Furious Software website.
