With Earth Day right around the corner, there couldn’t have been a better time for developer Oceanhouse Media to dust off The Lorax, Dr. Seuss’ classic allegory about the environment and the impact we have on it. If you have a green thumb and you’ve been looking for an app that’ll let you scratch that gardening itch, Lorax Garden might just be the game you’re looking for. The story in Lorax Garden picks up where the end of The Lorax leaves off. If you haven’t read the book, whether you’re young or old, put a bookmark in this review and track down a copy right now. Cat in the Hat may be Dr. Seuss’ best known work, but it’s far from his most important. The Lorax is a tale of man’s impact on the environment told in an endearing style that only the incomparable Seuss could pull off. If you’re too embarrassed to go into the children’s section of the book store, don’t worry – there’s an e-book version available in the App Store. For those who’ve yet to read it, we’ll cut right to the chase. At the end of the book the readers are informed that the world doesn’t have to be mowed down in the name of progress, but it’s up to us to change our ways. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” Lorax Garden puts that choice to care a whole awful lot right in the palm of your hands. More an objective-based gardening simulator than an actual game, you’ll travel from land to land transforming dreary landscapes into wonders of nature by growing trees and flowers. Each land will require a certain number of trees, which you’ll grow in pots by planting seeds and watering Read More
Digital Chocolate has teamed up with social network platform solution OpenFeint to make the game developer's first "freemium" title, Fantasy Warrior Legends, a truly social experience. The game launched today and is available for free for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Using OpenFeint's social platform, players of Fantasy Warrior Legends will be able to post scores on leaderboards, track their progress, join in on live forums and chat with other players, and purchase items through an in-game store. Aurora Feint Founder and CEO Jason Citron called OpenFeint, which boasts a community of more than 17 million players, the perfect platform to launch a social role-playing game (RPG). "Players expect to have an in-game economy where they buy and sell all sorts of items to use as part of playing the game, so the notion of virtual currency is expected and well understood by most RPG players," Citron told Gamezebo. "Extending the economy to include in-app purchase for the really cool premium items fits well with the expectations of the genre." Fantasy Warrior Legends is the fourth Digital Chocolate title to launch with OpenFeint support but is the first title that the company is offering for free. In Fantasy Warrior Legends, players can play as Rento and continue a journey to confront and destroy the evil Demon Lord. Created specifically to take full advantage of the iPhone and iPod touch, players will be able to use the Multi-touch feature to navigate and fight monsters by touching or tapping the on screen controls. OpenFeint will be featuring Fantasy Warrior Legends on FreeGameoftheDay.com on Sunday, April 11, 2010. During this promotion, users will be able to download 400 in-game gems for free to enhance the action-adventure gameplay. Read More
