Fish Food Ep. #51 – Most Anticipated Games of 2012
Listen in as Patrick Adams and Jordan de Boer talk about all the games they are looking forward to in 2012 as well as what they are playing right now. We also get into our regularly schedule bits such as movies, music recommendations, and around the web. Enjoy!
Run Roo Run!
Run Roo Run is a nice little suprise from 5th Cell, makers of Scribblenauts and the upcoming Hybrid for XBLA. Run Roo Run is a platformer in which you control a little kangaroo over obstacles by tapping to jump. The gameplay is very basic in that you don’t control Roo you only tap to start him moving on his own and tap again when you want to jump. I guess you could say it’s similar to Toki Tori in ways. I’m not a huge fan of automatic “movement” in games but Run Roo Run does it great.
Patrick’s Top 10 Games of 2011
This year has been an interesting year. A lot better than I had initially expected it would be. When looking at all the games coming out for the year I wasn’t sure if I’d be buying many of them. Nothing really caught my eye. We had big franchises with their 3rd titles being released as well as a handful of sequels but not too many new IP’s. The year has now passed and I can honestly say it’s been a busy year. I played a lot more games than I had planned and I am happy for it.

Fish Food – Episode #48
This week we step away from our regular format to bring you nothing but video game goodness. Listen in as Patrick and Jordan talk about what they’ve been playing over the past month. Games include Halo: Anniv, Rayman: Origins, MW3, Saints Row 3, and Skyrim.
Rayman: Origins Demo Impressions
So I’ve been wondering about Rayman: Origins ever since it was revealed at E3. I’m a sucker for great art and Ubisoft’s focus with this game was to make something that was very artistic. The demo for PS3 and Xbox 360 was released this week so I gave it a try.
Battlefield 3 Holds Top Spot in UK
Despite seeing a 54% drop in sales, EA’s Battlefield 3 has managed to stay at the top of the All Formats All Prices UK Video Game Chart. This franchise has been around since 2002 and the new version of the game includes fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC.

Listen in as Patrick Adams, Jordan de Boer, and David Lange talk about Batman, Uncharted 3, Rage, the GTA V trailer, Mark Burnett, the VGA’s and more!
Bike Baron
Like Trials HD? Then you’ll love Bike Baron. Bike Baron is similar to Trials HD in almost every gameplay aspect. The goal is to make it to the end of the track while collecting all the coins. The controls will feel very familiar. The right hand controls gas and brake while the left hand controls the tilt of your rider. Don’t worry, you won’t have to tilt your iPhone to do this as there are arrow keys on screen to press. The game uses GameCenter so it has achievements and leaderboards.
Bike Baron is proof that developers really want to sell games at that $0.99 price point. This game is a steal. With 44 levels spanning 4 difficulties you’ll be able to invest a decent amount of time into this game. There is also a track creator which is a great addition. The track creator is very easy to use which is a breath of fresh air because most level-creators on iPhone aren’t very user-friendly. To download and play user-created levels you have to go to TheBikeBaron.com and get a 4-digit code for the level you want to download. To play the track I created (nothing special) use the code ABVN. I’ve listed some of the current top tracks below:
AMBF – Goro 2 – by peta44
AMBD – Up and Down – by FILIPSN007
ABMO – Insane – by FILIPSN007
ABMP – Ooooooo 001 – by oooooomonkey
ABMU – Simple Northshore – (no gc)
I’m not sure why there is no interface to browse and vote on tracks but for right now that’s how it has to be done. As far as graphics go Bike Baron looks great and is super polished.
Like I said, it’s a steal at $0.99 and I highly recommend it to anyone. Hopefully we’ll see some updates in the future.
