First Time Plays for December 2016
The first of two new videos on the Youtube channel:
Tiny Troopers is a top down twin stick shooter - anyone who has played the Call of Duty Dead Ops games will grasp the controls - with the schtick being that you can have several soldiers under control at once. It's very reminiscent of the classic 16-bit game Cannon Fodder and has the same issue of not being able to control individual troopers but is more light-hearted and makes for a fairly enjoyable game, with 3 separate campaigns available.
The other free PS3 game of the month - Hyper Void - is also harking back to a classic game; in this case Tempest.
Like in that game, enemies come towards you and your ship is restricted to only being able to move in one plane. It gives 3 difference types of laser weapon but there doesn't seem to any particular reason to choice a particular type of laser on enemies, other than your personal choice. There are 30 or so levels according to the Trophy descriptions - I felt no desire to try past the first one.
Looking back on it now, it reminds me quite a lot of Super Stardust, also available on PS3, which did the 3 weapons and ship on a single plane, with better graphics and much more interestingly.
