1337 h4x0rs -- Trine, 'Splosion Man, Critter Crunch

Monday, July 20th, 2009 – running time 24:05
Area 5 takes a day for R&D and Matt's brother exacts his revenge. We also preview 'Splosion Man, review Trine, and talk Critter Crunch for the iPhone.

Segments

The side-scrolling action game is one of the oldest genres in gaming. Gamers have battled left to right in countless adventures and so there's something to be said for the ones that can still impress and feel like something new. Trine is one of those games and so Matt is joined by Giant Bomb's Brad Shoemaker to discuss why you should be checking out this awesome platformer.

Another side-scoller that stood out is 'Splosion Man, a game where you self combust to jump to platforms, avoid obstacles, and terrorize scientists. After playing out a few stages, Jay and Jason meet up to share their thoughts.

Critter Crunch has been available for a long time on iPhone (it even has a PSN version on the way) but Matt's still prone to get into a game or six. Maybe the puzzle-solving stimulates his intellectual side. Maybe feeding tiny creatures to larger ones is his idea of a good time. Jay Frechette wants to see what the fuss is about and joins Matt in seeing why Critter Crunch is still Matt's go-to iPhone game.
