Episode 71 is live, featuring reviews of Spiderweb Software’s Geneforge 5: Overthrow, Aquaria by Ambrosia Software, and the Psyclops Dance Mixer iPhone App. Also, I do an interview with Gamerizon CEO Dominique Belanger.

Geneforge 5: Overthrow

The classic old-school RPG series of conflict between the magical Shapers and the Rebels draws to a close. But is there enough in the game to draw both old and new gamers alike?

Aquaria

Winner of the 2007 Seumas McNally Award, Aquaria blends beauty and exploration with a bit of destruction to cook up an underwater winner.

Psyclops Dance Mixer

Teens and pre-teens alike will love the ability to create a mini dance video right on their iPhone. But the interface is nothing to dance about.

Gamerizon

Gamerizon is moving into the Mac casual game scene with their first offering “QuantZ”, a bit of Action-Puzzler, Match-3 and Marble Popper all mixed into one.

PSYCLOPS, developer of iPod cases and the interactive dance and music creating website, has released a new iPhone App…the PSYCLOPS Dance Mixer. The application allows users to create their own music video with a selection of characters, pre-recorded music beats, and animated dance moves. They can also set the mood with an animated background or photo real background, and personalize it with a custom message scrolling across the bottom of the screen.

Though one can only share the music and dance video (in QuickTime format) via email, Joy Kovaleski of PYSCLOPS had already hinted in a previous iGame Radio episode of a competition aspect to come…though I don’t know whether that competition will only be on the PSYCLOPSHQ.com site or on the iPhone app as well. Time will tell!

 

Host Omaha Sternberg continues her Gaming Macworld 2009 series, covering Macworld Expo 2009 from a gamer’s perspective. Featuring an interview with Joy Kovaleski and Jeff Muncy of Psyclops, the online music creator that will soon allow teenagers to enter their avatars in music and dance competitions. Also, an interview with Blair Yakimovich and Lucas Smithen of Transgaming. We talk about what it’s like to port games to the Mac using Cider, City of Heroes, OpenCL and OpenGL 3, and the future of Cider technology.
