Swords & Sworcery, Now In Pocket-Size
Confession: I have an Android phone. Don’t get me wrong, I love my phone (3G Mobile Hotspot capabilities. Step to me.) but there is one very notable aspect in which we lag behind you iHoles: gaming. It seems we in the droid marketplace receive everything a few months late (or never at all). I mean, I got Angry Birds n shit, but the iPhone does have some pretty dope games on it that stretch the definition of “mobile gaming” and the Droid just can’t fucks with that. One of those games, so I’ve been told, is the recently released Swords & Sworcery EP.
It’s a hyper-pixelated touch based adventure/music game that has been getting rave reviews. Once again, I have not (and cannot) play it, but from what I can tell it seems akin to the stripped down brilliance of the games from Thatgamecompany (flOw, Flower, the upcoming Journey) but with a retro point and click adventure bent. It’s also somehow tied into rock music (hence the “EP”), and presumably much more artsy awesomeness. One of you out there, please download this, play it, and let me know how it is. While I play Angry Birds Seasons. Like a chump.

Unfortunately I have not purchased the touchtronic machinery required for participation. Color me an uninitiated sad face.
