[minis Review] Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride Review

Down on his luck as a struggling gramophone salesman, Barry comes across the “secret” laboratory of Legitimate Research, a corporation dedicated to developing crazy new technologies. Seizing the chance to become a hero, Barry begins his ride after commandeering a jetpack and making good his escape, where the player jumps in and guides his adventure with accessible one-touch gameplay.

Along the way, players must avoid lasers, missiles and electro zappers, all the while grabbing coins and trying out even more ridiculous vehicles – Lil’ Stomper, Profit Bird and the robot dragon himself, Mr. Cuddles!

Supporting the action is a robust Stash system, where everyone can track their progress, upgrade their gear and buy new gadgets for Barry. Grab one of many jetpacks including the classic Machine Gun Jetpack or the colorful Rainbow, suit up in a vast wardrobe of unique costumes and make sure Barry’s best friend Flash comes along for the ride!

PS3BlogCast Episode 70

Welcome back to another week of the podcast! It’s a light week of news and we’re short one person, unfortunately, seeing as Isli has some deadlines to meet for work. Don’t let that turn you away, however, since we hold down the fort pretty well.

This week I get into a little bit of why I think Far Cry 3 is amazing and Xya talks about what she wants for Christmas. We also have a minor technical issue in the first 6 minutes of the podcast where it might sound as though Xya has a slight echo when she’s talking. Luckily I was able to fix it, so you won’t have to deal with it for too long!
