Following the footsteps of Angry Birds, the popular Cut the Rope game made the transition from mobile devices to your web browser.
Now you can feed the cute, candy-gobbling monster, Om Nom straight from your browser simply by going to http://www.cuttherope.ie/.
The game, which has been downloaded over 60 million times on the iOS and Android platform is converted to HTML5 and optimized for Internet Explorer 9 (although Chrome, Firefox and other modern web browser users can also play). This web version is developed by a partnership between Microsoft, web design agency Pixel Lab and ZeptoLab’s lead creative team to showcase the rich interactive capabilities of the HTML5 web standard.
IE9 users get more fun though. Aside from being able to pin the game to your Windows 7 task bar for one-click access, you will also unlock 7 unique levels that’s not available to other browsers. I just wonder how it will reflect those levels where you need two fingers to swipe at the same instant when all you have here is a mouse.
Inplay Interactive, a company that is not that famous MMO company in Korea. They were known recently by developing F.E.A.R.: Origin Online which also licensed by Warner Bros. Entertainment. Inplay Interactive could be recognize by developing more and more western games as they might develop a Lord of the RingsMMO and another MMO that could be like Batman and DC comics in cooperation with Warner Bros. Entertainment. There are reports that Warner Bros. Entertainment has become the investor and shareholder of Inplay Interactive and that the Korean developer is licensed to use the IPs owned by Warner Bros Entertainment. There is no detailed info about what could be the looks of Korean version of Batman Online and Lord of the Rings Online will be. But there are rumors that it could be AOS style online game.

CABAL 2 project has been underway at ESTsoft Corp.'s R&D Center in South Korea for several years, and is one of the highly anticipated projects in company's history.
The guys return with another episode of the Skyrim Show, and because James intentionally deleted his backup saves and accidentally deleted all his regular saves, they decided to start the game over at the beginning.
Hilarity ensues, because this game is totally glitchy and nothing goes right at all. Eventually the show ends with an epic whimper. Watch.
When Zynga’s Word Scramble Challenge Edition
recently went missing on the App Store, nobody knew exactly what
happened, and the developers weren’t telling. A few weeks and fruitless
Google searches later, we now know why: The app’s been redesigned and
aligned with the “With Friends” series.
As the third social word game in Zynga’s growing iOS library, Scramble With Friends
is another surefire success, presenting users with the franchise’s
familiar, inviting layout and language-based interaction. Following in
the heavily-influenced footsteps of its forbears, the app is a blatant
“homage” to the Parker Brothers classic, Boggle.
Scramble With Friends is a two-player affair, and you
compete with your opponent over three two-minute rounds. Presented with a
four-by-four grid of letter tiles, the goal is to construct as many
words as possible before time runs out. As usual, you’ll have the
typical array of power-ups and tokens to help amplify your offensive
attack; and, when the match finally ends, whoever has more points wins. Scramble With Friends is available now on the App Store for a worthwhile $2.99, but an ad-supported free version will let you try before you buy. For now, both are iPhone only, but those HD releases can’t be too far off.
The Xbox Live gatekeepers have decided to cut their faithful indie game
developers some slack -- but not too much, mind. New changes for 2012
include a new 80 point ($1) entry price for smaller games, expanded size
limits (up to 500MB) and the ability to create up to 20 titles -- devs
were previously limited to half of that. However, there's still no
access to Xbox Live Achievements or Leaderboards for those impoverished indie developers. Way to keep the little people down, Microsoft.
Many Playstation 3 gamers have both US and Japanese Playstation Network accounts, allowing them access to downloadable titles and content from both regions.
So, when Sony announced that the PlayStation Vita would not allow players to swap between PSN accounts, many gamers were a bit disapointed at the news. Thankfully, Destructoid has found a way to swap between PSN profiles using the Vita's 'System Restore' feature, and though it's a bit complicated, it's better than no solution at all.
In order to swap profiles around, Vita owners should first backup their Vita files to a PC or PS3 using the Content Manager app. Following this, players need to "restore" the device, returning it to factory settings, then "deactivate" it, which will de-associate it with the previously existing PSN profile. Following this, its simply a matter of logging in using the PSN profile you'd now like to use, then using the Content Manager to return all your game saves and other data to the device.
If that makes no sense to you, we advise you follow Destructoid's guide, which has pictures. Hopefully Sony will let this workaround remain in place, though given their reluctance to let players swap profiles around, this may only be a temporary exploit.
Has there ever been anything like it? There have arguably been more huge
titles released in the last 12 months than during any other window in
history, and it's made for a corking - not to mention expensive - year
for gamers.
We've seen remakes and sequels smash our expectations into the
stratosphere, while new IP has appeared out of nowhere to steal our
hearts.
New instalments of pretty much every major series going nearly wore
our thumbs down to the bone, and yet there was STILL time to announce
more great games and some new consoles too.
So before we turn our eyes onto 2012's upcoming embarrassment of
riches (Mass Effect 3, BioShock Infinite, Halo 4 and many more!)
it's time to celebrate a truly unforgettable chapter of gaming.
We've put together a list of 20 games release in 2011 that should not
be missed. If you find there are any games on this list you haven't
played, we recommend firing up your nearest internet browser or heading
to your local retailer and picking these up. They're unmissable.
Okamiden - Nintendo DS
The long-awaited Okami sequel takes the DS to new interactive highs as
the stylus becomes the Celestial Brush. Criminally overlooked, we
reckon.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Fortune - PS3
More of the same for Nathan's third excursion - but given that
Uncharted 2 was sublime, this is exactly what we wanted. Uncharted's
cinematics have always been a cut above, and Drake's return brings with
it some of the finest acting we've ever seen in digital form
L.A. Noire
The moody LA detective-'em-up drags the point-'n'-click into this
generation by its lapels, roughs it up a little and dumps it in a
staggeringly accurate sandbox. Truth, doubt, or lie? Truth all the way!
Rockstar's amazing MotionScan technology set a whole new standard for facial modelling.
Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 kicked off the year with a heart-pounding, underwear
ruining jaunt through an alien-infested city so unsettling it really
made us get scared of our own shadows. The most terrifying beginning of
2011 sees Isaac - helplessly trapped in a straitjacket - sprinting
through a Necromorph- riddled hospital with salivating mutants hot on
his tail. Aaaargh!
Little Big Planet 2
How do you top a game where you build your own levels? By creating one
where you can build your own games! LBP 2 offers game modding for the
masses, supported by one of the most vibrant and creative console
communities ever.
Total War: Shogun 2 - PC
The ultimate in strategy game refinement, Shogun 2 takes everything
that's great about the Total War franchise and improves it... and
improves it... and improves it... and, well, you get the picture!
Bulletstorm
Epic's epically epic blaster proves that there's still plenty of room
in the first person shooter genre for innovation. It isn't just about
getting kills: it's all about getting stylish, disgusting kills. And
swearing loads while you do.
Xenoblade Chronicles - Nintendo Wii
Wii games are coming thin and slow now, but clearly Nintendo have been
saving the best 'til last. Xenoblade Chronicles bowled us over when its
surprise localisation gave the lovely, sprawling Japanese role-playing
game to the West.
Battlefield 3
The single-player mode divides opinion, but its multiplayer option -
particularly on PC- is a masterclass in how to make the complete online
game.
War has certainly never looked as good as it does in Battlefield 3.
We're not sure if even real life has the visual fidelity to match it...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Controversial content can't stop Modern Warfare 3 from being the go-to
shooter of the year. Despite all of Infinity Ward's internal
reshuffling, there's barely a blemish to be found.
Dirt 3
Dirt never lacked for edge-of-the-seat racing, but the tricksy Gymkhana
mode and top-notch weather effects ramp up the series' thrills and
brake fluid spills a few notches further.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - PC
CD Project's saucy RPG sequel is still in production for the Xbox 360
for a 2012 release, but wowed the PC crowd earlier this year. Our one
grumble? It's tough - but that issue's now been patched!
Mario Kart 7 - Nintendo 3DS
One of the most iconic party series in history blazes its way onto the
3DS, and the tuned-up racing means this entry drives away with a cup and
leaves the rest choking on its exhaust fumes.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Not only did Human Revolution manage to do the seemingly impossible and
live up to the Deus Ex name, it also succeeded in delivering diverse
options so robust that the individual shooting, stealthing and hacking
paths could easily have carried the entire game on their own.
Forza Motorsport 4 - Xbox 360
Petrolheads everywhere wept oily tears of joy when they discovered how
vast, how varied and how stupendously polished Forza 4 really was. Gran
what?
FIFA 12
"Football perfection," we said, and all the world agreed! It's the most
beautiful game ever based on the beautiful game: dribbling around last
year's instalment with ease.
Portal 2
Your Golden Joystick GOTY-winner took a quirky three-hour game and made a sizeable masterpiece. Also,
it does something few other games manage: it's tremendously funny,
and sustains its humour throughout. Still Alive was always going to take
some beating, but Jonathan Coulton's end ditty Want You Gone comes
mighty close to doing it.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Nintendo Wii
Ninty rounded off 25 years of Zelda brilliance with a chapter that
simply changed everything. The series has never felt as fresh or as
surprising as it does in Skyward Sword.
Batman: Arkham City
Move over GoldenEye, there's a new licensed king in town. Rocksteady's
vision for Batman is as well crafted as Nolan's or Morrison's, and a new
yardstick for every tie-in to be measured up against. The ending has to
go down as one of the bravest, most shocking conclusions ever. Who
would have thought DC would allow Rocksteady to change the landscape of
their world so dramatically?
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
A world with endless possibilities; a story with uncountable
permutations; a game unlike any other. Our undisputed GOTY does things
no current generation game should ever be able to do, and does them
superbly. There are hundreds of hours of content to root out and enjoy,
and almost every major interaction with an in-game character comes
pre-loaded with a range of moral choices to pick from. And even when you
think you've finished it you really haven't - the radiant quest system
will create an endless string of thieving and
assassination and exploration quests to wring every last drop out of
the land. Did we mention it's simply gorgeous, too? RPGs suddenly have
an awful lot to live up to in a post-Skyrim world.

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition
Announcement of the launching – 22nd of September, in UK – brings OnLive officially
in Europe! The event will take place at the Eurogamer Expo, in London,
and it promised to reveal a package of over 100 new games for games
devourers.
Let’s take a short look of what does cloud gaming actually mean for OnLive:
- Easy access from anywhere
- Gamers can play from any device: PC, mac, TV or any tablet
- Users don’t have to hold an up-to-date system configuration to play a
“last generation game”, because their system is just an interface of the
game.
The game is actually played in real time, on the OnLive’s powerful
servers, within its datacenters. It will be needed an OnLive system
which adapts games to run on the TVs
- There is access to free instant demo-games for you to play or for you
to watch as others play, with the possibility of voice chat
- No more game-downloading, no further need of disks or any other special hardware
- Facebook integration.
Broadband is a key-factor regarding video quality and the required speed is 2Mbps.
The issue that came out in USA was also raised in UK – the delay. This
is caused by lag and latency, which was officially recognized by the CEO
of OnLive (Steve Perlman) to be 35-40ms, though in the US there were
found played games at 200ms latency.
If you want to play a game, you can just rent it for a short time,
buy it for unlimited play time, or pay an amount of money for 3 days, 5
days or a month of game access. But if you can make it to the event,
OnLive promised to give thousands of Game Systems to the participants
for free.
Rift
publisher Trion Worlds' account database has been hacked, potentially
compromising information including user names, encrypted passwords,
dates of birth, email addresses, billing addresses, and the first and
last four digits and expiration dates of customer credit cards.
The firm said in a statement that "there is no evidence, and we have no
reason to believe, that full credit card information was accessed or
compromised in any way.
"We have already taken further action to strengthen our systems, even
as we, with external security experts, continue to research the extent
of the unauthorised access," it added. "We apologise for any
inconvenience this may have caused you."
Users will be required to change their passwords, security questions
and answers next time they log in to Trion's website, and be given the
option to connect their account to its Mobile Authenticator to enhance
account security.
The firm also advised that customers who used their Trion username
and password for other accounts, such as banking, also change those, and
carefully review statements and account activity.
"You should have continued, uninterrupted access to Rift, and we do
not anticipate any disruptions to your playing time," Trion said.
"Nevertheless, if you own the Rift game, you will be granted three days
of complimentary Rift game time once you update your password and
security questions.
"Additionally, once you update your account and set a new password,
your account will be granted a Moneybags' Purse, which increases your
looted coin by 10%, even if you have not yet purchased Rift."
Back in March, an account security exploit in Rift was fixed with the help of a "white hat" - or ethical hacker.
