“Nuclear Baby” is a browser game by Andrew Brophy playable HERE.  It’s a simple sort of shooter, press Z to shoot left, X to shoot right as hordes of mutants try to kill you.  Nothing in the way of depth, but some good fun while it lasts.

“Cosmosa” is a 3D shooter by Andrew Brohpy.  I’ll be perfectly honest, I barely knew this genre of gaming existed until “Cosmosa,” (which you can quite clearly tell from our latest podcast) but now I do…so that makes it hard to judge from my standpoint.  However, I did enjoy this game, and if there’s definitely no better introduction to 3D shooters then a freeware game.  So give “Cosmosa” a try, and I hope you enjoy it.

I know that Ratchet & Clank: Race Through Time is just an ad for Insomniac’s newest title (A Crack in Time), but wouldn’t putting just a little effort into it make people want to play the actual game a little more…  Andrew Brophy, A KID, makes fantastic games that are unique and original in every way, and here we see poor quality from Sony (one of the three big first party publishers).  There probably could be some irony in there, but I really just wanted to promote someone that makes quality freeware games.  Strangely enough, Ratchet & Clank probably could work really well in 2D, so I was doubly disappointed by the lackluster ad.  A browser game, shouldn’t lead to this level of annoyance.

So you kids like retro shoot ‘em up gameplay?  You like techno beats and flashing colors?  You like explosions and gorillas?  No!?!  Well then you’re an idiot!  Angry Gorilla Machine Monsters is a new game by Andrew Brophy and features all of the above in mass, and for that is awesome.  You play as the blurry, little gorilla in the space ship blowing up the skull and crossbones pictured above.  It’s not actually that blurry outside of the screenshot.  The game uses music and color in big ways, so as your blasting through the enemies you’re also kind of mesmerized by how pretty things look and the music gets you into the rhythm and mindset with ease.  So pick it up and play, it’s free from HERE.
