Something something unlucky for some. Vibrate your inner-ear hairs by blasting them with sound waves that contain our experiences with Dying Light, 80 Days and Dragon Age: Inquisition, some Metroid Prime “true” facts involving ladybirds and Koji Kondo in a bin, and an invasion by a rival games podcast. And there we were thinking we were the only one. Plus: SPACE ARK.
Email trp@therotatingplatform.com, tweet @rotatingpodcast, Facebook our Facebook page, or Etch A Sketch us an Etch A Sketch message and hope the postie doesn’t shake it up too much. (Next week’s Space Ark genre is: physical gun games.)

Odd genre for next week. Doesn’t it overlap a heck of a lot with on-rails shooters? And would a game using the Wiimote as a gun count? (Still sore over the Metroid Prime games not even being considered for Metroidvania week.)

It’s true, there is a bit of overlap with on-rails shooters — we’ve chosen the genre largely because Alan and I had enormous fun playing Point Blank in an arcade a couple of weeks back! (And the fuzzy borders between many gaming genres means that Metroid Prime(s) will no doubt get another chance in a future Space Ark.)
Wiimote as a gun… yes, probably ok. Those Space Ark rules are pretty lax, as you’ve no doubt noticed 🙂
