One of the most addictive iPhone games just got even better.

Babo Crash HD by Ottawa based game developer Playbrains is a puzzle based game featuring the characters from the popular Madballs in Babo: Invasion shooter that is available both on Steam and Xbox Live Arcade.

If you haven’t played Babo Crash, “Bejeweled on steroids” is one of the most common phrases heard when one tries to describe the game experience. It is a match 3 game where players race the clock to smash gems and chain combos for big points. The Babo Crash twist is when the Babo characters enter the game to roll, zap, slime and blast gems off the screen for huge combos and massive points. The game is also known for its great soundtrack and celebrity voice cast including none other than Katey Sagal from Futurama. The popular soundtrack is even available as an album download from iTunes.

If you have already played Babo Crash HD and perhaps even beat the game’s challenging 20 levels. Playbrains has 2 more game modes for you and the add-on is totally free.

For those who want to take time out, Playbrains did just that. In Relaxo mode, the timer and the Chompiis are removed and you are challenged to get as big a score as you can over 20 challenging levels.

For the twitch gamer, Rush mode challenges you to score as big as you can in a single 75 second round. Chaining combos is everything in this mode. Read More: Playbrains Releases Free Add-On for Babo Crash HD

Curve’s self-published puzzle-platformer to hit PS3 before year end

Curver Studios announced today that its 2.5D platform action game will be brought into the HD era with a bang and onto the PlayStation Network before the end of this year. Explodemon! is heavily influenced by classic Japanese games from the golden era of the SNES. Players will use  Explodemon’s self-destructive nature to combat enemies and fly through the air, all the while solving a vast array of physics-based puzzles (and of course leaving wake of destruction and collateral damage behind). The plot of the game is centered around the peaceful planet of Nibia being attacked by malicious Vortex forces, the fate of the star system is then thrust into the one pair of hands it shouldn’t be: the malfunctioning Guardian robot Explodemon. Your quest to repel the onslaught or Vortex forces and restore peace will take gamers across three distinct planets and over twelve levels, with new abilities and gameplay mechanics introduced throughout.

“We’re really excited to finally be able to reveal Explodemon! to the world,” explains design director Jonathan Biddle, from a blast-proof bunker somewhere below the surface of Nibia. “The game is chock full of gameplay nuggets carefully mined from the greatest titles ever to grace our joysticks. Whether you’re experiencing its intense combat, head-scratching puzzles, or classic platforming, you’ll find we’ve combined all of these elements into an addictive and elegantly balanced package.” Read More: Confirmed: Explodemon!

Alan Wake fans can get a glimpse of the new DLC add-on at xbox.com/alanwake. The Signal will feature new locations and some new innovative gameplay, as well as  a surprisingly interesting storyline that takes Alan into a new nightmare directly after the climactic conclusion of the game.

For gamers who purchased new copies of Alan Wake, a token card was included in each copy, making this DLC free to download at no cost – a welcomed treat from Remedy Entertainment (those Finns sure know how to spoil us).For those looking to purchase “The Signal” game add-on, it is available for download exclusively on Xbox Live Marketplace for 560 MS points ($7.00US).

Fans can also further immerse themselves in the mystery of “Alan Wake” through the “Alan Wake” novel from Tor Books, the original soundtrack by Sumthing Else Music Works, the official strategy guide from Prima Games, and the “Alan Wake Illuminated” hardcover art book from Random House. Those who want to gear up properly for their adventure through Bright Falls can also stock up at the official “Alan Wake” store and at CafePress.
