Pressured Game
Can you handle the pressure?
Hey there.  Our friends at Flump Studios have done it again!  Wait.. what?  You don't remember Flump Studios?!  The awesome indie game developer that have provided us with Pester and Super Killer Hornet?  We even had them on our Get a Life podcast for a chat.  Now that you've jogged that memory of yours, let's get into their latest game, Pressured.  Our good friends at Flump Studios provided me with a press copy of their latest PC game and let me tell you, it's ADDICTING!

Press Start Issue #1 March 2013

Looking for video game reviews you say? Well you've come to the right place! Welcome to Press Start. A monthly video game review/preview show by yours truly Brian Alford and my co-host Luke Bayliss. Each month we will be reviewing the games that have come out the month before as well as discussing some of the games that are coming up this month.

I'm sure many of you are scratching your heads wondering why I have decided to call these episodes "Issues" Well I figured that this is a podcast version of a video game magazine so I am going to call each monthly episode an "Issue"

Get a Life Podcast Ep. 9 - The One with Pester and Flump Studios

Hey there.  Ready for another episode of the Get a Life Podcast?  Awesome!  What?  Too soon?  But this one has a special guest!  Our guest, Paul Marrable, one half of Flump Studios, joins Brian and I on our podcast to discuss Flump Studios latest game, Pester.  The guys at Flump Studio were awesome enough to provide us with a copy of the game, Pester, to try out.  You can read my thoughts on the game here.  Also, make sure you stop by their Facebook page to keep up to date with all things Flump Studios!

As a bonus, this podcast also has a giveaway!  Listen all the way to the end to hear the giveaway question and then enter the giveaway using the PunchTab widget below!  I also want to mention that we lost connection with Paul for roughly 10 seconds around the 9 min mark.  Small technical difficulties and a small hiccup in our show!  Sorry about that, guys!  Later!

Thoughts on... Pester (XBLA Game) by Flump Studios

Hey there.  Our good friends over at Flump Studios are at it again and have released another GREAT XBLA game!  Super Killer Hornet (SKH) was pretty cool and now they have released Pester, another great shooter that takes me back to the days of Gradius and Galaga.  Pester is currently available at the Xbox Live Marketplace for a mere 80 MS!  Before we get into the game itself, I want to give a little info on Flump Studios.  Flump Studios is an up and coming small indie game developer and they are based in the UK.  They have been working on games for about a year now and have developed a few mobile games before their SKH release on Xbox Live Arcade. Pester is their second game into the marketplace and I believe they are already working on thier next title.  I respect all game developers but it's something about the indie titles that I feel more drawn too.  I feel as if they are living their dream and it's pretty cool to see thier hard work finally pay off.  That's a big reason why I enjoyed Indie Game: The Movie... but that's for another post.  Now... my thoughts on....  Pester!
