Trick-or-Tweet Halloween Contest!

Lloyd — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:44:27 +0000

If you listened to the Touch of Gaming Podcast #35 you would have heard about this little Halloween contest we are running. We put our feelers out, tentacles if you want to be Halloween-y, to our favorite devs of spooky games and they have provided us with plenty of promo codes to fill our Candy Bowl of Awesomeness™!

In all we will be giving away 50 promo codes featuring the following games and apps: Horror Racing – Chillingo, Eyegore’s Eye Blast and Zombies vs. Sheep – Retro Dreamer and Click Gamer, Zombie Pizza – Appy Entertainment, Zombie Attack! – IUGO, Penguin Break – GameFlow Entertainment, Scarecrow, Crazy Snowboard – Halloween Special, Crazy Skeleton, Crazy Pumpkin, Crazy Chainsaw – Ezone. We also have some apps to fill in the spaces, HexCalc and Fraction Calculator from llaffer!

These codes will be given out over the course of the contest, with the grand prize being selected and awarded on November the 3rd! We quickly mentioned October 31st in the show, but due to some production delays in the editing we had to push that date by a few days. So starting from today, and ending on November 3rd preform the following and you’ll gain a “ticket” into the grand prize draw, and qualify for some random promo code love Also, all of these codes are for the US App Store, so you will need to have a US iTunes account to redeem any of these codes.

Well WWDC started this week and as expected Apple announced a new iPhone!

As can be expected, Rob and I are quite excites about the new titles that are sure to come.

In this episode we talk about an amazing batch of iPhone games. I talk about my time with The Sims 3, circuit_strike.one, Zenonia, Kaloki Adventure and Star Defense. That’s just in the notable release section seeing as we then do full reviews of Toki Tori, Defender Chronicles, Knights Onrush and Billionaire! It’s a gameapalooza on the Touch of Gaming podcast, and we hope you love it.

ToG #24 – Of GDC and Ducks

Lloyd — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 06:11:55 +0000

The Game Developers Conference (GDC you see) is on right now in San Fransisco, and the iPhone is blowing up! Not only have there been some great game announcements, but developers are singing the praises of our little portable handheld to all who will listen. It’s a good time to be an iPhone gamer.

We talk about all the biggest news from all of the biggest devs and publishers such as NGMOCO:), Chillingo, Gameloft and EA Mobile, We also talk about the new game from Titmouse Games, Wolenstein 3D is out now, and even talk about some casual games like Bookworm. It’s an action packed episode, and we hope you enjoy it!

In this episode we review and talk at length on three titles: Alpine Racer, iMob, and Qublitz. I also make mention of iPlayPhone, a great time waster for you out there with kids.

This episode of the Touch of Gaming Podcast is brought to you by 99 Games, with Chess Pro for the iPhone & iPod Touch!

We went a little long in this episode of the ToG, we hope you’ll forgive us! In this episode we have not one but two contests that could net you some free App Store games! That makes up for the long episode a little bit doesn’t it?

In this episode ~~Bret~~Rob joins me, even after I screw up his name! Here’s a pro-tip for you budding podcasters out there, do not read while talking We talk about some of the latest and greatest games that have come out, talk price drops, hit the news and even answer 3 emails sent in from you the listeners! Games reviews in this episode are The Creeps! and I Love Katamari. Of course, we also tell you about the two exciting contests we are running, details of those follow:

Contest 1 – Win yourself a copy of BurnBall!

To enter this contest simply email touchofgaming @ gmail.com with the subject line of BurnBall. In the body of your email tell us why you think the Evil Dr. Grey should be stopped. A winner will be selected at random on Tuesday January 20th, and will be contacted and announced in the next episode of the ToG! Promo codes are only usable in the US App Store, so you need to either be a US citizen or have a US iTunes account. Sorry all, it’s Apple’s limitation not ours!

Contest 2 – Win one of 16 copies of Mobile 1Up’s GW games

This is the big daddy, and you will ALL want to get in on this! mobile1Up has been generous enough to give us 4 copies of each of their games on the App Store, GW Fire, GW Octopus, GW Parachute and GW Chef.

There are two ways to enter this contest and all winners will be selected at random on Tuesday January 20th, and will be contacted and announced in the next episode of the ToG!

Again, all winners will be selected at random on Tuesday January 20th, and will be contacted and announced in the next episode of the ToG!

ToG #14 – A Festivus Miracle!

Lloyd — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:58:37 +0000

We are taking a break from the podcast until the new year but before we got together to do another Review-A-Rama episode of the podcast. In this episode Rob and Christian join me to talk about a dozen games that we’ve been playing!

Since we recorded this episode tonight, and it’s Christmas-Eve-Eve and all, there is a bit of a technical glitch. Unfortunately a low level hiss crept into the recording, and I do not have the time to go back and filter it out I hope that it isn’t too bad for you guys and that you’ll enjoy it despite the hiss.

From all of us at the Touch of Gaming podcast and Nukoda.com, we wish all the best to you and yours in 2009!

Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be a regular feature here on the Touch of Gaming Podcast, a Review-A-Thon! I pulled in two Games Are Evil staffers and we rocked out 10 game reviews! Podcast regular Rob LeFebre joins me along with podcast newbie Christian Arca, for one of the most epic episodes yet!
