:: Disney has announced that a new Star Wars game is on the way, titled Star Wars: Assault Team. It's said that players will be able to collect classic characters from the Rebel Alliance and more in this turn-based combat game that focuses on strategy and card-battle elements. Missions will have players visiting planets and locations from the original trilogy this spring when the game releases on iOS.
Disney's wet mouse simulator (it's totally not a wet mouse simulator) Where's My Mickey has been selected as the App Store's free app of the week. What does this mean exactly? Well it means that you can download the quite popular and enjoyable mouseified version of Where's My Water for absolutely nothing.
Really there's no reason not to download it. Unless you're hydrophobic I suppose.
:: WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET :: ENERGY SYSTEM FAILURE :: Read Review »Pocket Gamer reports that Where's My Water? 2 has just been made significantly more player-friendly. It seems as though Disney may have realized that the game's energy system wasn't the best choice, and have completely removed it in the latest update. That's right, no more obnoxiously restricting energy meter! Those who caved and purchased the expanded energy meter haven't been forgotten, though. Players who shelled out a bunch of cash to try and get the game into a more playable state will receive 2 Monster Bundles for free instead.
The update also adds new locations to guide water through (the Bayou and Winter Woods), and is available now. Go! Play! Have fun!
More Star Wars is on its way as Disney announces Star Wars: Attack Squadrons, a free-to-play online space combat game that's currently set for PC only.
