Guy Serle wrote about Wingnuts 2 coming out way back in April 2004. Today, Freeverse Software finally dropped it on an eagerly awaiting Mac gaming market.
Now, I haven’t played the game, or the demo, so I can’t tell you how cool (or not) it is. But I did watch the short video of gameplay on their site, and my initial impression was "Cool. It looks like games I played back in 1992 on my Sega Genesis." And when I say that’s what it looks like, I mean in the graphics department. Why brag about designing it using cool OS X specific technologies like CoreImage if it looks super out-of-date in todays gaming world? Ouch.
Anyway, if a top-down aerial shooter is your thing, Wingnuts 2 will set you back $29.95, and you can try before you buy with a downloadable demo.
