Kill Cylons With Your Cellphone
June 5, 2008 by brian
Glu Mobile is bringing a Battlestar Galactica-inspired shooter to your cell. It’s described as a top-down shooter in which you can pilot Vipers or Raptors against relentless Cylon attacks.
Players begin the game as rookies (affectionately called nuggets by the BSG crew) and progress in rank through missions. Each promotion unlocks new features for the pilot including ship upgrades and wingmen. It has 24 missions and additional training missions.
It sounds fun, but then the press materials are supposed to make it sound that way. I actually must confess to not being much of a mobile gamer. When my sister bought my phone, she didn’t add many of the cool features because she figured I wouldn’t know how to use them anyway.
Now I’m going to tell her I want the Galactica upgrade. Then I will listen as she ridicules me and insists I grow up.
