It's on time for once and this week we got a new release, DOTW and what seems like a permanent price drop for you to enjoy. Plus due to popular demand Kent's easy 100% section is back again.

New Release

Extraction - 79p

Experience this explosive top-down 3D shooter inspired by retro classics and designed specifically for a touch screen. Clandestine government experiments on military personnel and POW’s have gone wrong, unleashing an outbreak of infected soldiers on the area surrounding the secret facility.

You play a hardened Private Military Contractor, drafted in to exterminate the infected. Featuring a unique one-finger control system, incredible visuals, a variety of weapons, four game modes, upgrades and more, Extraction will blow you away.

• STUNNING VISUALS

Extraction has been built from the ground up using a Fully 3D Engine to deliver a completely immersive experience.

• EPIC CAMPAIGN

Play through the story driven single player campaign that lasts 4-5 hours. Uncover the government secret and find out the real reasons behind the outbreak.

• MULTIPLE GAME MODES

Four game modes: Extermination, Rescue, Repair and Escort.

• EXPLOSIVE WEAPONRY

Ten high-powered weapons from the Desert Eagle to ultra-destructive Heavy Machine Guns each with incredible upgrades to unlock. Plus, four special weapons with intuitive control mechanics.

• SUPER SOLDIER

Earn XP and spend it on upgrading your character’s armor, melee skills and much more. Become the ultimate one man army.

WORD OF ADVICE: Do not skip the tutorial as the control system is very unique!

Deal of the Week

Permanent Price Drop

Tentacles - 79p

***Updated to include Dog Eat Dog Expansion DLC***

Prepare for another feast of eyeballs as Lemmy gets awesome new powers!
Dog Eat Dog gives you:
• New electrifying gameplay mechanic!
• New enemies to satisfy your appetite!
• 15 levels in brand new worlds!
• 2 new bosses to beat!
• And another chapter in the absurd story of Dr. Phluff!

Furthermore this update holds level and gameplay tweaks, including challenges being reset after death, along with a number of minor bugsfixes.

Enjoy!

Tap the screen in Tentacles and experience 40 finger breaking levels, amazing boss fights and marvel at the truly ground breaking and intuitive gameplay.

Think fast, move smart, keep eating. Enemies stand in your way and you must rip out their eyeballs as you attempt to defeat mad scientist Dr. Phluff. Where will this final battle take place? Have a guess. Nope, not even close!!

Dr. Phluff has always meddled with the order of nature and this time he sought to create the cutest animal ever conceived. He failed. In a disastrous but not entirely unexpected turn of events his experiment was a catastrophe and he created a being of darkness. Black, heartless and with zero desire to be nice, kind, or worse of all cute. Yes, he created YOU! A slimy black blob with three tentacles, a claw, and a never ending appetite for eyeballs.

Tentacles is a completely new take on the platform genre. Use your tentacles to make your way through Dr. Phluff. Yes, that’s right, you’re actually inside him. It is a ghoulish and ghastly world inhabited by other genetically modified monsters created by Dr. Phluff’s experiments. Guess what, they’re all hungry and you just made the menu. Use your tentacle skills to outrun Dr. Phluff’s acid attacks and face off against bad-ass creatures in awesome boss battles.

Kent Hammer's Easy 100% Completion Section

Apart from GeoDefense Swarm (which TA states has a 40+% completion) none of these are easy completions, Tentacles is a tough one due to some difficult achievements and Extraction looks like a similar grind to Gun Bros but without the dodgy connections!

So that's all for this week, for those interested it seems last weeks DOTW Let's Golf 2 is still £1.49 at the moment but as it has a glitched achievement I wouldn't worry about picking it up unless your after GS rather than completion, its Gameloft so don't hold your breath for a fix! Slowly service will be back to normal so expect this to be back to a weekly product!

**KENT HAMMER** Wed Oct 03, 2012 8:08 pm

Geodefense Swarm is quality and I maxxed that already.

So bugger all for me this week as I don't do grindy or glitchy..... or bitchy or moany either come to that, now make my tea woman! Wink

GrahamOfTheDead Wed Oct 03, 2012 8:11 pm

Extraction is an ace little game and it doesn't appear as if it will be that much of a grind as someone on TA has already completed it.

**Tricky34** Thu Oct 04, 2012 9:14 am

Might have a look at Extraction later on, i don't mind slightly grindy games, as i just play them at work.

evilgenius76 Sat Oct 06, 2012 9:32 am

Dammit i thought they'd fixed the lets golf achievement thats why i webnt ahead and bought it...FFS!!!!!!!

**minkey_monkey** Sat Oct 06, 2012 11:12 am

must not buy any more games!!! I have so many and I rarely play them. All though I have recently got into role in the hole

**Tricky34** Mon Oct 08, 2012 4:54 pm

Bought Extraction, and its pretty good (especially for 79p) been playing it on and off over the weekend, and on my 2 long train journeys. And its a good time killer.

evilgenius76 Mon Oct 08, 2012 5:25 pm

yeah I succumbed as well, played it a little, doesnt look as much of a grind as GUN BROS though.

GrahamOfTheDead Mon Oct 08, 2012 5:28 pm

It's a reasonably straightforward completion. Word of advice, which I wish I'd followed earlier.....do the defence missions above everything else. These pay out a lot more than other missions.

evilgenius76 Mon Oct 08, 2012 5:38 pm

yeah I saw you complete it on TA earlier Smile

asked if you were challenging me for WP completions! LOL

GrahamOfTheDead Mon Oct 08, 2012 5:45 pm

Haha.....just using them to pad my arcade completions.

It was there for the picking Smile

I have a mounting collection of WP7 games on my phone that Im battling through, trying to avoid anymore huge time spenders and get easy completes and work on my back catalogue Smile

**minkey_monkey** Tue Oct 09, 2012 9:47 am

I really dont have the ability or the patience to max most games, so I just plod on with what ever takes my fancy these days. Which sadly isn't much.

evilgenius76 Tue Oct 09, 2012 11:05 am

a lot of the games Ive bought and completed have just been bought to max, theres a couple that I've really enjoyed playing...gun bro's, hydro thunder (despite having to replay it 3-4 times because of an issue at the time with WP7 achievements), Glyder! and Contre Jour (buy this its EPIC! if you need a solution ask me and I'll give you advise some levels are mental!).

But there are games that i wish I hadnt even started Pocket God, Harbour Master, wordament because they are stupidly hard/long to complete. And istunt2 because the achievements are broken, potentially letsgolf2 and Fusion : sentient will be added to this list but yet to get to the point to see if its broken or not.

GrahamOfTheDead Tue Oct 09, 2012 11:28 am

Let's Golf 2 is broken. The achievement in question is about inputting a secret code. The same thing was apparently in the iPhone version and required you to change your profile name to something specific. However you can't do this as the profile name on the WP7 version is your gamertag.

**Tricky34** Tue Oct 09, 2012 8:54 pm

iStunt 2 must have been patched because i recently completed it!
