Just a quickie to point out in the likely case people missed it (most likely because you’re twenty years above the target age group), Ludus<\/strong> began on CBBC on Monday (and it’s on Mondays at 5pm), a new show where kids try and save their friends and family from becoming game characters owned by camp evil space alien Ludus, amusingly played by Tom Bell (you’ll all be doing the “for-evah!” hand gesture in the playgrounds I’m sure). They do this by playing giant touch screen games, some of which have been repurposed from an older show called Y Lifft<\/strong>. Cube Interactive has helped produce this show and have done the playalong app for it which I have yet to play, although apparently it will sync up even if you’re watching a recording which is clever. Cube also did the app for Y Lifft\u00a0<\/em>and also the rather good recent Catchphrase<\/strong> app.<\/p>\n

The show’s fairly good fun (although some of the games seem to work better than others). The spaceship used to travel between levels has clearly been inspired by amazing sci-fi horror film Cube<\/em>, and the end game has more than a touch of The Adventure Game<\/strong> vibing through it (although I wouldn’t for a second suggest it’s on the same level as the vortex really). Not bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
