Combo Crew the latest Mobile game from The Game Bakers, has you punching goons in the face to string together massive Combos (Who’d have guessed) and work your way through the levels of Mr.Boss’ Tower.
You begin controlling two fighters Gina and Parker, with the opportunity to unlock two more Dolph and Sammo each with their own unique combos to smash their enemy’s teeth in. But just look at the app tile for a sec:
That … That’s Ryu from street fighter does that mean?
YES!
Yes you can play as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Blanka.
Hell, you can even Play as Viewtiful Joe, each with their own combos and original move sets (providing you pay 69p each) …
Wait what was that?
*cough* providing you pay 69p per character. To be honest the main reason I even picked up this game was to maul people to death with the Electrifying Orange Haired Brazilian, but to not even give me the option to work hard and grind points to unlock him is obscured. I understand that it’s a free game but a lot of Freemium titles at least give you the option to earn extras.
But that aside Combo Crew turned out to be incredibly fun, the adrenalin rush from frantically building up your combo meter just knowing that one slip will not only make your multiplier drop but also your super meter as well as potentially fail the level in the later stages will have you in a cold sweat rubbing your fingers raw just trying to keep it going.
Each character also showcases a variety of special moves be it a Juggle Combo for air attacks or a block breaking Heavy Combo, even a screen clearing HADOUKEN!!! All of which will help you build up your meter and unleash a Fruit ninja style Super Combo where you frantically try and chop as many enemies as possible to seriously beef up your combo multiplier.
The music compliments the gameplay perfectly using Double Dragon esc fast passed Chinese music that makes you really want to pound some face, this music only becomes more intense the higher you climb in the tower.
As for story it’s brief, but then as a mobile title it’s hardly going to be Deus Ex basically “In a world where a fist to the face is a perfectly viable solution, Mr. Boss has it all. Now he wants to break the greatest fighters ever! Trapped in his giant tower, you must fight your way to the top to take him down!” (Direct quote form the opening cut scene right there) and basically that’s just it you need to kick some arse and prove your skill to Mr.Boss.
Overall Combo crew is a fun and addictive mobile title, but it does loses its appeal quickly, I suggest playing it in small bursts (probably whilst Pooping) and play it on a Tablet rather than a phone because no human has figures small enough to accurately chain combos on a screen that small, you will accidentally throw your phone across the bathroom if you get to into it.
As a free game it’s definitely worth a download, I honestly wouldn’t suggest downloading the Capcom characters unless you really want to. They don’t alter gameplay in any major way, they just add to the coolness factor. One thing I forgot to mention is the option to literally buy your way to the final boss, why anyone would do this baffles me, if you want to finish the game that quickly don’t get it in the first place.
The latest title update for Grand Theft Auto V goes up today and it’s supposed to do away with one of the game’s most annoying bugs. Hopefully, players won’t have to worry about cars and other vehicles disappearing from garages.
Here’s the list of issues that Rockstar says should be resolved with the new update:
– Fixes numerous issues that were causing vehicle loss and/or loss of vehicle mods
– Fixes an issue where the incorrect car is replaced when choosing to replace a car in a full garage
– Fixes an exploit allowing players to sell the same vehicle multiple times
– Fixes an issue that caused personal vehicles to be duplicated
– Fixes an issue where some players were unable to pay utility bills on an owned apartment or house
– Fixes an issue where players were not getting Crew invites in-game
– Fixes an issue where the starting point for the tutorial race was not appearing
– Fixes issues with joining Jobs from within a player-owned garage
– Fixes issues with players getting stuck while using playlists
– Fixes additional issues causing black screens, long load times, and players getting stuck in the sky cam
– Adds details in the UI to clarify that characters created while Rockstar cloud is unavailable are temporary (non-saved)
– Adds changes to the character creator to make better-looking default characters with the “random” option
– Players now only lose a maximum of 500 GTA$ upon death in Freemode
This is presumably the update that preps for the in-game cash infusion that Rockstar’s giving players to apologize for GTA Online’s troubled launch. That $500,000 should be hitting soon. If you get a lot richer inside the multiplayer version of Los Santos, let us know.

The last day of the Eurogamer Expo was rounded off with a live version of the Eurogamer’s podcast, featuring a number of indie game developers as well as some Eurogamer staff.
The main topic was, as to be expected with the guests, indie gaming. Smaller sub-topics were discussed such as what indie meant to the developers sitting up on stage, that the only real difference between AAA studios and indie developers was the need for indies to be ‘out there’ more, how new media and social networks could be a double-edged sword at times, allowing for that important word-of-mouth marketing while leaving themselves open to anonymous backlash and how indie gaming has risen from being practically nothing to carving out a sizeable niche in the gaming community.
Though really, it’s impossible for me to write an article that does this podcast justice. Just watch the video below.
