The (Abusive) Boyfriend Trainer
There’s a somewhat controversial app on iTunes at the moment: Boyfriend Trainer, by Games2win.
In the game, players zap and beat their man to “train” him, i.e., prevent such unwanted behaviours as watching sport, leaving his clothes on the floor, or eyeing up other women. This last crime apparently warrants the girl spraying mace in his eyes!
A Weekend of TERA
I’ve spent most of the weekend playing TERA, in the last stages of the mmo’s closed beta stage.
TERA has been touted as a new breed of MMO, with enhanced combat and tactics, relying on timing and position, as well as aiming. The game world is massive, with gorgeous graphics, and there are seven character races and eight classes to choose from.
TERA has been in the news for their races and clothing designs, though.. with the European version of the game having censored versions of some models. I’ll come back to that..
