PROMOCODES FROM EA!!!

Over the holiday season, EA was giving out promo codes like crazy. We happened to snag a couple extra codes while making sure that everyone we knew had every game they were giving away, and have decided to go ahead and just toss em up here on the site. 

To redeem these codes, just go into iTunes, and on the main AppStore page, you'll see a 'redeem' link. Click on that, enter your password, and then enter the code. If the code has been used, it'll let you know, but you can then try another. 

Good luck to those of you who don't have these games yet. And if you don't manage to get a code, you can always keep your eyes open for sales. EA has about 20 sales a year, so you'll be able to get each of these games for a measly $0.99 if you're willing to wait.

The App Shack's first ever big ass promo code giveaway starts next Wednesday the 8th!

It's been a long time since we had our last promo code giveaway. Last Christmas to be exact. And since then, we've gained quite a few more readers. Because of that, we figured it'd be a good idea to expose all of our new readers to one of our favorite things to do here on The App Shack (other than give you reviews of course!), giving away promo codes! 

We've got quite a few developers who've agreed to contribute this time around; Lightstorm 3D, The Quadsphere, Just Funny Games, FDG, A Small Game, Creative Heroes, Grab Games, and more have all been kind enough to give us a couple codes for some select games; Captain Antarctica HD, Hanger, Cats Away, Amoebattle, Icarus-X, Gene Effect, Gluddle and more! 

Our giveaway will start this coming Wednesday (August 8th). All you'll need to do is follow #TheAppShack on Twitter, and Retweet our Tweets about the giveaways! We'll be picking winners at random, and contacting them with codes for a whole week (through August 14th!). So keep a look out here on TAS for the beginning of this very special event, and let everyone you know in on the nifty giveaway we'll have going on! You guys won't want to miss out on it. =oD

SZC: Beyond Dead - Update + Promo Codes!

SZC: BEYOND DEAD

Last month, Monster Robot Studios released their Metroid inspired action platformer, SZC: Beyond Dead. It got mixed reviews, but one of the biggest issues gamers seemed to have with the game was the controls.

Since then, MRS has done some major re-working, and this morning, Version 1.0.1 of Beyond Dead hit the AppStore. And it makes a huge difference in the gameplay.

Here's what's included in the 1.0.1 Update;

Duel Joysticks - You can now aim in all directions, enabling you to run one way while shooting in another.

1 Hit Kill Shots for Level 1 Zombies. This lets you clear out groups of enemies fairly quickly, instead of needing to run away from them while pumping round after round into the group.

The camera moves more smoothly, improved loading times, and other small fixes have also been added. Not to mention, the awesome new icon!

With this update, players can now make their way through the First Episode of Beyond Dead without getting too frustrated. The loading times for the Map and Pause Menu are still kind of long, and in a game like this, it's essential that bringing up the map is quick and easy. Hopefully when GameSalad updates its engine in the next couple months, it will fix these loading times significantly. But at least you can make it through the game without struggling with the controls.

It's very clear that Monster Robot Studios is committed to making Beyond Dead the most enjoyable experience they can, listening to player's feedback, and optimizing the game as much as possible given their tools. Granted, it will probably never be seen as the essential Metroid like game for the iOS, but it's definitely one that's worth getting if you're a fan of the Metroidvania genre.

As long as we're on the subject of getting the game - Monster Robot Studios has been kind enough to give us 5 Promo Codes for Beyond Dead.
