Jam's Pick of the Week

ALWAYS! I WANNA BEEE WITH YOU!
AND MAKE BELIEVE WITH YOU!
AND LIVE IN HARMONY, HARMONY OH LOOOVE!


This is the manliest game you'll play this year (until Shank gets released).

Robot Unicorn Attack, released by Adult Swim games, is the latest and greatest in the line of "run to the right" games. In this lovely entry to the genre, you play as a robot unicorn, running to create rainbows as you leap through the air and use your magic horn to smash through stars frozen in place, releasing their epic magic and granting you the companionship of fast moving, golden dolphins. No, I'm not making any of this up.

The game starts you with 3 wishes (lives) that you use to run and jump to the right collecting fairies and smashing through stars. As the robot unicorn, you can jump, double jump, and use your horn to do a dash attack which not only breaks through stars but also gives you a fair amount of distance to use on those wider chasms. High scores go up on a scoreboard on the Adult Swim website so you can compare your score with others, some of which will probably blow you away.

Besides the simple and addictive formula and eye catching graphics (who doesn't love a rainbow trailing a unicorn?), the game features the best song you've never heard - "Always" by Erasure, as its theme. After your first play through you'll definitely be singing it to yourself, and along with other people who have played the game. There are more every day!

I can't recommend this game enough as your daily time waster. The song, the graphics, the soul crushing heartbreak when your robot unicorn comes to a sudden and explosive stop, all blend together to create the game of the freakin' year!!

HOLD ON TO THE NIGHT!
THERE WILL BE NO SHAME!!

- Jam

I personally can't stop playing it. I was up 'till 2 playing this damn thing even though I knew I had to be up in 5 hours to work the Honolulu Festival.
