The general aim of the game is to use your finger like a hammer and splat the cartoon rats on screen, in a similar way to the old arcade hammer games.

There are 4 variations of the game but is one is stress relieving and is a good giggle.

I do like the skiing games that use the Balance Board though.

There have been a number of videos released which show how the game play works in detail….and the game is looking superb.

The Trailer for the game really shows this use of technology to full effect, showing how hand movements are used to facilitate battles, by virtually pushing your troops forward they charge into battle.

This game is a really good example of how touch screens can be used to their potential.

In a technolical twist the game appears to be compatible with the soon to be release Microsoft Surface Interface where users interact with the computer through a touch screen table top.

The video below shows how well this form of control really integrates traditional Table Top War Gaming with technology.

It perfectly sets the scene for a great adventure and helps define the famous atmosphere and game surroundings.

Memories!!!
