Spyro and Caesar get new mobile game incarnations
Eragon also on the way from Vivendi Games Mobile
It's a busy week for Vivendi, which has announced three new mobile games, all of which might be familiar for one reason or another.
Spyro The Legend is the latest mobile game to be based on popular console dragon Spyro, and looks set to be another colourful and fun platform adventure.
It's based on an upcoming new console game, and Vivendi is promising smooth animation and top-notch graphics on the mobile version to match it. Spyro will evolve and get new skills throughout the game, there's a proper storyline, and the gameplay is a mixture of fighting, jumping, flying and puzzle-solving, so it could have a bit more depth than the average platformer.
Meanwhile, Caesar is the first mobile version of the famous PC city-building strategy game. You play as a provincial Roman governer, and have to design and build your own city, protecting it against disease, disaster and enemies while trousering as much gold as possible to fuel its expansion.
There'll be 15 different buildings to choose from, and three different city types: continental, desert and Mediterranean (I'm not sure which of those Colchester would fit into, mind).
Finally, Eragon is another dragon-themed game, this time based on a movie of the same name. You get to play the hero, Eragon, and also his dragon Saphira.
The game takes the form of an action adventure, with multiple paths through the story and the option to customise Eragon's skills. For example, you can make him better at close-range combat or long-range magic.
All three games are due out this month.
