Dashy Crashy Turbo, the much-expanded update for Dashy Crashy, easily fought off the competition to win this year's Big Indie Pitch at Apps World - and it thoroughly deserved it.If you loved Dashy Crash, then you'll be pleased to hear that Turbo is more of the same - just much bigger.You're still racing along a motorway, avoiding cars and speeding to boost your score. But you've got new vehicles to unlock, each of which comes with its own minigame.These range from delivering pizzas to abducting vehicles in a UFO, and you'll boost your score if you're successful in your endeavours.You can also unlock modifications for your collection of cars, discover secret cars while racing, win medals, and a brand new UI that's much slicker than before.But most importantly, the new version has a new name which it has thoroughly earned - Dashy Crashy Turbo.So congratulations to the developers on winning the Big Indie Pitch and good luck with the launch of this exciting new update!...

Previously, Lab Zero Games announced a name change for the PS Vita (and PS4) version of its 2D fighting game Skullgirls. It's now called Skullgirls 2nd Encore.The reason for the name change was due to extra features being available in these upcoming versions of the game not available in other ones.What Lab Zero didn't mention is what these new features would be. But now the studio has rectified that.As such, we now know that Skullgirls 2nd Encore will add a fully-voiced Story Mode, a Challenges, Trials, and a Survival Mode.To clarify: Challenges give you unique battle conditions to beat opponents (such as not jumping against Big Band), while Trials tests your ability to perform combos.Survival mode is endless and is a test of how many enemies you can take on before defeat.Lab Zero also reiterated that it would support cross-play between all PlayStation versions of the game. And that cross-buy would be supported between the PS4 and PS Vita.It'll also have a full platinum trophy set for all you trophy hunters out there.Now you know what makes Skullgirls 2nd Encore so special. When it will be available to buy is unknown but it's expected in the "coming months."....

The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has forcd the developers behind the uber popular Moshi Monsters to change aspects of the free to play game, because it "directly pressured children to make purchases".The browser-based game is free to play, but there's a paid membership option with lots of extras and benefits. The ASA took Mind Candy to task for the way it sold that membership to its young audience.The game uses "language and prominent calls to action that put pressure on young players to purchase a subscription to take part in additional gameplay".Messages like "MEMBERS GET MORE MISSIONS AND Unique Moshlings!" were displayed to players. And players would be greeted with text like "ATTENTION: YOU NEED TO BE A MOSHI MEMBER TO ENTER THIS AREA ABOUT MEMBERSHIPS!"Free to payAlso, Mind Candy got a rap on the knuckles for that ol' free to play favourite - making the buy button much bigger and more prominent than the close button, on pop-ups about purchases.What's more, the game used phrases such as "The Super Moshis need YOU" and "Members are going to be super popular", to put pressure on young players to purchase the subscription.In response to this ruling, Mind Candy has altered the game. The changes include removing the 'Now' direction and re-wording information about Super Moshi Missions.This probably won't affect most free to play games - the fact that the game is for kids was a large factor in the ASA's ruling - but it's an interesting case for the industry going forward.MCV....
