A Review of Game of Thrones Trivia from Eternus Entertainment

Quick Review – Shadow Cave: The Escape

We’ve covered game maker Artbit in the past for their efforts on the wickedly fun Shane Reaction, and now we’re looking at an older title of theirs called Shadow Cave: The Escape. There aren’t any zombies in this one, but it does a moody unique setting just like Shane Reaction…

Shadow Cave: The Escape takes you on a journey through dark & mysterious caves and your only goal is to escape. You’ll basically trace a path through the caves with your finger and your little character represented by a ball of light will follow along behind you. It actually starts out pretty easy, but it doesn’t take long before you encounter deadly traps and gear driven devices that can help or hinder you along the way. There’s even a “big boss” battle at the end, and true to the title he’s pretty damned big. There are only 9 caves in …

Samsung’s event started off a little as as we got treated with Muzak and floating bubbles which didn’t necessarily get me “hyped up” while I was waiting. At 2:04 things kicked off with a video presentation unveiling the phone with a mini-orchestra playing in the background. Nice close ups of the orchestra, people blowing bubbles, and some pigeons. After about 3 minutes of video montages JK Shin hit the stage, explained why the phone is so bad assed, and we finally got to see the phone and hear its actual name… The Samsung Galaxy S3.  Here’s a brief rundown of what we …
