Recently released on both the Playstation network and on the XBox Live marketplace we have this little gem of a puzzle game, Mercury Hg. You remember those little games you used to get as a kid, where you had to roll all the little stainless steel balls into the holes by tilting the puzzle? Well that is the same basic principal here, with one key difference. You are in fact rolling around a glob of Mercury, this opens up a lot of possibilities.
Is Mercury Hg in it's element on 360?
Here's a snippet:
"The main objective of Mercury Hg is to guide a blob of mercury through a maze like play area littered with traps and obstacles to reach the goal whilst keeping as much of the solution together. This is done by using the left stick to control the mercury and the right stick to tilt the maze to get a better perspective of proceedings."
A collection of 10 of this fall's most oddly-named offerings -- and why you might want to play them.
Goofy title aside, Stealth Bastard looks awesome.
Too bad there's no Mac version.
Lots of funny names in the Kinect Fun Labs.
I believe one is called "Googly Eyes" and it has an amazing theme song.
That Catball game looks trippy as hell. The dogwall eats the entire level? What the heck...
Ignition Entertainment is once again attempting to expand the audience for their once humble Mercury franchise with a brand new digital release. Mercury Hg is available now on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Network for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 respectively, and is the very first version of the videogame designed specifically for the high-definition (HD) formats.
