Jetpack Joyride - Video Preview
Originally called Machine Gun Jetpack, Halfbrick Studio's new fast-paced side-scroller for iOS called Jetpack Joyride has expanded. It now allows players to use a variety of vehicles, in addition to six other less machine gun-centric jetpacks. Game Informer's Ben Reeves caught up with lead programmer Richard McKinney on the PAX show floor to talk about the creation of the new game and the release philosophy of Halfbrick Studios. The creators of Fruit Ninja are set to unleash their latest creation on the iOS marketplace this Thursday.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
