Gamezebo Rating:

In spite of the hundreds of apps that keep coming out, Angry Birds just keeps on truckin?. But did you know that the phenomenon was, in fact, a clone of another game called Crush the Castle? The publisher of that oft-overlooked title is back with Siege Hero, and in spite of how good it is, it?s now clear why Angry Birds succeeded where Crush the Castle didn?t; Angry Birds has a soul.

MonkeyPaw Games has its sight set on further remakes screenshot

MonkeyPaw Games has been terrific about bringing treasured games from Japan to the masses by way of PlayStation Network. And, currently, the company is in the process of reviving BurgerTime. It's hard not to like these guys. In a chat with president John Greiner, Siliconera found out about what could be next.

When asked if MonkeyPaw plans to do more games in the vein of BurgerTime HD, Greiner said: "We have a number of target titles in our sights. So first we need to prove that we have a winning hand with BurgerTime. Then we can show how we plan to upgrade our next game with similar evolutionary treatment."

As for wholly original titles, he says that "There are so many games that didn’t get to expand on the vision of their creator. We’d love to get access to those game designers and pick their mind as to what they would have done to advance the game further."

In more explicit terms, Greiner admits "We are creating new IP for the digital download formats as well."
