Fans of Two Worlds 2 will be pleased to hear that Topware Interactive is releasing free DLC this Easter weekend. This DLC will add a defense multiplier mode and 5 new maps. This defense mode involves teaming up to defeat waves of enemies to finally defeat Gandohar, the villain from the campaign. So players will have to focus on teamwork and utilizing all their skills.
What’s more the fans are the main reason the DLC was made as there was a lot of interest in remaking the old Castle Defense-style gameplay for Two Worlds 2. Listening to all the feedback, Topware Interactive designed this DLC just for them. It’s great seeing developers seriously looking at their fans interests and comments. It’s even better when it leads to something free for the fans to enjoy too. If you’re one of the fans that helped craft this DLC or if you’re just a fan of the game in general be sure to check it out.
InnoGames is getting into the Easter season for their game Lagoonia. What are they up to? Hidden across the islands in game are different colored eggs for the player to collect. These eggs can be anywhere from the beach, to the jungle, to rocks, to the ship wreck on the island. But, players will only be able to find eggs until the 11th, so they should hop to it.
But, InnoGames isn’t just having eggs lying around just so players can find them. Because of Lagoonia‘s focus on relationships between characters and players, eggs can be used as resources to build special Easter buildings based on the color of the egg. While the finished Easter buildings will stay as long as players like, unused eggs and unfinished buildings will disappear after April 18th. So, get hunting and get cracking!

Egg Drop! Developer: Pezzini Games Publisher: Pezzini Games Platforms: iPad, iPhone (Reviewed), iPod Touch Release Date: March 28, 2012 Price: $0.99 Buy it Here
Overview
Egg Drop! is a keep the ball up game right in time for Easter. Does Pezzini Games have a simple but addictive hit or did they drop the egg on this game? We promise to do our best to keep the egg puns at a hare minimum.
Story
There isn’t much of a story in Egg Drop! However, it is important to remember for every egg you drop, you’re probably destroying an Easter egg destined for a young child. Let the guilt wash over you.
Visuals
Egg Drop! is cartoony and colourful with rainbows and flashy coloured eggs that look great. The UI is simple but flawless. This is definitely a game I would have no problem giving to my young cousins to keep them occupied for an hour or two when they ask to play on my iPhone.
Audio
The sound effects are lacking, as there is only one sound effect for the countdown. I would have liked to see at least a sound effect for the eggs touching the bottom of the screen or when you launch an egg into the air. The banjo music that accompanies the game however is catchy and enjoyable to listen to as long as you don’t harbor some deep hate for banjo music.
Gameplay
Egg Drop! is a simple keep the ball up game where you will juggle one to five eggs at a time. Players start with three eggs and three lives and juggle more eggs for extra points. These eggs and other power ups can be collected in spheres that drop from the top of the screen. But be careful, let an egg hit the ground and you lose a life. The game idea itself is simple enough to have a great potential for highly addictive game play that will have you playing over and over again until you beat your last high score. Unfortunately, Egg Drop! is plagued with several issues that make the game annoying or downright unplayable at times. First of all, tapping the egg will not bounce the egg up into the air. The eggs only detect a tap when the player taps underneath the egg. This problem is especially frustrating when eggs are falling fast and in great numbers. The next problem is the game has serious issues with lag. Loading from menus into the game comes with long loading screens for such a simple game. Worst of all, the long loading screens doesn’t stop the game from lagging horribly on an iPhone 4 at times. The lag at its worst turns the game into a frame by frame stop motion game. I found restarting the phone and not running any other applications on my phone helped but it is quite the hassle to go through these steps to play such a simple game.
Overall
I can’t recommend Egg Drop! at this point in time. With some patching to deal with the lag issues and the inaccurate touch screen controls, Egg Drop! could become a very addictive and simple game. But in its current state, I would struggle to recommend it even if it was free.
