Geek Syndicate Feb. 2012 | Page 40

Geek Syndicate as you do to them. This isn’t necessarily the best thing with this style of gameplay, making Arc feel a lot less badass and kind of like he deserved to be captured. New weapons and some of the upgrades will cost you plenty of ‘gems’ (the in-game currency), which are very hard to come by at the beginning. There is the option to pay real money for the gems which leads me to believe Glitchsoft’s business plan relies on us buying those via in-app purchases. I could go into a huge debate about whether paying more for the game and having no in-app purchases vs. a cheaper game and buying extras. I know developers need to make money, or we wouldn’t have games to play. I guess it comes down to personal choice. What would you rather do? Having said all that, once you get into the rhythm of the game, and I recommend that you do, it’s great fun and the upgrades and new weapons are a brilliant incentive to keep playing.
