Father Christmas is a very lazy man. He works one day a year, and spends the rest of his time just sitting there, judging children. What a prick. His elves are the real heroes, and are woefully undersung. For instance, they're zooming around everywhere, adding Christmas cheer wherever they can. Even reaching the obscurity of ACE Team's Rock Of Ages. Now featuring snowballs. You can…

ACE Team's bonkers rock-rolling action game, Rock Of Ages, is out now. You can buy it! Even play it! Do you want to? Well, a helpful route to such knowledge comes by reading Jim's verdict on the game. It's available via Steam, and only costs a weeny £7.
It's the dawn of the age of the Rock of Ages, or it will be come next Wednesday when it releases via Steam. It's out on the Xbox already but Ace Team have said that this release date disparity was not because of any exclusivity agreements, "it is just about a small team with a lot of work." To make up for the minor PC…
Atlus have released a trailer (below) for ACE Team's bonkers rolling destruction puzzle game, Rock Of Ages, which demonstrates, via a tour of gaming history, why rock beats everything. We'd argue that shotgun trumps even that, but we don't have a video to prove it.

Rock of Ages is a game RPS has been terribly excited about for quite some time. Why? Well, because it's about rolling a giant, apparently sentient and sadistic boulder through art, history and the history of art, with graphics by someone doing a very convincing Terry Gilliam impression. VIDEOGAMES!Our desperate anticipation for this next game from the Zeno Clash madmen should soon be over -…
Ace dev team ACE Team have released a new trailer for their boulder-rolling history-of-art puzzle game, Rock Of Ages, and it shows the ball in action, doing funnies. Previously we saw power ups which embue your happy rolling rock with temporary powers, such as being tough, or being on fire, and there's some of these here, too. If only life had temporary power ups beyond…
It really is about time we caught up on Rock Of Ages trailers, don't you think. The next game from the mad geniuses behind Zeno Clash, ACE Team, is a combination of tower defence and Marble Madness, because that's the way those people think. And there's lots of bits of the Pythonesque madness to look at below, including a ten minute walkthrough of how it…
Now we've gotten to the bottom of why the boulder is smiling, we at RPS haven't a single reservation about Rock of Ages. Just look at it! It is literally rock and roll. This is going to be an amazing game. And if you watch the following trailer, you'll discover that even the powerups are going to be pretty good. We've got Iron Bands, Fireball,…
Ace Team, the Chilean studio behind the fantastically unusual first person beat 'em up Zeno Clash, are now making a game that combines bowling with art history. It's called Rock Of Ages, and it's a game of two halves. One half is that of a boulder crashing around destroying stuff, the other is about defending things from that errant ball of rock. Sounds suitably strange,…
The next game from Zeno Clash creators Ace Team, which will be coming out on the PC as well as the TV fun extenders in early 2011, is Rock Of Ages. It looks delightfully batshit awesome, as you can see from the most recent trailer, which I've totally gone and embedded right below these words. Said trailer shows a selection of things that the rock…

Also looking awesome this week: the next game from the Chilean team who gave us weirdo biff 'em up Zeno Clash. It's called Rock Of Ages and it appears to be a mixture of strategy game and, er, bowling? Two opposing castles attempt to crush each other in surrealistic rock-rolling warfare with defences constructed turn by turn to defend against the heinous stone attack. If…
