Allied Star Police is a pretty good twist on the tower defense theme and you can get it for iOS here for free. This is a PopCap game designed by ten-year-old Owain Weinert. PopCap met Owain in April when Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Alaska & Washington told us about his wish to make a video game. [...]
My phone, a Samsung Galaxy S, has been running CyanogenMod 7 for the past week or so. The first week was a bit rocky. The phone ignored vibration settings at first and would vibrate when ringing, and when I hung up. In one call I couldn’t hear the caller at all! It also ignored my ringtone [...]
Spelunky looks like a modern day Rick Dangerous and that gets my thumbs up! Dig n Rig reminds me of Terraria but it’s not. SkyIsland is a fairly cool browser based platformer with a 3D twist! A Flipping Good Time is a 2D platformer with a gravity twist. Of those I’ve only played SkyIsland. I [...]
The latest Humble Bundle is out featuring Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVV, And Yet it Moves and Hammerfight. I already have most of the games, I don’t have Cogs and Hammerfight, but I’ll buy the bundle anyway. It’s a good deal as it’s “pay what you want”!

Yes, yes, yes. Footage of the alpha test of the game is making it’s way around the net but you won’t find it here. The game is far from complete but shows lots of promise. Oh yes, check out the battlelog too. That would be the social interface to the game DICE are working on. [...]
It would seem that friends playing together is regarded as team stacking in Team Fortress 2. On one hand that’s great because the server is free to balance teams but it sucks when you want to play with friends you’re chatting with on Skype. Any notion of playing strategically as a team goes out the [...]
Minecraft is dead, long live Minecraft! The old map that used to be on the Minecraft server is gone, and replaced with a fabulous map generated from the seed “fly”. Don’t worry, the old map isn’t completely gone. When you login there’s a link to the zip file where you can download it, and instructions [...]
