Fortunately, Trenches has been satisfying my itch for side-scrolling tower defense gaming. Trenches drops you smack dab on top of enemy lines during World War I’s gas, artillery… and yes,…
Richard Knaak’s World of Warcraft Stormrage is getting the audio book treatment, BlizzPlanet points out.

Rare tells us that the game will be playable at the event, and that we can expect to “find out some more tidbits” concerning Perfect Dark’s…
We need more mash-ups in video games. You know, like when a DJ takes two great songs, or two awful songs, and turns them into something all together different, but still recognizable. Take for instance G-Switch. It plays an awful lot like the bastard child of forever-runner Canabalt and gravity-flipper VVVVVV. And it’s pretty great…
At the ripe old age of 3, my Nintendo Wii has officially gone to join the celestial Wii Music choir. Let’s hope it doesn’t take drums. I first received my Wii nine days before Nintendo rolled out its new motion-controlled console to masses of gamers and non-gamers on Nov. 19, 2006. That doesn’t sound like…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: INTERNET PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT LOST!! Again with the Lost! Man, I can’t go anywhere these days without running into. Sometimes I feel like the survivor in a TV pop-culture zombieland. And I don’t watch sports either. It’s like I’m slowly being removed from society, at least the bits that…

The lords and ladies of Arcturia have had it far too good for far too long, with their fancy castles and fancy clothes. It’s time to bring in a medieval siege weapon and do some crushing. The App Store on iTunes is packed with physics-based games that have you tossing, flicking and shooting one object…
Leave it to a gamer to come up with a set of rules to help survive a zombie apocalypse. Early into zombie comedy Zombieland we learn that Columbus is a Code Red-chugging, World-of-Warcraft playing college student. But what did he do for a living before people went all cannibal on him? According to this deleted…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Three Days. No Coffee. I do that sometimes, just for fun. I watched almost zero television for a month while I was in Australia. Also fun. The only downside of kicking coffee for me are the vicious headaches I get. By the way, I’m too lazy to look it up,…

Life in the 24th and 25th century wasn’t all about shooting people with phasers, knocking around aliens and “making it so.” No, the Star Trek universe also has its share of fun diversions including a wide array of drinks, sports, games and even a video game that was highly addictive and sapped a person’s will…

It’s the year 2025 and a mandated world peace gives rise to three Private Military Corporations.
