One of the iPhone and iPod Touch‘s answers to Advanced Wars now supports online play. I mostly-loved Mecho Wars when I reviewed it this summer.

To: Ash From: Crecente I know you had a scare. But besides that did you have a nice Halloween? I spent mine drinking whiskey, handing out candy to kids and watching They Live. Good times.

Now’s your chance! Round up your copies of movies BloodRayne, House of the Dead and Postal and hand them over to Uwe Boll.

Back in July, Lisa Foiles (of Nickelodeon’s All That fame) wrote up a blog response to a post Owen Good wrote up about Girl Gamers. In it she argued that girls who play games are not rare, but girl gamers are. Tonight she sent along this pic of her dressed as Harley Quinn with a…
It’s hard not to get excited about the return of American McGee’s Alice. Aptly named Return of Alice, American McGee’s next twisted Alice game is shooting to outdo the original. EA Partners said they went to McGee because he had a passion for the IP and gave him a blank canvas to work with. And…
To: Owen From: Crecente I introduced Tristan to Plants Vs. Zombies earlier this week, installing it on his laptop. He is no completely addicted. He just sits there, before bedtime, playing the game quietly. It’s kinda creepy. Creepier still, Trish sometimes backseat plays, pointing out the suns dropping on the screen or telling him where…
News of a new, extra-large, extra-priced portable from Nintendo was met more with confusion than enthusiasm when it was unveiled this week. The DSi XL has screens that are an inch bigger than the DSi, comes with a regular sized and extra large stylus and is closer to size of a netbook than it is…

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: It’s still snowing here, we’re up to, probably past, two feet on the ground. It’s crazy. Good thing I work from home. Tristan built an igloo in the front yard today and then spent the afternoon sledding down a nearby hill. So great. I used to love sledding when I…
