I’m Iron Man. You’re Iron Man. We’re all Iron Man in this game, which takes its namesake– and truth be told, we’re not sure how much else, so no intentional spoilers here– from the new summer action movie that hits theatres this Friday and is already being screened in Europe.  Read More →

Zombies, zombies, zombies. We honestly think that if a zombie apocalypse were to happen now, we would be pretty well prepared. What with action, strategy, puzzle, and defense games–and even zombie exercise apps–we can’t think of any zombie situation that we aren’t prepared for. Now we’ve got House of the Dead: Overkill – The Lost Reels to show us what a zombie invasion would be like if it took place in an old-school exploitation film.  Read More →

They Need To Be Fed 2 is a next-generation platformer that tosses aside flat worlds and replaces them with small planetoids and gravity.

This game features seven different worlds, each filled with challenging maps and unique obstacles.  Read More →

There is a famous moment in Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land where Michael Valentine Smith, the man from Mars, is watching three monkeys in a zoo.

Transformers Legends is unlike anything we’ve ever played before. From what we can tell, there doesn’t seem to be any particular rhyme or reason to why the card battles work the way they do. You’ll win and lose without having any good idea as to just why–and yet it manages to be fun enough that you might not even care.  Read More →

Draw Something 2 attempts to make something more than just a game. Sure, everything you loved about the first Draw Something is still here. There are plenty of fun words to draw with a variety of colors and tools, but you can’t play Draw Something 2 in a vacuum. It’s meant to be played with friends. You can play with friends from your contact list or Facebook, or make new friends through the game’s random match option. Either way, the game is laid out more like a Twitter feed than a game menu. Draw Something 2 is creating its own social hub, centered around art and gaming.  Read More →

In a quiet little town nestled between two cliffs, families gather for the evening. A small meal is laid out on the table. There’s a knock at the door. “That’s odd,” Father says, “it’s too late for guests.” Little do they know there’s a war going on in this quiet town, between two opposing teams of monsters, that threatens to tear Haunted Hollow apart.  Read More →

The Dark Knight has always been a bit of a loner. Fighting crime, righting wrongs, embarrassing the police and protecting the citizens of Gotham are all things he likes to do on his own. But sometimes even the Caped Crusader needs a little help from his friends, and luckily in his newest adventure LEGO Batman: DC Superheroes, the Bat grudgingly (very grudgingly in Superman’s case) learns to love.  Read More →

Crabs have a bad rap. Angry people are described as crabby. Roger Corman made a marginally scary movie about them.  They’re associated with uncomfortable parasites. In fact, the only time people seem to love crabs is when they’re boiled, cracked open with hammers, and eaten with butter and a little lemon juice. Mmm, delicious. But never mind that. What we’re saying is that it’s time for the crabs to strike back, and Crabitron is the game that finally gives them their due.

You can play an iPhone in its vertical orientation. You can play it in its horizontal orientation. But there are darn few games that take advantage of the iPhone’s little-known third gaming orientation: stuck to your forehead. Heads Up! is one of those games.  Read More →

Wizard Ops Tactics takes the asynchronous multiplayer model established by games like Hero Academy and expands it. It features customizable teams of wizards that battle in eerie magical arenas. Like a game of chess, there are more options here can you would initially think. For some, this game might be the perfect challenge. For others, it might require too much of a time investment.  Read More →
