Gratuitous Tank Battles

Set in a future where WW2 never ended or some such, Gratuitous Tank Battles expands on the standard tower defense formula. Walkers, tanks, and infantry assail your fortifications and trenches! But can you hold them off? Gratuitous Tank Battles lets players play both sides of the Tower Defense genre, and each level allows players to defend or attack, using units the player has designed as well as the pre-generated units. While this effectively doubles the number of levels to...

Review: Doom 3 BFG Edition – Big F’ing Game

Doom 3 is back and it is better than ever. Now completely re-mastered for the 20th anniversary of the series, and packed with all sorts of extras including eight brand new levels together called The Lost Mission. If that’s not enough, Doom 3 BFG Edition also includes the Resurrection of Evil add-on, network multiplayer availability, as well as the classic Doom and Doom II games.

Review: Monaco – C’est Magnifique!

It would be fair to say that by and large, games that employ stealth mechanics are generally loathed. The trial and error of it all generally lends itself to ridicule and a dismissal of the game in question all together. It’s too bad really, because it excludes a large amount of people from trying out some games that are truly fun. Monaco happens to be one of those games. It should be established right off the bat that this game has a straight up Ocean’s Eleven...

Review: Teleglitch Review – Expect to Die

Teleglitch is a top-down roguelike shooter. Pixelated retro graphics and minimalist sounds complement the game’s retro genre, but don’t be deceived! Teleglitch delivers intense and unforgiving gameplay. With so many games featuring such gentle gameplay, (Regenerating health, anyone?) it’s refreshing to see something different. FPS veterans will be right at home with Teleglitch’s WSAD movement and mouse aiming system. Aside from this, the controls are very simple...

9.5Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – Mark IV Style

  Yeah, sure, Far Cry 3’s crazy drugbender island adventure was great, but where were the lasers? Blood Dragon answers this burning question. Blood Dragon is a fantastic homage to the campy sci-fi of the 80s and 90s, when the future was a neon apocalypse filled with robots and lasers. It’s overflowing with jokes and references spanning videogames, movies, and television. I’d love to say more, but half the fun of the jokes is in the surprise of their discovery, and...

6.5Zombie Tycoon 2 – You’ll Wish Someone Ate Your Brains

Zombie Tycoon 2 seemed to be a promising idea when I saw the first press releases coming from Frima Studios. Having never played the original I decided to go in with an open mind and not take the original into account and just take this title for what it is. Who wouldn’t want to play a real-time strategy game featuring zombie classes and absurd monstrosities? Well, it didn’t take long for me to realize that person was undoubtedly me. The zombies are...
