Hardest Games of the Early 90’s

Hardest Games of the Early 90’s

Forget Call of Duty on Veteran Mode, the 90’s had some of what had to be the hardest games to date! Sure, they didn’t sport high definition 3D graphics, brilliant character modeling and gorgeous texturing, but by Jove they were controller breaking difficult! From your fast paced platforming games, to your nerve racking spaceship games, I’ve sifted the hard from the near enough impossible to flood you with memories of being stuck on that boss, or wading through that nightmarish level. Snake Rattle and Roll I applaud anyone who actually managed to finish this game! The aim was simple, complete each of the eleven stages without losing all segments from Read more »

Zombies, Run!

Zombies Run

No one can deny that Kickstarter is a great place to discover all sorts of cool stuff, and what I came across today is simply more proof. Zombies, Run! is a video game project being developed in the UK by Six to Start and Naomi Alderman. It is an iOS and Android app that is all about, well, zombies! With all the hype about zombies, I have heard of some people who simply have had enough of the undead. However, I do believe that there are still more who just can’t get enough of anything zombie-related. From movies to books to art to games – zombies have this special attraction Read more »

Still Addicted to Angry Birds?

Everywhere I go these days, I see something related to Angry Birds. To be honest, I think that the hype has outlived its use a long time ago. However, entrepreneurs are still jumping on the Angry Birds bandwagon. I have seen bags, hats, plushies, pillows, shirts, key rings, and all sorts of other merchandise with the Angry Birds characters in them. Perhaps it is an indication that a good number of people still have an Angry Birds addiction. Perhaps it’s just trying to milk the brand for what it’s worth. In any case, if you are still one of those of who have an Angry Birds addiction, then you will Read more »

5 Minutes to Kill Yourself: Airport Edition

5 Minutes to Kill Yourself: Airport Edition

Upon reflection, 5 Minutes to Kill Yourself: Airport Edition is pretty close to the realities of airport check in sequences. Long lines, bad food, and umm… machine gun nests are some of the staples of your typical airport impediments that want to get you killed. Surprisingly, there are absolutely no TSA pat-down references. For the unfamiliar, the “5 Minutes to Kill Yourself” series is a franchise of flash games from Adult Swim where the main goal is to inflict as much damage to your toon as possible, killing yourself within 5 minutes. The first version was set in an office; killing yourself with paper cutters, staplers, and copying machines was Read more »

The Awesomeness that is Army of Darkness Defense

The Awesomeness that is Army of Darkness Defense

You can’t possibly question it. Army of Darkness was one of my favorite cult classics. So when we discovered that Army of Darkness Defense was available on FREE TO DOWNLOAD for a limited time (as of this writing it still is!), there was no question about it: It was my turn to defend the Necronomicon. You star as Bruce Campbell’s most memorable B film character — the time traveling Ash — department store salesman brought back to a medieval age to help the humans defend their castle against the evil Deadite constructs. The Army of Darkness franchise is very much alive making its first crossover in Marvel Comics. This time, Read more »

Sci-Fi Drinking Games That Will Make You Host of the Year

Some people have the knack of being the life of the party or throwing parties that guests keep talking about in the months after.

Humans vs. Zombies: It’s the Real Thing

Before there was Plants vs. Zombies, there was Humans vs. Zombies.  Don’t believe me? I don’t know if you have heard of this “movement” in universities all over the world.
