Interstellar Defence Troops is 50% Off!


Remember our review of the game Interstellar Defence Troops by Winter Rain Games?  Well, for a limited time only, they're having an X-mas sale!  50% off of this great game, bringing the price down to just $5.  Let us catch you up on how amazing of a deal this is:

For $5 you'll get:

  • Stunning graphics.  They are beautiful all-around and it's absolutely mesmerizing when you see them in action.
  • Solid, flowing gameplay.  This is one of the best tower defense games on the market, and it's even CHEAPER for a limited time.
  • Progressively challenging levels.  The more you play (and trust me you will play a LOT) the harder it gets. Sometimes, that sh*t cray.
  • A well-rounded, fully-immersive game.  This game will make you access every part of your brain and then some.
  • One of the best indie and tower defense games on the market.  There is really no match when comparing Interstellar Defence Troops to another game.  IDT tops all other tower defense games out there.

For $10, this game is amazing and a must-own.  Now it's only $5 and the question is why aren't you playing it right now?

After all, you deserve to treat yourself.  Treat yourself like a King.  And Interstellar Defence King.

You can purchase IDT for $5 at http://wiraingames.com/

Call of Duty: Social Network


Everyone has played Call of Duty.  Yes, even you hardcore Battlefield fans know you have played it at least once.  If not, you certainly can't hate on it.  The Call of Duty series is arguably the most well-known first-person shooter out there.  With millions of individual hours clocked in on a weekly basis, people wonder what draws everyone into the Call of Duty experience.  We have an idea:  Call of Duty is a Social Network.

Sonic Generations Review: Stick With Your Memories

 
  The "Blue Blur" has always been a favorite character of mine.  Ever since the days of the Sega Genesis, Sonic the Hedgehog has captured all of our hearts and attention. Since Sonic has evolved from a two-dimensional sprite to a three-dimensional, high definition blue ball of speed, there seems to be no limit to what he can do.  That is, until now.

The Black Eyed Peas Experience Got That Boom Boom Pow!


We've all played dancing games before: Dance Central, Just Dance, and let's not forget Dance Dance Revolution!  Then sometimes a dancing game comes along and just turns it into something totally different.  This "game" is more of an actual "experience," however.  The name of that game is The Black Eyed Peas Experience (BEP.)  With all the other dance games out there, are those chickens jackin' their style?

Aldorlea Games Has the "Laxius" Force


We all have video games that stick with us from our childhood and throughout our life.  For me, it's always been about the role-playing games.  While most RPGs focus solely on "go from point A to point B, fight monster C,"  they still have great stories that make you feel as if you're playing a book.  Hours upon hours of gameplay can be spent and you'll still have more story to uncover.  While some RPGs today don't have those intertwining stories that can be seen all the way back from the NES, one storyline has a massive one:  Laxius Force.  Just how massively awesome is it, though?

Insterstellar Defence Troops is One Stellar Game!


Have you ever played a tower defense game and wished it was more in space?  Well, there's a game out there (and we mean out there) that allows you to control a Command Center and a fleet of different bodies to collect minerals and resources.  You can grow as a "space team" and become the best fleet in the universe (literally!)  But how does the game do in the universe of strategy games?

Mountain Dew Game Fuel: Tropical Review


With the release of any new game or movie comes promotional items, and boy do they come in waves.  With video games, though, most of these promotions are through food and drink.  Now, with the GINORMOUS release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Mountain Dew has released their newest edition of Game Fuel, their gamer-oriented drink of choice.

We’ve seen Mountain Dew’s Game Fuel before when it was World of Warcraft-inspired and once when it was Halo inspired.  With the success of Game Fuel then, it’s no surprise that it’s back and ready to “Search and Destroy” all other gamer drinks out there.  But does the newest drink flavor Capture the Flag?

Wal-Mart Black Friday Ad Released; Geeks Rejoice!

So, in case you haven't heard, Wal-Mart has officially leaked (aka released) their Black Friday Ad.  This is much earlier than they ever have, so now people can plan ahead how they will decimate the store.  With all these deals, it is about to go DOWN.

The Red Solstice is Definitely A Game-Changer

Screw P. Diddy, we want to wake up in the morning feeling like this guy!

Remember earlier when we talked about the Future of Gaming?  Well, here's what's shaping up to be the first step giant leap for game-kind.  We give our thoughts on the upcoming game and even sit down for a chat with Ironward Games' Hrvoje Horvatek.  He's got some great things to say about what's shaping up to be one of the greatest team games.

The Future of Gaming


Gaming has come a long way.  Some of you may remember, or have played, the original Pong.  A classic and a revolution, Pong started what we all call "video gaming" now.  Video games have come a long way since then, and what we see now almost seemed impossible then.  It almost makes you think:  what will the future of gaming be like?

Vuzix Gives Us A Virtual Reality Check!


Entertainment has been evolving sevenfold as of the last 5 years.  HDTV then turned into 3DTV, which is sure to change in the next couple of years.  How will it change, though?  Putting you into the movie, show, or game.  This is possible with the next level of entertainment, Virtual Eyewear.

The Great Little War Game You Should All Be Playing


Have you ever sat there and whittled away hours upon hours playing a game?  We've done that numerous times on phones, tablets, consoles -- you name it.  There's tons of games out there: puzzle, action, RPG, FPS, but the one we always try (and usually fail at) are those strategy games.  In turn, this usually has us backing out at the thought of it.  That all changed with this Great Little War Game.

The Adventures of Puppyman and His Owner, Cameron



As a kid, I used to play games all of the time.  They were, and still are, a vital part of who I am.  Not only did I play them to pass the time, but I also played them to learn and help enforce some hand-eye coordination.  A game I used to play a lot was called Sesame Street Counting Cafe.  It was great for teaching counting and numbers.  Those times have come and gone, and now there's family friendly, casual apps to take its place, such as the Adventures of Puppyman.

Rusty Axe's Skills Aren't Too Rusty



Have you ever played a game and realized just how fun it is? We've recently been taken back to our roots with Dungeon Brawl and Dungeon Demon, two games made by Rusty Axe Games.  Not only did we nostalgia, but we even got to see an awesome program that lets you create the game.  How bad ass is that, right?

Is It the Casual Gamer's Time to Shine?


It all started out with board games.  Board games have their fair share of casual players and hardcore players.  Anyone can see this when it comes to chess and checkers, but did you know Monopoly actually has championship tournaments?

Since then, video games are well on their way to becoming the most popular form of entertainment.  As with board games, gamers can also be casual players or hardcore players.With the rise in smart phones, tablets, and the lack of time causing the rise of casual gaming?

Five Games That Need to be On Wii U!



Nintendo has an upcoming console that many people are excited about: the Wii U.  A handful of games have been rumored and announced for the system, but we have a list all our own that we feel would be best suited for the Wii U!  Alongside a surely new Mario game, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Darksiders 2, and some Raving Rabbids game that we all saw coming, we're sure these games would be even more awesome with their new tablet controller.

Top 5 Reasons Grand Theft Auto Five Should Come to New Orleans



We've all played, and loved, Grand Theft Auto.  San Andreas, Liberty City, Vice City: all great fictional towns, and their counterparts (Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, in that order,) are equally as awesome.  But, with games the like of L.A. Noire and Saints Row the Third, Grand Theft Auto has a lot it has to bring to make it not only a hit game, but a good game.  What is "it," though?  How about a little bit of actual Southern flair?

Fire and Dice: One Game That Brings the Heat!


We talked about Sky Parlor Studios last wonderful app, Carnival of Games.  It was awesome and we loved playing it's different games again and again.  They recently released their newest game on iOS and Android called Fire and Dice.  We played it. It's hot.  But just how hot is it?

Dark Souls: A Soul-Crusher to Remember


It all started when my girlfriend bought me a PlayStation 3.  It was a random gift that she got me just because she wanted to.  It was possibly the best gift anyone has ever received from a girlfriend or wife "just because they wanted to."  She then left me to play my new system with the new game God of War III.  That game was epic in all senses of the word; or so I thought.
