Eli has loved mobile games since his dad showed him the magic of Game & Watch. He can't quite remember when he started loving puns.

    I've never understood why 'playing fair' is such a central tenet of childhood learning. Have any of these teachers even played Mario Party? In all seriousness, some of the most fun I've had with my friends involves activities that feature frantic, fun-filled jostling for supremacy. So when independent developer Alistair Aitcheson used the words "cheating and stealing are encouraged" in describing Galaxyball 2113...actually, I got a little too excited and blacked out, so I'm vague on the details of what happened next.

    Irrupt Review

    By

    To say Irrupt is minimalist - that it's a game in which there's not a lot to do - is an understatement. In fact, there's only one thing to do: press and hold. Faced with such stark simplicity, it might be tempting to dismiss Irrupt for the game that it isn't. But then, that would mean missing out on the elegant little gem that it is.

    House of the Lost Preview

    By

    When F5 Games (Pocket Heroes) approached us about their next game, I was curious what the ambitious indie studio had cooked up. Digging a little deeper, it seems that House of the Lost is a vibrant, adorable roguelike inspired by cartoon ghost stories and classic gaming. Think of it as The Legend of Zelda meets The Binding of Isaac. Now, I'm left with only one more question: when did Halloween become Christmas!?

    The Flight of Tyto Preview

    Indie team mounting small projects meant to remind people of eras gone by are a dime a dozen in today's gaming landscape. But I'll be damned if I'm not some sort of nostalgia addict, because every single time I hear about another throwback title, I get excited. With that said, indie duo Pixel Sunrise just might have something special with their sophomore title The Flight of Tyto, which looks to put a new spin on the good old days.

    The birds you’re looking for: Rovio’s Star Wars toys revealed!

    By

    It was just this past Friday that we reported on Rovio's tantalizing teaser for an upcoming announcement in New York City. An announcement happening seven hours from now, involving Toys'R'Us and Star Wars. Thanks to the crack investigative journalism of the Gamezebo news team, and a stolen time machine, we've managed to uncover the details of Angry Birds' next merchandising move. Wait, what? This just in: I'm getting word it wasn't a time machine that helped us...it was the internet.

    Pig Out: 5 games that escape the bacon shortage

    By

    Last week, fear spread around the web - and the world - about something many of us hold dear to our hearts. The environment? The election? Who are you kidding!? I'm talking about bacon. Specifically, the impending 2013 shortage of it due to destroyed corn and soybean crops.  I know. Even bringing it up again is a travesty.

    Angry Birds Tumblr page teases Star Wars toy partnership

    A long time ago, in a Rovio far, far away...hm. Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? Don't worry though, you'll have plenty of time to get used to the sentiment, as it seems that the company is about to kick off a huge partnership with LucasArts and the Star Wars brand.

    Kickstarter Picks: Old-School RPG

    By

    As someone who started gaming with an NES, I often lament the death of the instruction booklet. Full of color, packed with a tantalizing look at the game world you were about to enter; like having dessert before the meal. For fans of classic RPGs - packed as they were with cloth maps, intricate ornaments, and more - I can only imagine the pain of today's trinket-free industry. Don't worry: Brenda Brathwaite and Tom Hall are here to help.
