    Deal of the Day: Contra Evolution is FREE

    By

    Love your mobile phone, but wish it had a little more old school action? The kind you played on the Nintendo when you were eight? And better yet, do you wish it was free?If you said yes to all of the above, you're incredibly demanding. But also, your wish has been granted.To celebrate the game's latest update (which added a Boss Rush mode, ranking system, and character skill system), Contra: Evolution is available for free until Thursday. Considering the game earned a nearly perfect score in our review, this is a deal that's well worth snagging. Now grab a big gun and head down to South America, soldier - you're needed.

    Deal of the Day: Duke Nukem Forever is $5

    By

    While it came out in 2011, I still can't believe it's here. Duke Nukem Forever is the sequel to 1996's Duke Nukem 3D. You know - this game. As with any hot game, they announced a sequel right away. It was 1997, and Duke Nukem Forever was officially in the works… but didn't see the light of day for fourteen years.It's a lengthy tale of cancelled projects and multiple developers, but in the end Forever finally saw release and can now be played - by you - for just five smackeroos.The latest offering on Gamezebo Deals will get you a Steam key good for both the PC and Mac versions of the game for just $5. Lock'n'load folks. It's time to bring the pain.

    First glimpse of Cut the Rope 2 gameplay surfaces

    By

    Zeptolab are masters in the art of teasing. We've known that Cut the Rope 2 has been coming for a long while now, and every so often they pepper their fans with hints and clues and cute animations about what we might expect in the sequel. But we haven't had anything concrete to go on until now.This morning, one week before the game's December 19 release, Zeptolab finally gave us a sweet sweet taste of upcoming candy.As you can see in the video below, Om Nom is now joined by some friends - the Nommies - who all have a vital role to play in his candy acquisition enterprise. The gameplay looks fairly in line with what you'd expect from the series, though the new twists added by his friends may be enough to give the formula a healthy dose of vitamin fresh. Find out first hand when the game launches next week.
