By Nadia Oxford
TGIF. It's been an interesting week: The Hunger Games Adventures missed it's initial release date, Martha Stewart is taking a digital vacation in Castleville, and the sales numbers for Angry Birds Space took off like a rocket taped to the underbelly of a bat out of hell. Surprised? Didn't think so.

Peakour Preview
By Nadia Oxford
Gotta Pea LLC, arguably the most intriguingly-named game studio that's currently operating, announced its first iOS project today. The game, titled Peakour, is a physics-based puzzler that challenges you to work through 100 levels by re-arranging piles of junk. Yeah, when you dump trash out your car window, it doesn't just disappear. Little pea-sized kids turn all that garbage into their very own parkour paradise. And no, that's not an invitation to keep dumping.

Kickstarter Picks – lil’ Sherman
By Nadia Oxford
Everybody should own at least one tank. They're good for getting through traffic jams, intimidating idiot drivers, and clearing moose off the road at northern latitudes. Unfortunately, THE MAN says you can't physically own a tank, but Floppy Entertainment might have the next best thing: an idea for a tank-based game called lil' Sherman.

By Nadia Oxford
