    Dumb Ways to Die Review

    By

    When you get right down to it, survival is still a struggle in our seemingly clean, modern world. Sure, our ancestors would become lunch if they couldn't outrun a sabre-tooth tiger, but they didn't have to contend with trains, cars, or dumb dares put forth by their friends. Dumb Ways to Die is an iOS collection of mini-games that reminds us how easy it is to lose a test of strength and speed versus a subway.

    Scurvy Scallywags Review

    By

    Veteran swashbuckler Ron Gilbert knows a thing or two about pirates. He created the classic PC game The Secret of Monkey Island as well as its successor, LeChuck's Revenge. Sometimes, though, a sea-dog needs to dock in a different harbor. Aside from its pirate theme, Scurvy Scallywags, a match-3/combat game for iOS, is a bit of a departure for Gilbert and his partner in crime, Clayton Kauzlaric. Happily, it's a fun game that boasts the charm of a siren chorus.

    Monsters Invade: Oz Preview

    What if famed Wizard of Oz author Frank L. Baum had been able to peek ahead into the future and seen Pokémon's massive popularity? And what if he decided to include Nintendo's pocket monster-style battles into his literature? Would the flying monkeys' attack on Tin Man be considered "super effective?" Would Toto have launched himself at the tornado at the story's opening, possibly with disastrous results? We'll never know, but there are others who are willing to cross-breed the properties. Little Box, for instance, is working on an iOS RPG that brings monster fighting to the merry old Land of Oz.

    Kickstarter Picks: Combat Cats

    By

    Imagine an island full of catnip. Imagine thousands of cats living in harmony on that island, rolling, basking, and dreaming their days away. What do you suppose would happen if the catnip supply suddenly disappeared? That's right; the cats would revert back to their true nature. In other words, they'd become four-legged murder machines. Combat Cats is a puzzle-combat game that's chock full of cats that are getting violent for a good cause: the restoration of their 'nip supply.

    Pirate Storm Review

    By

    Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me, I guess. Pirate Storm is a web-based adventure/massive online game (MMOG) from Bigpoint that puts you in the pantaloons of history's most intimidating sailors. The premise alone makes it sound like you're in for a swashbuckling good time, but between the game's repetitiveness and lack of stimulating exploration, these be dull waters.

    There's never a bad time to go for a drive, not even during a nuclear apocalypse. Especially during a nuclear apocalypse. What's better than listening to your tires crunch under the bones of zombies while the scorching, irradiated wind whips through what remains of your hair?
