Why are you so mad about Dungeon Keeper?
Late last week, EA launched the long-anticipated free-to-play mobile game Dungeon Keeper to both the App Store and Google Play. And the reaction has been nothing short of vitriolic.But here's the problem: I don't really understand why.For a quick primer, it's probably worth taking you through some of the articles that have been lighting up my Twitter feed this week. It all started on Thursday - less than 24 hours after the game's launch - in Play4Real's wonderfully satirical article Our Dungeon Keeper Review for iOS Will Be Done in 8 Hours or Give Us a Dollar to Finish It Now. I don't want to spoil it for you, but THEY DIDN'T REALLY CARE FOR THE GAME'S FREE-TO-PLAY NATURE.The Escapist's Jim Sterling called it "one of the worst examples of a cancer that is eroding the market and has already destroyed the credibility of the once promising mobile game sector." Kotaku later borrowed part of Sterling's quote for a headline to a piece about the backlash Dungeon Keeper has seen - an article whose author admits, by the way, hasn't actually played the game he's writing about: "I can't even bring myself to download EA's newest mobile disaster for fear of tainting my memories of hours and hours digging and crafting on the old Bullfrog classic."

On Flappy Bird and Football: America’s two greatest pastimes
While I'm not usually one for sports, I've always been a bit of a sucker for football. I don't follow a team or watch every Sunday, mind you, but if there's a game on and I'm in the room, my eyes will probably be glued to the screen. And when there's a big game like the Superbowl or Grey Cup (Canadians know what I'm talking about), I'm happy to carve an evening out of my schedule to watch.Last night's blowout was no exception.The big story from last night, it would seem, is of the Broncos complete and utter meltdown that started with the first play of the game, and the absolute trouncing delivered to Payton and his boys by Seattle's Legion of Boom (which includes former Grey Cup winner Brandon Browner, in case you Canadians are keeping score at home) that followed. Also, Percy Harvin.But if you ask me, there's a much bigger story from last night than utter annihilation of the Denver Broncos. It's the story of technology's growing relationship with events, how our love affair with gadgets perfectly blends with football, and, well… Flappy Bird.But we'll get to that in a moment.
Play this browser game NOW: Zos, a fantastic sci-fi adventure platformer
Zos is a full-fledged adventure game brought directly to your web browser courtesy of developer 8bitSkull. Based in a surprisingly rich science fiction universe, Zos has players completing objectives, talking to characters, and platforming across a variety of colorful planets. What is essentially a giant space monster is slowly consuming the universe, and it is up to the player to find the artifacts called 'The Essences' that are capable of stopping the beast. Of course, The Essences are scattered all across the galaxy.As the player adventures through the planets, they can interact with the inhabitants of whatever planet they are on. Zos has surprisingly well-developed alien cultures, and it was always interesting to go and interact with the NPCs that were encountered along the way.

Kingdom Come is being developed with CryENGINE 3, and Warhorse is anticipating a quarter four, 2015 release date.Kingdom Come is a first-person medieval warfare game set in Medieval Europe that features a non-linear story where players can end up the hero, or the villain.

An indie developer is making one game a week (and the results are pretty great)
Game developer, Thomas "Less Milk" Palef, is currently in the middle of a self-imposed challenge to develop one new game every single week. Game development is a hobby for Palef, but he wanted to kick things up a notch and actually start finishing playable games. So, for over a month, Palef has been busy coding a producing a new HTML5 game every week."It's been six weeks now, and I've learned a lot," Palef said to Gamezebo during an interview. "I'm really trying my best to make each game better that the previous ones, and so far I think that I have achieved this goal. I know that I have only one week to make a game, so I keep my ideas and mechanics simple. This way it's not that hard to make a game in one week."
The best games of #CandyJam (so far)
After last week's debacle involving game developer King trademarking the word CANDY, game developers around the world vented their frustrations by participating in the Candy Jam, a game jam event designed solely to passive-aggressively taunt the trademark system as well as King's other embarrassment from last week, being accused of ripping off another developer's game. The Candy Jam website sets its mantra as: "Because trademarking common words is ridiculous, because ethics matter and because it gives us an occasion to make another game jam."Developers have since been working on creating their games, and uploading them to the Candy Jam website for others to check out. While the Candy Jam lasts through February 3rd, there are a good number of games already posted.One of the more polished games posted is Discord Games' Candy Chasm Saga, an endless-faller that involves falling down an chasm filled with candy, attempting to collect as much candy as possible while avoiding crashing into the scary-looking tokens floating about. Magnets are available to scoop up and make your candy-grabbing life easier, and golden apples provide limited invincibility. Candy Chasm Saga borrows art assets from Discord Games' full-time project, Chasm.
