If you watched the Blade Trilogy and found yourself rooting for the vampires, I will never forgive you for betraying Wesley Snipes. But also, there is a game on Google+ waiting for you. Thirst of Night asks "what would happen if bloodsuckers took over the world?" and provides the answer with a strategy game that puts you in charge of a vampiric kingdom. But does the game have the lifeblood to survive, or does it just suck?
Duke vs. UNC, butter vs. margarine, Beatles vs. Stones...some matchups defy time and space, and are as much a part of our culture as good vs. evil. In video games you might not have ever realized it, but red has a real bone to pick with blue. The default in many multiplayer games is to make one side red and the other blue, so much so that gamers it has ingrained itself in our heads permanently that the two never shall mix. In Three Sprockets' new tower defense/RTS hybrid Cubemen, we can add little men vs. little men to that list of classic battles.
I went into Wizorb thinking that is was part Arkanoid and part old-school RPG. I'm not sure where I got that idea, but going by the screenshots of the game, it's a fairly obvious assumption to make. I was really curious to see how they could've honestly mashed those two totally different games together into something cohesive.
While it probably won't come as a big surprise to regular readers of the site, we here at Gamezebo have been big fans of Angry Birds since it late 2009 debut. But it's certainly not the only game we enjoy around here. Another little gem that we never seemed to get enough of was Hemisphere Games' Osmos. And Angry Birds Space? It plays like a brilliant melding of the two.
Yesterday is a heck of a ride. It's got a little sex, a lot of violence, a few laughs and some salty language, all wrapped up in a dark, twisted tale of betrayal, torture, murder and the never-ending battle between good and evil. Don't let the cartoonish graphics fool you - this is an excellent game, but it's very much for adults only.
Your family is dead, and the buildings in your once-peaceful town have been reduced to smoking piles of rubble. The townsfolk are looking to you to help rebuild, yet all that's on your mind is revenge. That may sound like the set-up for any number of old Western movies, but it's also the starting point for your character in Gangs of Boomtown, the action/town-building hybrid by Digital Chocolate.
I vowed that after I left university, I would never look at another mathematical wave for as long as I lived. Those evil things full of sin(e) following me around for years afterwards, but eventually I managed to calm the nightmares down and get on with my life.
I'll be spending the next 700 or so words explaining to you why you shouldn't buy Defenders of Ardania. It would be best that you not bother reading them and just trust me, but that statement alone is not what I was hired to do. So, here it goes.
