Rainbow Skies combines an RPG overworld, turn based strategy combat, fourth wall breaking dialogue and monster taming into this indie style game which seems to have all the elements for a retro yet unique take on the genre. The game itself is well executed, combat is fluid and you can pick or avoid battles as…
While I was playing Super Stardust HD, there was one thing that I kept saying to myself: “this just isn’t as fun as Geometry Wars”. The game definitely adds a new twist to the idea but is it sad when all I want to do is get to the end as fast as I can…
Orphan: These aren’t my teeth. Deathspank: Whose are they? Orphan: Your MOMMA’S! Hee hee! Deathspank: Well played, parentless child. This pretty much sums up the hilarity that ensues in the downloadable game DeathSpank.

There are zombie books, zombie television shows, zombie costumes, zombie comics, zombie films and lately there has been an overflow of zombie video games. Let me be the first to tell you that this zombie craze is not about to go away. Left 4 Dead may have started the zombie video game craze but nobody…
Back in the late 80s, my first gaming experience came in the form of a Commodore 64 home computer that my cousin owned. Many late hours were spent on it and thanks to all of the NES ports, we never really felt like we were missing out, except when it came to Super Mario Bros.…
