In part one of this article, I discussed general gameplay strategies. Now, let’s take a closer look at the game’s individual towers. For your convenience, I’ve also created a printable pdf quick reference guide. Yeah, it’s really ugly – I know. Arrow Tower The only tower in the game (other than a hive) that can […]

Perhaps I’m a bit late to the party on Pixeljunk Monsters, but since I bought it from the Playstation Network store, I’ve been playing it constantly. It’s like crack. Not that I’d know what crack is like. What I mean to say is that the game is pretty damn addictive, and the demo’s free. We […]

Parts one and two can be found here and here. As I made my way down to the hotel lobby for dinner, I was thinking about how I really didn’t want to go to this dinner. I’m not a social person, and meeting new people while having to be professional didn’t appeal to me on […]

Here in sunny Lungfishopolis, we like to encourage gaming togetherness. Why spend a Saturday locked in the basement with your 360 when you could be sitting in front of the 52″ plasma screen in the living room with your spouse playing Boom Blox? So we racked our brains and came up with some of the […]

For this week’s Free Game Friday, I look back to a post Michael Abbott made last week, wherein he talks about this remake of the original Quest For Glory II, which has been given a total overhaul and released for free. The sequel to Hero’s Quest, Quest for Glory II is an old school adventure […]
