Free Game Friday: Dodge

For passive-aggressive gamers. Sorry, no screenshot today. Hey, in my day, we didn’t have screenshots, and we played Lode Runner and Yars Revenge and we liked it. Dodge

Five Reasons Why Oblivion is Better than Fallout 3

I’ve mentioned previously that I thought Oblivion was a better game than Fallout 3, despite the fact that both were created by Bethesda on the same engine, and despite the fact that Fallout 3 is a more recent game. Now I’d like to give you some concrete reasons as to why. I’ll totally agree that […]

Free Game Friday: Puzzle Quest Galactrix Demo

Despite Greg’s proclamation that there would be no Free Game Friday, here I am with a Free Game Friday. Today we have the glory and wonder that is the Puzzle Quest: Galactrix demo.  I remember when the demo for Puzzle Quest first hit.  I found it odd that they spent all of this time making […]

Free Game Friday: Turbotanks

I’ve played more Turbotanks than I’d really like to admit. It’s similar to the old Atari 2600 Combat in many ways, but the levels are varied and interesting. It also gets a lot tougher as you go, and as you have to fight more enemy tanks in more difficult terrain. It’s more than a one-hit-kill […]
