Set in the floating city of Utopia, where the residents get along regardless of race or job class (unlike those polarizing extremists living in the floating city of Columbia), Chillingo's Pixel People is a free to play iOS city building game. I personally started playing during lunch while waiting for the next piece of bad news from EA Games. The fact that I didn't need Internet connectivity to play the mai ...

Starcraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm Intro Kerrigan is back and she is out for blood in the new Starcraft 2 expansion, Heart of the Swarm, athough really, saying this is an expansion is a bit of an understatement. In the age of DLC for just about every high profile game, I appreciate that Blizzard takes its expansions so seriously and gives us so much for our money. By Mikeoldboy Starcraft 2: Heart of The Swarm ...

Zoo Tycoon 2: It Has Literally Nothing To Do With Money I'm pretty sure most human beings who have owned a computer have played Zoo Tycoon. The first one. That was one CD that survived puberty – I had both Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection disks and I went ahead and reinstalled them a few years back. I've been making insane zoos ever since and raking in thousands and thousands of dollars. By Ghost Lily Release ...

One of the best examples of this philosophy is seen in the new XCom game “XCom: Enemy Unknown” where Earth’s elite soldiers defend the world against invading aliens.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare was released a few months ago but after a recent sale on Steam the game has become inundated with a horrible plague: New players who have no clue what the hell they are doing. People have complained about Noobs before, but as someone who had a pretty consistent 1.0 Kill/Death Ratio, It’s safe to say my jump to a 3.5 KDR was no accident. So whether you were aware the game has frien ...

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Due to a very small amount of release copies for The Testament of Sherlock Holmes I was forced to reschedule my gaming time and replace it with studies. Then after about a month of walking around, tearing a hole in my carpet, naaah just kidding! I am a student, I can’t afford a carpet, but finally I got my copy of The Testament of Sherlock Holmes. I don’t know if this was a ...

Well, after playing the whole game in two player mode with my son, I will tell you ...

What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money… You need look no further than the strategy gaming genre for confirmation. I recall a time. A very long time ago, when finding a good strategy game was as easy as stopping at an Electronics Boutique, and going to the strategy section. You could pick out almost any game and not miss. These days that’s not the case.  Why? Well, money. And “they” think we Am ...

Castle Crashers Tips, Tricks and Cheats A few little hints and tips to help you restore peace, and score with the princess!!! I was so excited when Castle Crashers was first released. I loved scrolling beat em ups as a kid. Streets of Rage, Turtles in Time and Final Fight being my favorite.

Original XCOM Game Footage: XCOM was a much loved sci-fi strategy game that was first released back in 1994. This really is not just a reboot, but more of a re-imagining. 2K games are actually working on two games under the XCOM name, but they are both set in different universes. The other XCOM game is just a first person shooter, and nothing like the 1994 strategy game. When this first person shooter was f ...
