Lookout is the antivirus software on my android phone. It scans in the background, but it also scans any time an app is updated. Most of my apps are ‘trusted’ apps and allowed to update on their own. Every once in a while Google updates Google Earth. Once it does, Lookout scans it. Then [...]
I could write a book about the golden age of SSI (Strategic Simulations, Inc.). What a great name. If you’re at all like me, you’d just want to support a company with a name like that. There are several games I bought on the strength of that brand alone. Fortunately, I was [...]
10,000,000 was a recent game of the week. Now, if you have an android device, Amazon is giving it away for free today only (5/22/13). I’d suggest grabbing it. Here’s the purchase link.
I think I was a bit burned out on Kickstarter for a while. I have some sympathy for the founders of Kickstarter since they never planned it to be a game preorder site. Of course, that’s not what it is. It’s about microfunding development projects that are near to your heart. It just [...]
Back when Amazon Prime first started, I liked it for convenient shipping. They’ve since added a lot to the Prime package. I was initially worried that the shipping combined with 1-click ordering would result in too many impulse purchases. In fact, I didn’t turn on 1-click for a while after I subscribed to Prime. It [...]
Welcome back Lara Croft. Or should I say hello to the new Lara since this is a reboot. I know that much was made of how would Tomb Raider respond to the success of the Uncharted series. Though both Drake and Croft share a lineage that includes Indiana [...]
Some of you may have noticed that news.talkstrategy.com is down again. It’s been hacked twice in the last three months. I’ve been working on trying to convert the data to a more secure content management system. Thus far I’ve failed. I can’t really leave it up as a virus risk to people who [...]
10,000,000 or ten million is a combination endless runner, match three puzzle and roguelike RPG. It’s odd and a bit brilliant. It’s available for iOS, Android and Steam. It’s graphics are reminiscent of an early roguelike. You could either call that inspired or ugly. I wouldn’t argue with either.
The premise is [...]
My daughter was watching Sesame Street. I suppose it’s good with its computer graphics and parodies of recent pop music hits. Sometimes it makes me feel old. I remember when Mr. Hooper ran Hooper’s Store. I remember when the Twittlebugs were just a composite shot to establish their size. I remember Super Grover before version [...]
If you’re going to call your game Revelations, the actual revelations should be pretty darn good. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here. It doesn’t ruin the game, but it adds to the overall feeling of jumble that is this game. Simply put, there are too many ideas in this game. Everything is [...]
