I’m sure I first played Infectonator in its flash form. The iOS and Android version appeared to be based more on Infectonator 2. The concept is simple. You are a mad scientist trying to take over the world with zombies. You drop your infectonator bomb or bombs on the city of your choice then see …

I played the original True Crime: Streets of L.A. It wasn’t up to Grand Theft Auto standards, but the spin of playing a cop and the increased focus of melee combat bumped it up a few notches. Having Christopher Walken as a narrator didn’t hurt either. I enjoyed that game but didn’t finish it. The …

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 Jones and Doc Savage, I always felt …

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 just sort of …

If it wasn’t a comic book (game) plot, Spiderman Shattered Dimensions’ plot wouldn’t ever be taken seriously. It’s the kind of thing a thirteen year old boy dreams up to tie the doodles together in his notebook. However, as a device to give me different spins on Spiderman gameplay, I’ll take it. Let me get …

Super Hexagon is a strange game. You die. You die over and over again. You actually fall into a rhythm of dying. It’s not about succeeding. It’s about surviving as long as you can. The only controls are your left and right buttons. Think of it like Pacman only you’re chased by the maze itself …

I’ve played all the main games in the Assassins Creed series. I’ve enjoyed most of them. The only one I haven’t finished is AC2: Revelations. I’ll probably finish it up sometime, but after the excellent Brotherhood, it didn’t really grab me. As I mentioned previously, I was really looking forward to III since it took …

I want to do more regular updates. So I’m going to try to do a game of the week. Admittedly, most of these will be apps since that’s the bulk of my game time these days. I’ll try to mix in some classics, indies, and big budget games as well. I’ll probably shoot for Fridays, …

I haven’t been playing too much lately. I finally completed a full run through Borderlands 2. It’s a great game. The only other game I’ve been playing recently is Puzzle Saga on my iPad. I’ve been meaning to write up a post on why I enjoy it. For now, I’ll just say it’s like the …
