Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Indestructo Tank: Launch Will Loosen Your Tight Behind

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Indestructo Tank: Launch Will Loosen Your Tight Behind

When you’re cheap and dirty, you don’t normally have access to really awesome but unbelievably expensive luxury items like tanks. When we do get the opportunity to get hands on with such things, we tend to act very timidly despite the really awesome scenarios we always imagined getting into should we come into possession of a tank. This is the ultimate contradiction and the game Indestructo Tank: Launch should be your portal out of a world of safety and thoughtfulness and into a place where attaching [...]

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness – Episode 3 Review: So Slick

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness – Episode 3 Review: So Slick

The latest Penny Arcade game plays like a greatest comedic hits, smashing mimes, hobos, and fruit-loving robots between toasted slices of bread and then punching that sandwich until you can’t even tell what it used to be anymore. Zeboyd Games further continues the adventures of Tycho and Gabe after Hothead Games’s last entry, albeit with a different style. Those familiar with previous offerings from Zeboyd, such as Cthulhu Saves the World, will be right at home with Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice [...]

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: World of Goo Can Unite Me to You

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: World of Goo Can Unite Me to You

Fact: approaching a stranger and asking them to mash their goo into your goo is a sure-fire way to get punched in the face or tied up and thrown in a trunk. In today’s world, people tend to only interact with the goo of people they’re more comfortable with, though alcohol does have a way of bringing unfamiliar goo together in unplanned and sometimes regrettable ways. That being said, there once was a time where random goo united together on a daily basis [...]

Kid and Play: Prepare Our Future Gamers

Kid and Play: Prepare Our Future Gamers

We as gamers have a responsibility. A responsibility more important than trying to beat Battletoads, even though we all know it’s impossible. A responsibility to not only play games, but to keep this community alive. Many species face extinction every day, but we must power through and keep ours strong. It’s our duty to prep our little gamers, so that one day they can be as awesome as we are. It wasn’t long after I found out that the first [...]

Wolfenstein 3-D Celebrates 20 Years by Going Free in All Browsers

Wolfenstein 3-D Celebrates 20 Years by Going Free in All Browsers

Wolfenstein 3-D owns some great real estate in my heart, and for its 20th anniversary id Software is porting it to all browsers to play for free. It’s a freaking party in Castle Wolfenstein, and we’re going to party like it’s 1992. To put things in perspective, I had just turned 9 years old when this game was released. It was the goriest, most fantastic game my PC could handle at that time. I played hours upon hours trying to find all [...]

Steambrothers! To Arms! Sword and Sworcery EP Released on Steam

Steambrothers! To Arms! Sword and Sworcery EP Released on Steam

The ridiculously named, yet fantastic adventure game Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP just dropped on Steam. Sword & Sworcery released on iOS last year to critical acclaim. The game features some downright gorgeous pixel art and a soundtrack that many of us here still listen to outside of the game. While we loved the game enough in its mobile version to give it a Grimmy in 2011, not everyone has or plays games on an Apple device. So, we’re very [...]

Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 3 goes 16-Bit RPG Thanks to Zeboyd

Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 3 goes 16-Bit RPG Thanks to Zeboyd

The first two episodes of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness generated some of the biggest laughs I’ve had with gaming in recent years. Humor is tough to get right in video games, but a game based an a satirical gaming industry-focused comic strip definitely has an advantage. The games themselves are good enough as they strike a nice balance of old-school and simplified RPG adventure gameplay. Penny Arcade’s development partner, Hothead Games, unfortunately (or fortunately) had [...]

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Gun Bros are the Best Bros

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Gun Bros are the Best Bros

People roll their eyes at me on a regular basis but never do I get as poor of a reaction from folks as when I use the word bro. Most assume that I’m either a frat boy or a surfer but the fact of the matter is, me calling someone a bro is like me saying “I’d have your back during a scenario where both of our shirts are off and we’re fighting endless waves of enemies”. That’s an unbelievable compliment, one that the creators of Gun Bros have personified [...]

Tiny Wings Reflex Review: Flying High Even Though I Can’t

Tiny Wings Reflex Review: Flying High Even Though I Can’t

Ever since I dumped my Droid X at the beginning of this year and sprinted back into the loving arms of an iPhone 4S, I have been enamored with a simple iOS game called Tiny Wings. It’s been the go-to-game at the doctor’s office, road trips, and during the horrible television shows that my wife enjoys. In fact, it is the third-most used app on my phone outside of Facebook and Tweetbot. For being such a simple premise, I have [...]

Gaming Lifestyle: A Healthy Anti-Gamecation

Gaming Lifestyle: A Healthy Anti-Gamecation

My interpretation of gamecation might be a little different from yours. Instead of taking time off of work to focus solely on a big release, sometimes you just need a break from games all together. Sometimes the amount of games you own becomes too daunting to overcome. Other times you just get burned out. Taking a break from games can help rekindle the fire you have for video games all the while making you appreciate games as an entertainment medium. [...]
