Extreme Gamers

Everytime I read about Japanese gamers.. and how some would die in front of their computer or gaming system, it never failed to leave me flabbergasted. How do one get to this extreme and ignore their health and even their life. Someone that I came to know online was on disability insurance played [...]

Evony – Time Wasted

Well, Evony feels like the biggest waste of time ever. I went to sleep one night with a couple of decent size towns and 2 smaller towns. I woke up in the morning to find I had been attacked 153 times by the same person and completely lost my 2 biggest towns. [...]

Evony – Update

I’m past the 1 week mark, around 10 or 11 days now actually, and the game is still pretty fun. I’ve just started work on my third city, my first one is getting built up quite nicely and the second is a cash cow. After the beginner protection was lifted I started scouting [...]

Evony – free online MMORTS

I’m bored. And since playing a new game sounds like more fun than buying faucets online I figured I’d check out this new game I saw advertised in my own sidebar, Evony. FREE FOREVER! They really like to pimp that free forever feature. As with most free online games these days [...]

Tower Defense Games

I’ve become a little addicted to tower defense games lately. Up until about a month ago I never knew there was a whole genre dedicated to this type of game. The first one I played was Crystal Defenders on the XBox 360. Put your dudes along a path, monsters walk along the [...]

Free Realms

Everyone else is talking about this new game from SOE so I figured I might as well too. I started playing today and it was easy to jump into. I didn’t have to create an account since I already have a station account, and it only downloads the parts you need as you [...]

Engineering Got Some Fun Additions

I’ve been cranking my way through engineering on Kalamaf and spending a ton of money in the process, so far I’m up to 425, so I’m almost done with it. Then I get the fun job of grinding reputation up to exalted so I can get the Chopper. It looks awesome but is [...]

WoW – Scroll of Resurrection

Thanks to the World of Warcraft Scroll of Resurrection I get to play free for 10 days, on my main account, to see if I find the game interesting enough again. If an account has been inactive for at least 90 days, it can be resurrected by someone with an active account. This [...]

Wrath of the Lich King

I’ve been getting the itch to play an MMORPG again lately but deciding which one to play is the hard part. Lich King just came out for WoW and I hear it’s good, much better than Burning Crusade. I also hear they’ve been making lots of game play changes over the last several [...]

Free MMORPG Crowns of Power

It’s been quite some time since I’ve played an MMORPG so when I found out about Crowns of Power I decided to give it a try. The download is small and it’s free, there are no monthly fees either so it’s completely free to play. You can pay for premium features if you [...]

Even Free isn’t Enough?

I guess I really am just burned out on MMO’s these days, even with EQ2 being free I find I hardly ever log in to play. A friend is into Age of Conan and plans to give me a buddy key whenever they finally start handing them out, but that isn’t really high on [...]

Packrat Strikes Again

Better throw me into the drug rehab facility, I just spent the last couple hours immersed in Packrat. I’ve scrounged my way up to level 6, stolen things from all my in-game Facebook friends, bought several items off the marketplace and stolen from the likes of Rattori Hanzo, Captain Ratbeard and Marcel le Rat [...]

Packrat

We all know that Facebook is just loaded with tons of crappy little games that are interesting for a few hours, or in some rare cases a week or so, and here’s another to add to the list. In Packrat you do what a packrat would do, you hoard collectible cards in an effort [...]

Audio Surf

This is easily one of the coolest new games I’ve played in quite some time. It’s small and cheap ($9.95 to buy online through Steam) and offers near limitless play options. The game shares some vague similarities with the likes of Guitar Hero and DDR in that it’s a musical rhythm game, but [...]
