I just saw Adult Swim has a new game up on their website, and hey, it’s one I had a (very small) hand in. It’s Dungeons And Dungeons, a side-scrolling leather-em-up through an S&M dungeon gone horribly, horribly wrong. Don’t worry, it won’t bite. Unless you ask nicely, of course.
It’s the latest [...]
Wordpress has been acting up a bit lately, first swallowing up last Friday’s Link Roundup (though it’s possible I might have done something to cause that one) and then losing last night’s Monday Flash post when it chose the exact moment I hit “Publish” to crash horribly. Clearly I’m going to have to start [...]
This week’s Flash games takes us once again to the territory of one of my favorite game types – the unwinnable scenario. While it’s surface simplicity makes it a popular destination for many web games (particularly those more interested in testing a mechanic than crafting a complete experience), there’s still a certain artistry that [...]
Travelling, holidays, and the excessive amounts of whiskey both require mean there’s probably not going to be another Monday Flash before the end of the year, so I’ve decided to go out with a bang. Several, in fact, as both of this week’s games involve simple, brutal creatures locked in mortal combat against their [...]
A bit late this week, due largely to regular doses of cold medicine and needing to wake up at previously unheard of hours to be at work in time for Very Important Meetings with Very Important People. I’ll try and keep the coherence of this week’s installment up to the feature’s regular lofty standards, [...]
It’s always confounded me that “educational games” continues to be this misunderstood and ghettoized area of gaming when there are few better ways teach a person than by having them interact with their subject matter. Nearly every one learns better when they can put their hands on something, and who’s better at getting your [...]
Two short but sweet games for you this week. They’re from rather disparate genres, slapped together here due to their ever-so-sleight simularities to other games that are important to me at the moment.
First is Super Serif Brothers, which is exactly like Super Mario Bros. if there were only one of them and he were [...]
A quick one this week, and something of a cheat, as both games come from the same source. I can only plead the onset of Sick and the work of mentally psyching myself for Mario Galaxy’s release tomorrow. I’d considering putting something here about how I really mean to be posting more, but [...]
In keeping with my half-hearted attempt at giving these posts a theme, this week’s games are all about doing something as fast as possible before something terrible happens. Twitch gameplay, with its focus on last minute saves and navigating swarms of alien bullets as if they were pedestrians on a crowded street, is my [...]
A quick one tonight, as it’s late already and I’m at the point in drinking where it’s go to sleep soon or soldier on and call in sick tomorrow morning. That I’m still not entirely sure which road to go down is strangely reassuring to the bit of me that worries I’m getting old [...]
