BloodyRush by People and Dream Inc. is one of those games I continue playing despite scratching my head over its appeal. It’s a fine game, with surprisingly decent graphics, and highly reactive controls, but there’s no storyline to hold my interest, which I sort of expect from a game with such a nice presentation. Normally, ... Read More

In the spirit of the recently ongoing Olympics, here’s a cute game called Track & Field that will put you in the game, when you can’t partake in the sports, yourself. I like running as much as the next self-professed runner, but I will never be referred to as an Olympian – not in this ... Read More

I am so addicted to this game. Who knew a game could appeal to the traffic controller in me? Not that I in any way like traffic controlling. We should have a system more like Mexico’s anarchy rule of thumb, where the rules aren’t so much rules as they are guidelines. Wee! Chaos! *crunch* *burn* Traffic ... Read More

There’s a reason why this app is currently so popular in the iTunes App Store. With 14 games for just $0.99, no wonder everyone is clamoring to download it. The games aren’t anything exceptional, all of them very simplistic in design, with simple fighting or survival objectives, been-there-done-that gameplay interfaces, and quirky environments to toil in. ...

Waking up this morning, I wandered to the stove, brought a pot of water to boil, and brewed myself my usual cup of morning Tetley, with milk and honey. As the water heated, and I watched the honey from my spoon slowly spread along my mug’s bottom, I realized I had to make cider. Sorry, ... Read More

I don’t follow the world of competitive eating, but I am familiar with the I.F.O.C.E Nathan’s International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest, the world’s most famous eating competition, and one that Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi has reigned supreme as eating master until Joey Chestnut, a Bay Area native, took over his title in recent years. ...

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a Tattoo artist? To prod and poke people with needles and inject them with all colors under the sun, as they make the occasional, involuntary jerk from pain or shock or both, or a small sigh, waiting for your artistry to be done. I admit I’ve held a ... Read More
Racer (2)

I can sum up Racer is a single sentence composed almost entirely of onomatopoeia. VRROOOM vroom vroom SCREEECH! CRUNCH! BURN. A crash-filled and fast-paced racing game, Racer by Tatem Games is all at once fun, addictive, extraordinarily frustrating, and always startling. Zipping along a 6 lane freeway at speeds cops lagging in their ticket quota lust after, ... Read More

Aside from Chutes and Ladders, one of the go-to games of my childhood was Connect Four – yes, that big hunk of yellow plastic that comes with black and red plastic coins to drop in slots, in the strategic hope of connecting four in a row, straight across or diagonally. I wasn’t the greatest player, ... Read More
