Well, I don’t have a lot of hard theroizing on this one; it’s more just a gut reaction after the Vista launch. The more I think about it, the more this is similar to the situation Windows users were in back in 2000. Windows 98 SE was the strong player in those days, very similar [...]

OMF: No, Stupid, it stands for One Must Fall
Published by February 10th, 2007 in Game Reviews and Games. 0 CommentsKotaku had a fun post today about one of the best freeware games ever. It’s One Must Fall, and it features giant customizable fighting robots. For the record, a pimped Jaguar can stand with anything, although the first time you get a Pyro you have a lot of fun.

Here’s a neat write-up over at Tom’s Hardware Guide. The guys had a chance to have a company called Protocase build a completely custom case for them.

(Side note: bless these times where we can have horsepower with reasonable fuel efficiency. I had a sweet station wagon with a 350 V8 that got about 18 mpg and had [...]
That’s right, it’s Sid Meier’s Pirates! It’s a great PC game, and the port looks to have been done very well. I’m surprised there aren’t more games like this on the PSP. I think developers worry too much about recreating the console shooter or sports game experience and forget about making unique games that work well [...]
As you may know, I’m a big Xcom fan. It’s easily one of the best games of all time, and it’s the only game more than ten years old that can get me all sucked in. Well, there have been a lot of games trying to recreate the same atmosphere and play style, with limited [...]
