]]> 29 Jun 2007 02:26:38 In this game, players take on the role of the rebel himself, Stubbs, a wisecracking Zombie who takes on an ultra-modern city of the future using nothing but his own carcass and the weapons of his possessed enemies. The game's tongue-in-cheek humour, innovative combat and strong storyline keep Stubbs the Zombie's gameplay as bizarre and unpredictable as its namesake.

]]> 12 Jun 2007 01:51:04 Graveyard of Drunken Souls puts you in a graveyard armed with a baseball bat and you must survive for as long as possible. There are a multitude of different hats and faces for your character, so you can find one that suits you. As you are fighting monsters, powerup boxes containing shotguns and flamethrowers will drop for your aid. Every 100 kills gives you the ability to choose a magic power to help you out. See how long you can last and how many monsters you can kill.

]]> 08 Jun 2007 06:22:54 Although the controls take on the basic "pentomino" controls (Up, Down, Left, Right, Space for "drop", and Q to submit your high-score), the game-play takes a very unusual spin that tickles the "nonsense" nerve. You are presented with a quiet city scene where you control heaps of rubble dropped from the sky by a tiny alien (Minibyte), who decided to "pick on the big people" by planting his "Portable Entertainment System" (a giant crane) over Earth. The goal of the game comes in three tiers: to score by squishing people, play pentomino, and challenge your reflexes as blocks fall at random speeds. The traditional set of blocks are mixed with "surprise blocks" which you have to quickly find a place for in the grid. Even the individual block tiles are purposefully vague and hard to distinguish to add to the chaos. The game is very challenging to ones reflexes. The goal is to keep your grid under control as long as possible so that you can continue scoring on pedestrians. Only those with quick fingers can survive.

]]> 07 Jun 2007 06:06:37 La Ranisima is an open source "Space Invaders" alike game totally written in DHTML (JavaScript, CSS and HTML) that uses keyboard.

]]> 06 Jun 2007 08:44:44 Two prehistoric buddies. One feels there must be more in life than just hunting dinos, while the other enjoys every tasty bit of it. Thats when a woman comes in. Meet Ugo, Dawson and friends in a 2D action platform game packed with a humorous storyline.

30 areas packed with challenges, puzzles and a fun storyline where we can see that the cave days life was not that different from ours.

Features

]]> 04 May 2007 11:27:12 Penguin is at it again, and you, Batman, must save him. Kick, punch, Batarang, and glide your way through levels trying to stop Penguin.

]]> 02 May 2007 12:53:02 I know what you're thinking, "Not another zombie survival game!" well, this game is different from all those other games. You play as either four survivors that try to go from Point A to Point B, or you have the choice to play as one of the many zombie bosses. Now you may think this will get repetitive in time, but that's not true. The gameplay is different every time you play. Now this game heavily depends on teamwork, if you stroll along by yourself, your going to most certainly die. Weapon choice is simple, you can use MP5's to Uzis. The story is that the in a city have been infected with a sort of rabies that have turned them into zombies. These zombies aren't slow, they're fast and have the ability to climb fences. Oh, I forgot friendly fire is always on, so don't be trigger happy, and also don't jump right in front of your teammates expecting you won't get hurt, because you will. Why is friendly fire always on? The fact is, it makes the game more challenging. If there was no friendly fire, the game would too easy and would be a breeze to finish.

Genre: Action RPG
Release Date: Mar 18, 2002

]]> 20 Apr 2007 09:41:49 Paradox is an action based racer, putting more emphasis on the thrilling events and obstacles you will encounter. This game will feel more like a thrill ride than a straight racing game. Each level will take place in a different time period and event. One level you may be racing in the Jurassic period with a t-rex attacking you, the next level may be cruising on a highway through space in the future.
The levels are not lap based as many other racers are. Instead, the levels are one long track you will travel through to find the time rifs.
This game is currently in production and will be realeased sometime within late 2007 to early 2008. This is the first game from the indie game company Vision Lizard.

In addition to your standard rifle, you have a rocket launcher, shotgun, grenades, and mines. As you run and jump across the map, more and more soldiers will come after you. First soldiers will just run on to the map. However, they will eventually begin to parachute into the battlefield, and call in snipers as well.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 03:43:49 Freedom Force is a computer game developed by Irrational Games and published by Electronic Arts in 2002. The player guides a team of superheroes as they defend Patriot City from a variety of villains, monsters, and other menaces. A sequel, Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich was self-published in early March, 2005.

The game is noted for its humorous but respectful evocation of the Silver Age of Comic Books; in particular, its visual style emulates the art style of the Marvel Universe co-creator, Jack Kirby. Also important is its versatile, expandable game engine, which has allowed a considerable fan-community to spring up. Total conversions featuring Marvel and DC Comics characters have considerably extended the life of an already entertaining game.

The alien mentalist, Mentor, fleeing Lord Dominion and his invading forces, heads towards Earth in a small spaceship containing many canisters of the mysterious "Energy X." Lord Dominion's ships pursue Mentor and destroy his craft just outside the Earth's atmosphere; the blast scatters containers of the substance over the metropolis of Patriot City. Energy X strikes several of the city's inhabitants, giving them superpowers that typically echo their personality traits (for instance, Minuteman and El Diablo) or draw on the situation they were in when energized (e.g., The Ant or Nuclear Winter). Most of the game is set in Patriot City, but a number of other locations and time periods are used, including magical realms, prehistoric times, and realms entirely removed from time and space.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 12:41:40 You play as a hitman addicted to drugs and violence.

]]> 20 Feb 2007 07:41:55 Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger is the second sequel in the Sci-Fi Space Simulation series created by Chris Roberts.







"Professionally scripted and filmed in Hollywood, ORIGIN's multi-million dollar production combines the entertainment of film-making with the interactivity of computer gaming. The result is a spectacular spaceflight adventure.


Adrenaline, romance, danger -- Wing Commander III has all this and more. This sequel completes the turbulent chronicles of the Terran-Kilrathi war. The final showdown takes place on one of the homeworlds -- Earth or Kilrah. But only you can write the ending..."









Released in 1994, Wing Commander III was the first game to be marketed as a true "Interactive Movie". It was received with much critical-acclaim due to its high playability, state-of-the-art in-game graphics engine plus well scripted, produced and acted FMV sequences, all of which contributed to the games deep and absorbing atmosphere.


Wing Commander III was the first game in the series to use Full Motion Video as the primary story-telling device and is considered to be one of the best and successful examples of FMV use in a video game. The interactive element takes form during conversation cut-scenes where the player is asked to make a choice on how to proceed. This is done by either by giving a positive or negative response when prompted and this in turn affects the mood of the characters involved, altering theyre behaviour during missions and future conversations.


This was the final game in the Wing Commander series to deal with the Terran-Kilrathi conflict. As with the previous games, it is possible to play a winning or losing path, depending on the players performance during space-combat. The destruction of Earth or the Kilrathi's home planet of "Kilrah" is at the end of one of these two paths. However the series does continue with Wing Commander IV and Wing Commander: Prophecy.

]]> 19 Feb 2007 09:11:53 Scorched 3D is a game based on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth. Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play.

The gameplay remains much like in the original game. Aiming towards a certain opponent is earily done with the A button, and after that the aiming with angle and power is exactly as in Scorched Earth. However, some weapons will react differently when landing due to the three dimensional terrain.

]]> 13 Feb 2007 01:38:57 Sketchy is a "metroidvania" that I created in about six months during 2006. It was an attempt to make a commercial game entirely in Flash, but finally around October I realized that nobody would pay for a commercial game made entirely in Flash and abandoned it in favor of more potentially-lucrative projects.

It features a featureless person, on his way to rescue a pencil from a sinister castle. Just watch the intro, it'll make sense then.

Give it a whirl and let me know what you think.

]]> 08 Feb 2007 03:57:44 Much of the game is still in discussion. However, in it's simplest form the game is an evolution of the 'top-view shooter' genre.

At the game's opening, the player-controlled syndicate (called the Eurocorp Syndicate) is at the peak of its power (achieved in the previous game), an alliance of corporations controlling the world through a combination of military and economic power, and technological mind control. Corporate decisions are facilitated through a number of AI entities connected through a global communications network.
