I’ll admit it, I don’t have the patience to figure out complicated RPG (Role Playing Games) games. Give me a brain-dead “click and kill” game, and I’m all over it. So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that I’m a big fan of the ‘First Person Shooter’ (FPS) genre. Even though I’m regularly [...]

In my last article, I wrote about 9 free and useless Mac applications. These apps were totally un-useful (except for Hide Folders, which in fact, turned out to be worth keeping) and were basically just pretty to look at and fun to have around. To my surprise, that article turned out to be a real [...]

We travel afar to the mythical world of Chantra, the world where the Archlord rules and mystical battles are being fought on a daily basis. Humans, Orcs and Moon Elves rule the land. This is a cruel world, where everyday matters are decided by the steel of swords and the blood masking the grass. Fierce [...]

If you’ve played a video game console in the last couple of years, there is almost a 100% chance you’ve come into contact with a color-matching game.

If anyone ever asks me what I know about the stock market I’ll probably just blink a couple of times, smile wide, then walk away. If however, someone asks me about my opinion on video game sales I’m likely to talk their ears off until they smile wide and walk away. Luckily for people like [...]

In the previous installment of these emulation series, you saw how to play Sony PlayStation (PSX) games on your PC. Many of you told me (in the comments here and on Digg.com) how the first PlayStation was too outdated, and thus not interesting. ‘Passé’, one might say. Because of that and because it was planned [...]

Come on!” you should know about possibly the coolest Windows application around: Game Maker. As you can probably guess, it promises to make creating your own computer games simpler. It certainly lives up to its promise, [...]

If you’ve spent any amount of time playing Flash games instead of whatever you SHOULD have been doing, you’ve probably played Bejeweled.
