If you’re anything like me, that is you spend tremendous amounts of time playing flash games at school/work, you might have come across the game Warfare 1917. Trenches takes a lot of cues from the popular flash game and strips down the gameplay to make a simple, enjoyable World War I strategy game for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Continue reading

Apple’s newest offering, the iPad has been floating around the news for quite a while now. The new device is being treated as a “giant iPod Touch” by many critics. Consumers are mainly concerned about the lack of flash support, large physical size, and lack of a camera, but Apple is staying positive about the release, set for March (Wi-Fi only model) and April (Wi-Fi and 3G).

After all is said and done, The Beatles are ultimately the most influential band in the history of music. Literally every musician is influenced by them in some small way, so it’s only fitting that they receive their own edition of Rock Band. The popular music game franchise that introduced drum and singing elements to the already successful Guitar Hero formula has added a new installment based on the career and music of The Fab Four.
I love Rock Band, and I love The Beatles. Predictably I got ahold of the game as soon as I possibly could. I’ve been basking in Beatles glory for about nine days now and trust me it is amazing. Continue reading
It’s true, the folks over at ScreenCrave report that David. O. Russell, the the director of I Heart Huckabees and the upcoming boxing film The Fighter, has his eyes set on directing the upcoming zombie/comedy film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. What this means for the movie is uncertain, but if Natalie Portman is on board, then it will most likely be worth seeing.
Each year Microsoft’s console giant, the Xbox 360, racks up more and more flagship titles. With the slew of new games being released in this year alone, it can be a bit difficult to decide which ones you want to see wrapped up under the tree.

Zombies are pretty sweet right? For decade after decade zombie films have held the attention of people everywhere, especially in the good ol’ U S of A. It’s safe to say that Americans have a pretty hardcore obsession with the idea of a zombie apocalypse, and there’s no shortage of killer zombie films or games out there. But what about the 1% of Americans that still read books for entertainment? Are there any awesome zombie books? You’d better believe it.
I love zombie movies. They’re gory, brutal, and on occasion very disturbing. Before I had read “World War Z” I had a really hard time believing that the genre could make the leap from the big screen to printed paper. I seriously could not have been more mislead.
Max Brooks has set up “World War Z” as an expansion on his first zombie book “The Zombie Survival Guide.” The basic idea is that a disease known as “Solanum” has begun reanimating human beings as flesh starved zombies. Sounds pretty familiar, am I right? The familiar concept quickly spirals into an utterly perfect story following the human struggle to outmatch the “zombies.” Continue reading
I like punk music, and I like the UK, so it was only natural that I fell in love with The King Blues’ most recent album “Save The World, Get The Girl.” The bouncy rhythms and great song writing put forth by the relatively young punk band make for some catchy and memorable songs. If you’re a fan of modern punk music then you’ll be hard pressed to find an album that sounds this good.
The King Blues is a punk band from London formed in 2004 as a two piece ska arrangement. The band has since obtained large scale success, playing premier slots on big shows and obtaining a recording contract with Universal Music. “Save The World, Get The Girl” is the band’s second CD, and has 11 tracks.

There are a lot of great flash game sites out there, but nothing beats playing the old classic NES games. Legend of Zelda, Super Dodgeball, Super Mario Bros. and many, many more are now available online. Virtual NES boasts a large selection of games for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. I now have more ways to kill time in my web-page design class than ever.

I don’t usually get into indie games, which are usually just prettier versions of games I could play for free on the internet, but something about zombies makes me do things I wouldn’t normally do. The title alone is enough to catch my attention, but the solid five-star community rating sold me. Oh, the $1 price tag didn’t hurt either.
There isn’t a ton to say about I MAED A GAM3 W1TH ZOMBIES 1N IT, as it’s certainly a simple game. The action is fast, the music is hilarious, and the concept is totally solid. That being said, it’s totally worth the 80 MS points. Continue reading
