Developer: Notch
Publisher: Mojang Specifications.
Platform: PC

There is a game out there that successfully combines genres in gaming that I previously thought were not able to be blended.

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 →

First debuting in the Spring of 2004, The Marys is a 4-piece indie rock band heavily influenced by old time rock and roll. Consisting of members Bernard and Brian Balatbat, Mike Baldemor, and Rob Belom, The Marys have evolved a sound that resembles sort of a mix between Jet, AC/DC, and The Kinks with heavy influence from The Strokes, Velvet Revolver and of course, The Beatles.
