Plants vs. Zombies comes out this week and I hadn’t heard of it before but I have to confess that the super cheesy (and moderately lame) trailer totally won me over.  I am a sucker for clever marketing and the ridiculous and slightly insane video for the game was super effective – I’m actually going to play this crazy-sounding game and I NEVER play PC games.  Besides, who can resist a game with a tagline like this: “get ready to soil your plants.”

The single player action-strategy game (available for both PC and Mac) pits brain-eating zombies against an arsenal of …read more

So after I posted my I Miss Gaming post yesterday, I was struck by the realization that it’s awfully hard for one person to know about all of the awesome games that are out there to play.
The games that maybe didn’t make the most money or maybe didn’t get the most press but still rock and are games that have a hardcore following.
See? THOSE are the games that I want to play.
I want to play the games that people play because they LOVE them and not because they think that they should be playing them and then they find themselves …read more

Street Fighter IV PC is just around the corner. An Intel Pentiumv4 2.0GHz or higher processor, 1GB or more RAM and a DirectX 9.0c/Shader3.0 video card are the bare essentials to execute those focus attacks and ultra moves.

Have you ever wanted to just run off and get married in Vegas?  Now you can (without worrying about quickie divorces and being too drunk to remember your new spouse’s name)!
Dream Day Wedding: Viva Las Vegas is coming to PC soon (pre-order now!) and it’s got everything you could ask for – sweet treats, messy hotel rooms and gambling.  Not everyone realizes that some people actually go to Vegas (on purpose!) to get married since there is so much to see and do.  Of course, you just can’t create a wedding as over-the-top and luxurious as those you will find …read more

If you think the Far Cry “franchise” hasn’t been milked enough, guess again. GameSpot revealed that UbiSoft is set to come out with a sequel to the popular 2004 shooter. Since Crytek, the game’s original developer, has sold UbiSoft the rights to Far Cry, you can be sure that the Germany-based developer won’t be coming back to make the next installment.

As you may have heard, Crytek has paired with EA, the mortal enemy of UbiSoft, and is set to release Crysis, that DirectX 10 beast that’s set to rob you of your precious cash. Crysis has nothing to do …read more

Once again, Sony has drawn anger over the PlayStation 3. This time, the group frothing at the mouth is the Church of England. The reason? Resistance: Fall of Man, the only good FPS to date that came out of Sony’s already-controversial console.

The Church of England is pissed at Sony for using the Manchester Cathedral as the setting of a mission in said shooter, and that Sony didn’t seek permission to use the cathedral in the game. The Church said it’s is considering legal action if Sony doesn’t say sorry, withdraw the game from store shelves, or modify the mission …read more

If you have a short attention span like I do, then I’m sure you fill up your hard drive with several games and play a different one daily. Of course, the games I play are subject to my current mood, plus other important factors like the alignment of the stars and existing geopolitical events.

My current favorite is Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. Yes, it got great reviews on the PlayStation 2, but I like the PC version better because I can use the keyboard and mouse for moving around. Psi Ops’ Havok 2 physics engine makes the game a …read more
