KitchenSink_SS01

My next XBLCG game review centers around a battle in a kitchen sink!  We’ve all been there before.  Before we wash the dishes they are in a constant struggle to see who gets what spot of the sink!  That’s right! Dishes duking it out, trying to see who reigns supreme.  But be careful you don’t get sucked into the drain or it could mean a damaged garbage disposal!

(xblig) Biology Battle – Everybody, into the miniaturizer! – XBLCG

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

BiologyBattle_SS00 Ever wonder what it’s like to be miniaturized and injected into the body of a rabbit?  Well neither did Lt. Tuck Pendleton as he mistakenly gets injected into hypochondriac Jack Putter!  I mean whoa, flashback to the 80’s!  Where was I?  Oh yeah, miniaturization.  My next XBLCG review is for a game called Biology Battle by Novaleaf Game Studios.  In it you play a nanobot?  What?  You can’t play a nanobot, that’s not really a character?  Well be that as it may you are a teeny, tiny, teensy, weensy, little nanobot.  So small in fact you can fit into a cell!  And that’s just what you do too.  You go into a cell to do some battle!  Some BIOLOGY BATTLE!

Dungeons of Fear – Welcome to the dungeon, we’ve got fun and games…

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
