Ben Jordan Case 6 – Scourge of the Sea People

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Two words.  John Hammond.  How they managed to rope in Professor Hammond from Jurassic Park into this adventure is beyond me.  They must have “spared no expense”.  Don’t believe me, here’s the screenshot to prove it:BenJordan6SS01

Since I took up all that room for this screenshot, let me just briefly sum up my opinion of Ben Jordan’s sixth case, in a word, great.  The full review after the jump.

Cat, Cat, WATERMELON!

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Nov09 Dude… Wait, what?   Today’s game review is a browser-based game called Cat, Cat, Watermelon!  It’s by Lexaloffle, don’t you know?  Yep… Good old Cat, Cat, Watermelon.  It’s about umm Cats and… oh… Watermelons.  Apparently there are more than just cats and watermelons to this game… there are also beach balls and umm… bowls.  and… more things… that you can stack.  Can you stack all the objects without it toppling over?  I’m sure there are a ton of objects in this physics-based game.  What?  You mean I didn’t tell you it was physics-based?  Well now you know, and knowing is half the battle (I think I used that line before, blame the 80’s GI Joe cartoon)

Since I didn’t have a video of the game and since you can actually play it on the web (no downloading or anything!) I’ve decided to give you an idea of the game with this video…  Trust me there really is a game review after the video.

Preview: Awesome Soccer

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Awesome Soccer is Awesome.  Okay our next preview is a soccer game called Awesome Soccer by Red27 Studios.  You know what I played that as a kid for about a year or something in grade school.  There was this one game where I managed to score a goal, and it actually got in the paper (this was in Georgia like in the 80’s)  when I was i don’t know 3-4-5th grade.  Ever since then I liked soccer pretty good.  Of course now I don’t play and I don’t watch even though I dig the game.  But that’s another story for another day.  Here’s what Awesome Soccer is about

Awesome Soccer features a superb after-touch system that allows you complete control over the swerve of the ball…you can even bend it in both directions!  Score spectacular goals the great Roberto Carlos would be proud of!”

I mean how Awesome is that?!?

Check out the awesome screenies:
