Death vs Monsters – Death takes a holiday and kicks some a…ahem posterior region. – Flash

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Okay today is the first ever Flash Friday.  What is Flash Friday you ask?  Glad you asked.  I’m going to be reviewing flash games on Friday’s, just like Wednesday’s are XBLCG hump days.  And adventure games are sure to keep you out of the “I Hate Mondays” doldrums.  So without further ado, the review.  (Ha! I rhymed)

What are two of the most awesome things in the world?  Er… no, I mean after pirates, and ninja’s… umm… and after zombies and samurai… and killer robots and giant robots… and after great burgers and chili-dogs and after Mountain Dew (okay so some of you may not like Mt. Dew, but ask almost any computer programmer and they’ll say Mt. Dew is the greatest), and even after really hot chicks…  And now you got it, that’s right the two most awesome things in the world after pirates, ninja’s, zombies, samurai, killer robots, giant robots, burgers, chili-dogs, Mt. Dew, oh and I forgot dwarves and elves, after all of that, the two most awesome things in the world are, you guessed it, Death and Monsters!DeathVMonstersSS01

Atomic Worm – A slithery classic reborn…

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I’m talking about Snake, the classic game where move your snake around the board and eat and eat and eat until your tail grows so long that you eventually run into yourself.  According to your friend, and mine, Wikipedia, Snake originated in the 70’s with Blockade by a company named Gremlin Industries (not to be confused with Gremlin Graphics that eventually became Gremlin Interactive).  Snake has had a long career and today’s game adds to that distinguished career.  Atomic Worm by Charlie Dog Games is more than just your average snake clone.  Although the developer might rap me in the mouth for this, I believe it’s a combination of snake and a match-3 game.  That’s right, a match-3.  I didn’t intentionally start out to review another one of these games, but it appears i have.  Of course it’s not a traditional click 3 items, or falling block match-3, it’s a snake variant.  It’s also another freeware title.  I guess I just seem to be getting a lot of freeware stuff.  AtomicWormSS00
