Free Rhythm Game – Osu!

I’m a little worried about how much time I might spend on this game based on the insanely fantastic Nintendo DS rhythm game ‘Osu! Tatakae! Ouenden!” which was remixed and rereleased as “Elite Beat Agents” in English speaking countries.
I absolutely the love the original game which is a rhythm game using the DS touch screen [...]

Portal: A Day in the Life of a Turret

Ever wonder what the Portal turrets talk about…well now you know.
If a turret whines about his job, and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? You bet it does. “A Day in the Life of a Turret” looks at the lives of two turrets at the Aperture Science Enrichment [...]

Barcode Battler!

LOL, I remember actually wanting one of these when they came out.

Free RPG Dungeon Crawl Game – Monsters’ Den

Well RPG-very-lite is probably closer to the truth but if you want a quick dungeon crawl you can play when you have a little spare time then Monsters’ Den will keep you happy.
It’s a very stripped back to basics game, you create a party of four heroes from five possible character classes, enter a randomly [...]

Well the news of the Twilight Princess hack for loading code on the Wii has been around for a little while now but it required some geekiness and the purchase or building of a gamecube SD card adaptor.
It’s now been announced that the latest version of the Twilight Princess bootloader supports the internal SD slot [...]

Free Game – RC Laser Warrior

Head here to play this nice little Mario Kart style “racer with weapons” which is pretty fun to play in short bursts.
You’ll need the Unity player plugin which you’ll be prompted to download. I’m not usually a fan of all these different plugins but the games being developed with the Unity plugin do seem to [...]

Lego Violence

Free Type ‘em up Game – Grammar Nazi

Love this little piece of entertainment. Type words to destroy the enemy, longer words might cause more damage.
It’s all a bit random but presented so nicely with a jolly tune I couldn’t help but like it for sheer weirdness and charm.
