Apparently ‘Indie Bundles’ Are Now Big Enough That EA Feels the Need to Ruin Them!
Could you imagine seeing Walmart advertising themselves as a ‘mom & pop shop’? You would laugh yourself to tears – sort of how Barnes & Noble tried to play that they were a ‘local bookshop’ back in the 80s and 90s as they rapidly killed off the REAL local bookstore. Well … now the trend [...]

LucasArts Says ‘May the 4th Be With You’ with a Free Pit Droids App!

Thief Deadly Shadows Lands on Good Old Games!
Just over two years ago I did a ‘Netbook Gamer’ review of Thief Deadly Shadows, the classic third entry in the stealth series. I highlighted one of the classic levels of gaming: The other is one of the most amazing areas I have ever played – Shalebridge Cradle. Once an orphanage, later also used as [...]
Pickers HD for iPad Review
Maybe you’ve seen the shows. American Pickers, Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, Hardcore Pawn and so forth. Perhaps you’ve wondered if you cash in one the old saw “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” without the incessant “Y——-p!” bid chanting, sibling rivalry or, er, trash-talk of competitors. If so, you may want to take a [...]
Rock Band for iOS is Can… errm NOT Cancelled, Still Brings Up Critical Issue
I was just about finished writing up how sad indeed it was that a great game and one of the first semi-freemium business models (or at least with in-app add-ons) was coming to a close. EA, makers of Rock Band for iOS, had listed the game on their ‘end of support’ web site as going [...]
Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Reveal Trailer Goes BOOM!
While it wasn’t as highly regarded as the ‘Modern Warfare’ arm of the Call of Duty franchise at release, Black Ops has proven to have significantly better staying power with gamers than ‘Modern Warfare 2′ and has grown to be a fan favorite in the year and a half since release. So it was always [...]
With $99 XBOX Subscription Bundle, Microsoft REALLY Enters the Smartphone Gaming Era!
Image courtesy GamesLive OK, so maybe the title is more than a bit of a stretch, but look at it this way: what product costs more to make than what you pay to buy it, but that lowered cost is subsidized by a two-year monthly contract? A cell phone … and now an XBOX360 bundle [...]

Dark Meadow: The Pact Available on Tegra Zone
To quote our own Michael Anderson, “Dark Meadow is a visually stunning game that was created using the same Unreal 3 technology as Infinity Blade, but offers much more depth and atmosphere than that game.” Michael prefer Dark Meadow to games like Infinity Blade and IB II because it is more story-oriented, and doesn’t seem [...]
