35 Tetris-like games pulled out of Android Market

Posted by Ade as Games

Tetris would probably be the one game that got most of us addicted to gaming. Count me as one of the people who spent hours playing Tetris, cursing silently under my breath as I painfully waited for that one brick that can get rid of the five lines I've already accumulated. Since this game is one of the most iconic games of all time, it's no surprise that there are imitators abound. But thanks to The Tetris Company, LLC (the company that apparently holds the rights to the game) 35 clones of the game have been pulled out of the Android Market. Okay, I understand that they are just trying to protect ...

Review: ColorBuster for iPhone

Posted by Andy as Apple, Games

ColorBuster is a fairly simple strategy puzzle game that will easily keep you occupied as you guide Hect0r, your robot, through 50 levels of box-pushing. Don't let the "simple" tag fool you, though. Remember, games like Tetris and Bejeweled are simple. Gameplay The game takes place on a variety of grids in deep space. Your task is to pack all the crates of the same color into one crate, and then move them to a teleport. At the same time, you push radioactive boxes off the edge of the grid. Sounds simple, but as with all good puzzle games, the levels get harder to solve. There's often only ...

Epic Mickey: Steampunk Disney Game

Posted by Ade as Games, Nintendo, Wii

I've never really been a fan of the Mickey Mouse and friends aspect of Disney. I find it too childish and all, but they're, well, inescapable. Over at artist Fred Gambino’s website there is a section called ‘Epic Mickey’. It contains Mickey Mouse art reimagined in a steampunk setting. It is rumored to be concept art for a new interactive game from Disney.

Epic Mickey (most probably a code name) is rumored to be developed for the Wii. There's very little news about it now, but I am so loving the steampunk reimagining. It is something Disney needs to appeal to the hardcore gamer crowd.

PS3 And Xbox360 Rumors

Posted by Geezer as Games, Gaming, Hardware, Microsoft, PlayStation 3, Sony, XBox 360

They say that Hollywood is the place where rumors are born and thrive. They say that there are no secrets in Hollywood. But if you were to ask me, I would go as far as to say that in the world of consumer technology, rumors are just as rife. Rumors about games, phones, gaming consoles – practically everything that’s hot – are born every day and spread through the Internet like wild fire. Take for example the latest dish on the two arch rivals – the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox360. These two gaming consoles have been the focus of countless rumors ever since their inception. This ...

The flooding of the Wii

Posted by Jim as Consoles, Games, Nintendo, Wii

Woke up today to a Walmart ad about tens of thousands of Wii consoles available for US$249. Take note that those are only basic console sets (console and a controller)... should it come with an extra controllers, games and other bundled items... the price becomes US$329. While I'm not totally a Wii fanboy, I'd say this deal comes perfectly during the holidays. I'm sure parents will take note of this and line up for one. I do hope PlayStation 3, the Xbox and some other stuff follows suit. I've always looked for deals around this time of the year. Walking around BestBuy, Target & Game Stop, I always see product bundles top shelf. ...

IceTris

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff, Games

Got this cool lead from TechnaBob.com , thanks dude! To tell you honestly, this is such a cool concept that I'm beating my head now and asking "Why haven't I thought of this!!! Oh why!" :) Serve up 'dem ice cubes to Tetris fans and I'm sure you'd get the good laugh you need. Impressive laugh, that is. Not sure though if they'd want it in their beverage OR just on a clean tray to play Tetris. This great idea from Russian designer Dima Komissarov of http://www.mystake.ru/icetris.html Comes in these three basic colors (blue, red and green). Where to shop? Well as of this writing I still have not found any online store ...

8-lane Scalextric : Slot Car supreme :)

Posted by Jim as Games, Gaming, Security

I distinctly remember playing with a 2-car version of the 8-Lane Scalextric, one of the best moments of my childhood. Yup... you guessed it... I beat my sister everytime! :) I always thought about that toy and where it is now. Perhaps in the attic? Or donated to YMCA, I don't know. But I'm sure, if that's still alive, another boy is beating his sister big time! The 8-Land Scalextric is not a game to "have" though. It's a game to rent for parties and other events. With it you get a race director, a PA with overhead mic, a computer controlled 8-lane toy, 8 controllers naturally, the choice of race style and ...

Gimme Golf: Combining Golf, Gaming and Social Networking

Posted by J. Angelo as Games, Gaming, Online Gaming

Golf is not just a game. Business deals are often made over a few rounds between associates and business partners. Friendships are strengthened. So basically golf is a social network--though not the usual online social network one would imagine. Web app developers have been finding interesting ways to combine the power of social networking and the niche interests of Web users. And in terms of golf, Skill Technology has developed Gimme Golf, where users can compete with other online users, with the possibility of playing tourney (and winning prizes!).

The grass just got a lot greener for casual gamers. Gimme Golf, a new online golf game from Skill Technology, allows players to connect with friends and ...
