Free App of the Day: Eternity Warriors

Here’s a fun little freebie for you. It’s a wave-based hack n’ slash game with loot to discover, levels to gain and zombies to slaughter. It costs bugger-all, so it’s worth picking up. Eternity Warriorslooks decent, has fun combat (that could use a little better targeting) and provides some mindless distraction. Not too bad for free! [Found a free App for iOS or Android?

Game Debate to the Death! K.O.T.O.R. VS The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Last weekwas quite the end of the year blowout debate. I threw my debate traps into the waters, cast out my anchor, and waited for a week to see what kind of things would wash up. A decent amount of fiddler trolls surfaced as expected, but for the most part our usual weekly intelligent debate continued as scheduled. It wasn’t quite as exciting as the whored out daily Discovery Channel documentaries, but I didn’t grow a beard, lose an arm or earn a hundred grand, so I guess things even out....

GDC 09: Experimental Gameplay Sessions

The Experimental Gameplay Sessions talk at last year’s GDC was one of my favorites, but also one of the most useless for me as a blogger — designers showed up and talked about their experimental games, but most of the games were already available and those that weren’t might one day be turned into full-fledged projects. To be honest, this year was no different in that respect. I had a great time seeing all the experimental games, but you’ll have a significantly less-great time reading about the ones you can’t play....

Gullible PSN users fall prey to scammers

Reports are coming in from PS3 fans that seem to indicate “serious issues” on the PlayStation Network. According to the victims, their accounts are getting hacked and charged obscene amounts of money. To be fair, however, it seems to be the victims’ fault. PS3 owner Dom Guerrera had the credit card charged $350 for PSN content that he didn’t buy himself. The unauthorized abuse, however, seems to stem from Guerrera’s own activity, since he was paying heed to chain emails and entering personal information on a “free” PlayStation Network code generator....

Halo Wars’ controls trump the mouse and keyboard

Halo Wars handles better than a PC RTS. At least, that’s what the guys at Ensemble (the developer of the game) seem to think. In a recent interview withCVG, lead designer Graeme Devine noted that the game trumped the typical PC and mouse setup and noted that he “wouldn’t say it if [he] didn’t believe it.” He also commented on the fact that Ensemble spent the majority of their first year in development simply ironing out the supposedly stellar controls....

The trailer jogs us through the third year of Harry’s time at Hogwarts, and if you don’t know what is going on I’m not about to explain Harry Potter to you.
