Guitar Hero and Rock Band have created a true international phenomenon. The two titles combined have made near one billion dollars. Seriously. Billion. That’s a lot of games sold, and lot of rock heroes living the pretend dream.
Enter Guitar Geek. This is a game that lets you live the fun of simulated guitar action without a console system and hundreds of dollars in game and peripherals.
It’s not too common to get full-fledged real-time strategy gaming on coming out in anything other than a $50 AAA game format. That’s what makes BC Kings so refreshing. This is a full-featured and fun RTS game that will only run you $20.
Sure there are some things that are pretty laughable about the title, but all in all, it does the genre well and is a good time to play.
Hanna in a Choppa is a pretty brilliant little Flash game. It’s smooth, it’s quirky and it’s fun. It’s basically everything that a Flash game should be.
You take on the role of Hanna, and you are in a Choppa. Try and keep up people. Your goal on each level is to guide the Choppa to the flag and land by it. Simple. It’s very difficult to damage your shuttle and there are very few things that will “kill” you, so the game is easy to play. In fact, why don’t you play it right now?
Empire of the Gods is a nice departure from your usual casual game. It’s based around a card game paradigm… but it’s really a sort of strategy board game. Immediately, this makes it stand out from the crowd of Luxor, Bejeweled, Mystery Case Files and Diner Dash clones. However, it cannot escape the super-trendy Egypt theme that is plaguing casual gaming (get it - Egypt… plague - it’s hilarious, trust me).
However, that’s not really an issue because Empire of the Gods takes its theme, integrates it to the gameplay and looks good doing it.
