Lock and Roll: Pilot



This is a post on a series that tries to complement music to 3 recent featured games. We suggest you play the YouTube video and switch to the game quickly. And of course, mute the game. The music choices is based on the intensity of the melody for the game's genre and if possible, the lyrics itself.

Cell Warfare



The Dragon and the Wizard



Dinowaurs

Bunny Invasion 2

Personally, I dig that. Wanna make out?
This game is the Last Stand with 60 levels of bunnies, shops, trophies, cutscenes, protecting the pub, and LOTS OF weapons.

Gameplay :( Unlike Last Stand 2 which at least feature a different tweak to its gameplay than just shooting zombies, this does not. While it is cool to kill bunnies and make PETA angry, the fun factor diminishes a lot. There are a variety of bunnies that do different attacks but they're slapdash copies of such enemies from other games, bad or good. The menus also are too flashy and they lag themselves. Its navigation in the menus are horrible and slow.

Graphics :/ There's nothing outstanding about the graphics. It's satisfactory but does not exceed that level.

Plot :( The obscene and ridiculous nature of the plot reminded me of Former President George W. Bush. Except for his vocabulary and grammar gaffes, the way he tells stories are similar to this. It copies Thing-Thing 4's disastrous plot into its own, therefore the plot is redundant and unnecessary.

Sound :( The only music they have is some random hip-hop music on the menu. During defending, Mr. Frost randomly says some random battle shouts with no music. At least, the guns have some sound effects.

Overall :( The game is terribly overrated. Storm the House 3 has much better features.

The Dragon and the Wizard

dis is hw my user lewks liek in ruenscape adn battleon zomg u paly?!?!
Part of the Difference Games series, the Dragon and the Wizard is based on Gandalf the Grey lookalike, Indiana Jones, and Eldest and you must spot the differences in the beautiful art game.

NOTE: I use smiley faces because rating through numbers require statistical mathematics which I really hate. :) - Good! :( - Bad :| - Depends/Neutral

Graphics :) Like all Difference Games, this features nifty graphics and the expression of Gandalf and the young kids are priceless. Its cuteness with its explicit details are fantastic.

Gameplay :( Like all Difference Games, you spot the difference. This includes a timer so if you do not finish it before time runs out, you have to do an extra picture to spot which is usually a laughable one. The differences can be small and big and you need to have a careful eye. The problem with all Difference games are that the graphics IS the gameplay (Also the reason why graphics come first instead of gameplay in this review). It's like an art exhibition but with gameplay embedded into it. The differences sometimes can be the same even played thrice. The code has some major issues on the timer too and it hinders its replayability. The gameplay itself is an obstacle for people who like to see art.

Sound :( The music is subpar due to it trying to follow the storyline. It's a very short loop and gets tedious very fast. Personally, "Journey of the Sorcerer" a.k.a The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV Theme Song actually does the job much better with its mellow starting and heroic chorus. It's also appropriately named.

i pwn
Overall :| It's artistically awesome and articulate in its emotion. However, this game does not deserve badges due to its inclined nature on art instead of gameplay. If you're into art, go ahead and play this game. If not, play something else.

The Halo Wars Challenge

"Finish the Fight!"
The Halo Wars Sweepstakes is hosted in the game Battalion: Nemesis. Along with the sweepstakes, there's a hidden point challenge which is worth 10 pts.

The way to accomplishing the 10 pt hidden challenge is to play any stage (preferably the first tutorial) and completing it. After you complete it you will get the 10 pts, and a challenge will appear-accept it. The best way to win in this challenge is to camp in the mountains towards the top left part of the stage, and wait for your enemies to come to you. After you complete this little battle, the ticket is yours!
Strategy:
- Send troops to upper left mountains ASAP.
- When a spartan's health turn red, send him to the shore zone, directly above the mountains, to heal.
-When fighting, let the enemies come to you. Wait in the mountains for a chance to strike.
-Direct ALL forces to anybody on your base trying to capture it.

5 New Picks!

Last weeks picks: Distopix, Crow In Hell, Alpha Bounty.

The new picks:

Popopop: Have fun doing what you’ve always wanted to do! Set off wonderfully colorful chain reactions and pop all the balls to win each level. See if you can manage all 42 of them. The game doesn’t stop there though! Create your own levels using the level editor and rate on and play other user-created levels.

ClickRace: A silly little game to test how fast you can click a button 50 times. It’s not quite as easy as it looks though…

Divergence Turret Defense: Defend your base with turrets, you can upgrade them and make them more powerful, aim with your mouse to destroy enemy’s.

Elite Forces: South Osetia: Peace enforcement. Take a chance to fight as Special Ops in South Osetia during ‘8 days War’.
Try Overwhelm enemy using towers, units and hero.

The Virus Game: Ever wanted to be a virus?

PLEASE NOTE: Descriptions are directly taken from the game descriptions which is why some of them are extremely short compared to before.
