Flash Game of the Week: Dude and Zombies

AGH sorry everyone probably no-one, didn't realise how late it was, I'm gonna press on with this and try make it short and sweet OK?

Today Yesterday I bring should have brought you Dude and Zombies which was made by the wonderful men and/or women at FunCrow.
The main aim of the game is to repair your ride while fighting off hoards of zombies we've all been there we know what it's like. As well as the car's permanent repair status there is also a sort of temporary repair meter which degrades as the vehicle is attacked and will stop you from permanent repairs until the meter is brought all the way up. The game features both a shop selling various weapons, a health boost (which is upgradeable through the skills menu) and mines and a skills menu which has 3 three-tier skills which cover health, reload time experience and so on.

This is another one of those games that can last you for hours and, unfortunately, isn't really intended for those 5 minute time spaces due to the time consuming nature of the game, nevertheless this is an excellent game and if you don't play it well .you may as well be the devil himself, I'm jus' sayin'.

As always the link to the game on Kongregate
And there doesn't appear to be a second site for the game, all the "More Games" links appear to link back to Kongregate.

Anyway that's it until Friday, but may end up being Saturday if nothing of my interest surfaces between now and then...
See you later (:

Feature: Autumn and winter games (plus games from 2012 onwards)

If you know me you'll know I tend to get very excited over upcoming game releases (and only buy them several months later) so here are a few releases I'm looking forward to:

• LA Noire PC port- I may not have played LA Noire yet but I am very excited to see this release and how much more it has to offer over its console counterparts.
• RAGE- Once again if you know me at all you'll know I'm a massive id fan, following them since age six and I am totally stoked for their new game and new engine which will soon house Doom 4.
• The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim- I've hardly ever played any Elder Scrolls game but I've heard about them before so I've decided to give Skyrim a go, in the meantime I will be checking out Arena and Daggerfall seeing as they're both free.
• Doom 4- It's been announced, rumours are circulating and it is due to be confirmed in 9 days, should it come out when people are saying it will this will be the first Doom game (expansions not included) in almost a decade, in typical id style.
• Quake 5- Being the massive Quake fan I am any word of a Quake 5 of any sort gets me real excited and seeing as id have been hinting towards it I'm starting to get super excited and will be waiting eagerly for John to say "It's official, Quake 5 is on its way", sadly due to RAGE and Doom 4 we may not see Quake until 2013/2014.

Well that's my insight into the games of the foreseeable future I'll be back tomorrow morning with another wonderful flash game to review.

Tata for now.

My first playthrough, should you enjoy very badly done playthroughs

That's Interesting: QuakeCon

That's right guys QuakeCon 2011 is now less than 2 weeks away SO EXCITED.

"Hey Tom, what is QuakeCon???"
QuakeCon is essentially a LAN party held by id software every August out in Texas....noting more to say.
OR IS THERE?!...yes there is.
id also use QuakeCon to announce/discuss any upcoming projects and this year there are 3 projects on my mind: Rage, Doom 4 and Quake 5
We thus far know that Rage is on its way (out 13th September I think, cannot be bothered to check) and we know that Doom 4 is a possibility and that Quake 5 may have been taken into consideration so for all of us id fans QuakeCon '11 is going to be an exciting event.

Sadly I will not be attending the event this year but may attend next year's so keep an eye out. I will be following the event closely as it unfolds and put my findings in a blog post for you all to see (:

Anyway that's it for me now sorry this was so late.
I may see you all later on today but if I don't I will see you on Tuesday where I will be discussing the best upcoming titles as 2011 draws to a close.
Goodnight.

Flash Game of the Week:The Soul Driver

Well here I am once again providing regular posts (hopefully) I'm gonna kick it all off with a quick one.

The Soul Driver is a sort of flash equivalent of The Need for Speed, the main objective of the game is to drive 42 miles without totalling your car. Every time you reach a certain distance, you will go into a garage which gives you chance to upgrade and repair your car but also adds a new obstacle to the road. There are several felonies to commit in this game, once you commit a felony, the shield in the bottom-right corner will begin to fill and once full you will gain a star and the cops will release another resource which range from spike strips to police helicopters.

As it appears in Kongregate
And Armour Games

Anyway sorry for this being late...all I can say for that really.
I shall be back tomorrow (Friday) for interesting stories in the gaming world.
Until then...

REBOOT!

"But Tom, why did you shout reboot?"

Because I'm back! That's right guys I am back, hopefully for good, I have no idea but what I do know is that there will be a big overhaul involved which means that days will be removed/changed, all of which with immediate effect.
There will be no more dev blog for a while as all projects have been put on indefinite hold.
Features will be posted at the end of the month and mostly consist of any big game releases (including upcoming releases)
I haven't planned any changes for the Flash Game of the Week but I may still have to alter it.
Hardware review is being scrapped completely because quite frankly doing it was no fun at all.
That's Interesting, again no planned changes but always open to them.
I'm considering slowing the review down to once every two weeks, will confirm on Friday, also considering bringing our very own Tesni in for a guest review at some point.
Finally I may be adding something to the Sunday slot, confirmed on Saturday.

Well that's it for now.
Glad to be back.
FGotW tomorrow.
Bye.
