Admit it, you have genre prejudice, too. I don’t know what it is about tower defense games, but I can never seem to get over the hump. My perfectionist playstyle makes me hate it when a single enemy gets through. Most of the time in these games a single enemy doesn’t even cause you to lose, but that… Continue reading
How smart am I? That is a question I often ponder as I go about my day. In the eyes of my wife and my parents, I am the smartest man in the universe, though others may not agree. Due to some less than stellar choices I made in college, I can not prove my… Continue reading
Today’s Cheap and Dirty is going to be short and sweet because that’s exactly what Escape From 26 turned out to be. That’s never a bad thing, especially when you’re looking for something to kill the time during a long day of hanging around in a giant bird cage. Escape from 26 is a point… Continue reading
I’ve never really been a big fan of the game “tug of war”. While I never really cared for it as a child, my current sentiments towards it is the result of a picture I saw of a man whose arm came off during the course of a game. I realize people need to take… Continue reading
Knowing how to escape from a room, whether it’s a prison or a prison of your own inebriation, is a very important skill to have in your arsenal. Seeing that I’m halfway through an international romp characterized by inappropriate levels of binge drinking, I decided I should probably practice this skill just in case I… Continue reading
Regardless of how little energy I actually have to expend while playing video games, there are times when I’m too lazy to actually commit to anything that requires the least amount of effort. This is preciously how Monster Craft, a game with little to no actual gameplay, can make it on to Cheap and Dirty…. Continue reading
Everyone knows that your body’s means of protecting itself from foreign invaders is through the immune system, but I bet few of you know exactly how this works. I was just like you a few hours ago, but after playing Red Extinction I’ve come to realize that these battle are fought from a side-scrolling perspective; there’s a… Continue reading
After playing Outlast most the evening yesterday, I really needed to get my mind into a much lighter and fluffier place. Being the cupcakes are the lightest, fluffiest things I know of, I decided that I’d play Papa’s CupCakeria, a game about running a cupcake bakery. Whether my nerves were still shot from the night… Continue reading
Earn Die To Die 2012 is a very simple game that has you driving through levels and earning money in order to buy upgrades that allow you to drive further in aforementioned levels (also, these levels have zombies in them, go figure). It’s a fun time killer, but there’s only so much a guy can… Continue reading
I’m going to be honest with you all, I’ve gotten sucked back into the wastelands of Fallout: New Vegas and waited till the last minute to write Cheap and Dirty Gamer for today. Because of that, I picked the very first game I saw. It just so happens that the game I picked turned out… Continue reading
If I had to name the go to game maker for Cheap and Dirty Gamer, it’d have to be good ole’ Scriptwelder. His games are short, sweet and to the point but that doesn’t stop him from experimenting a bit as well. The latest game from his library is a quick little nugget that will… Continue reading
I decided to take a nap today after a late night gossip session with Mr. Justin Lacey and almost forgot to write Cheap and Dirty. Fortunately, being cheap and dirty is built into me and my body’s natural alarm system roused me from my slumber. This has allowed me to bring you Slime Laboratory, a… Continue reading
