When I was in grade school (grammar school for those time traveling to the future from the early 1800’s), I played a game called Odell Lake on the Macintosh computers we had at school. In the game, you played the role of one of many fish trying to survive in the titular lake. What was… Continue reading
There’s nothing quite like a relaxing vacation to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. For me, the bets part of this scenario is escaping from the everyday stresses in the big city. Unfortunately, cabin living can also have it’s own problems too, especially when one forgets to expect the unexpected. It’s really hard to… Continue reading
After a week of heavy drinking, heavy eating and heavy sightseeing in Amsterdam and at Oktoberfest, my mind has been a bit fuzzy. Fortunately, good ol’ EIC Justin Lacey had already prepared for this and sought out a wonderful game to be featured on this week’s Cheap and Dirty Gamer. In fact, Baron’s Gate is of… Continue reading
So I apparently got the “nerd flu” while I was at Gamescom and am currently in the throes of a sickness that is not unlike the initial signs of zombie transformation. This had put me into a foul mood but has also forced me to imagine a world where I actually gave in to such… Continue reading
I’ve been reviewing browser games for quite some time now and I’ve learned to take the prospects of zombies games with a grain of salt. Everyone is doing them and while I love zombies, not everyone does them as well as they possibly could. When I first saw Undead End 2, I assumed it would… 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
Today’s Cheap and Dirty Gamer is brought to you by the letter “F” for frustration. For some reason or another, my computer decided to take a poop directly onto my foot (metaphorically speaking of course) so I’ve been troubleshooting all day. You could also say I’ve been knee deep in crap for the better part… Continue reading
People are always talking about how cool being a pirate would be, but on paper the pirate lifestyle is chock full of jerk-centic behavior. While some people don’t mind taking what the want, when they want it, there are those that like the sensation of both high seas adventure and moral righteousness. If you happen to… Continue reading
Should one judge the game Lazerman merely by looking at the art above, they’d more than likely think that Lazerman was but a cheap Mega Man ripoff in the guise of a browser game. While the over-sized head and helmet do strike an uncanny resemblance to the legendary “Blue Bomber”, the similarities end there. Somehow, the game’s protagonist got involved with… Continue reading
Throughout time, gamers have had numerous opportunities to take control of horrifying beasts and run around doing things that horrible beasts tend to do. We’ve been indoctrinated to believe that once given the reigns of monsters, we should go on rampages and destroy everything in our paths, never once considering that perhaps we have a choice in… Continue reading
If your Valentine’s Day has sucked so far, you’re in store for quite the treat as I take you through the English Patient of monster truck games with Monster Truck Trip 3 by nonamelab. Watch as I lather on a heavy layer of stunts, drama and sensuality. If you prefer diesel over pussier forms of gasoline,… Continue reading
