Three games to light up your 4th

July 4th, 2009 by Randy Nelson

The founding of a nation is pretty significant and well worth getting excited about. The best way to display said excitement is, of course, with massive, colorful airborne explosions, a.k.a. fireworks. Tomorrow night, towns across the USA will be putting on fireworks displays, big and small — but why should you have to wait for it to get dark? The games you’ll find after the break will let you get all explode-y from the comfort of your living room, without the charred mess and frantic 911 call. So, put on your favorite patriotic tune (it’s “The Stars & Stripes Forever” for us) and make with the clicking!

Renegade Kid returning to the hospital in Dementium II

Or at least some morphine to dull the pain.

Notes Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham, “We were extremely satisfied with what we accomplished with the original Dementium, but knew we could do even more given the chance to develop a sequel.” Little is known about the return trip into portable madness, though publisher SouthPeak promises even more hospital scares when Dementium II ships for the DS in the first part of 2010.

NYCC 09: Roogoo Twisted Towers and Roogoo Attack! hands-on

February 9th, 2009 by Ben Gilbert

When we first got our filthy mitts on a demo of Xbox Live puzzler Roogoo way back when, we noted its deceiving looks in comparison to its addictive and surprisingly complex gameplay. Nearly a year later and we’re back in the same position, though this time we’re playing Wii and DS iterations Roogoo Twisted Towers and Roogoo Attack! (respectively).

Checking out a demo of each before this weekend’s New York Comic Con, we walked away smiling once again — childish looks and throwaway story aside, Roogoo Twisted Towers and Roogoo Attack! look to be shaping up very well.
