This game takes place in a hotel, but it’s not your run of the mill bed and breakfast. Instead, this is a high class zombie hotel that houses the hottest zombie celebrities. You will take on the role of Bill, a man who is dedicated to clearing out the zombie filth. Read More »

slingshothdSlingshot Puzzle HD from Alawar is a game that will require skill, logic, and a bit of luck. The idea is to line up and fling a ball to collect a number of gems in each level, avoiding obstacles along the way. It’s a bit like a cross between a physics-based puzzle and a game of pool.

When you begin the game, you will see a sleek wooden playing field, a set of three gems, and a ball launcher. The first step is to line the launcher up with the gems. After that, pull back to launch the ball, where it must run into all of the gems before hitting the end point.

troopappPerhaps because they offer such a mix of the obvious and the unexpected, lists of the collective nouns we use to refer to animals are endlessly entertaining. A Troop is a Group of Monkey‘s uses the comedy and absurdity inherent in these words as the premise for a new children’s storybook app for iPad from Little Bahalia Publishing.

Galaga 30th 6

It’s time again, to take a trip back to yesteryear and reminisce about getting dropped off at the arcade downtown and meeting up with your friends for a burger and soda and a long night of dropping quarters in slots. On Flashback Friday, we highlight a game that is either straight out of a previous decade, or at least pays homage to the greats with a legitimately good recreation of a classic arcade game.

Last week, we went on an epic dungeon crawl with Sword of Fargoal. That is the longest-lasting game on my iPad. It has always been with me and always will. This week, we get back into the arcade with a little Galaga family reunion.
