Aliens are coming.

Can you and your team achieve the objectives without dying? Does it sound like a stand up fight or a bug hunt? In this game you will relive the first four movies of the Alien franchise with solid integration of each underlying theme. If you loved this franchise, once you...

They say you should never give a pet as a present, you just never know if the person you are giving it to has enough time to care for it well. That is unless you are the Chinese Emperor and you are giving the pet to the Japanese Emperor, he has plenty of people to help him out. And that is where you – the player – comes in. It is your job to care for the animal by growing food and a safe environment for it to live in. And did I mention that this pet is a panda? Now you are all working on...

Azul is just one of those games. It’s a game about laying tiles but not a tile laying game. It’s abstract and yet the there is a theme. It’s simple yet strategically there is a lot going on with every move. This is one of those games that you start out talking rationally to your friends about how to play and next thing you know you’re waving your hands madly about and cursing that time you had to smash tiles and missed out on completing a row. Meanwhile they are looking back at you and...

You have the afternoon free; a couple of mates swing by looking bored and you are all looking to waste an evening, kicking back playing board games.

What are some amazing games out there? Our...

When I was younger I watched ‘Dawn of the Dead’ and thought it would be sort of fun to barricade oneself in an abandoned shopping mall; playing with all the fun stuff, trying on all the clothes and generally running wild; while a band of flesh eating zombies lurks outside. Of course ‘I am Legend’ ruined that fantasy with zombies that could run and all of a sudden I was off the zombie band wagon. Tiny Epic Zombies is a game that puts the fun back into the undead wanting to eat your brains....
