World in Conflict: The Cold War Heats Up!

“World in Conflict,” (WiC) however, is a totally different concept all together. Taking place in 1989, the year in which the Soviet Union collapsed, the game itself takes an alternate route in history and shows what could have happened. Instead of the USSR collapsing, its leaders choose to invade western Europe and Seattle which sparks World War III, and the Cold War gets very hot.

And it is, but when one looks at the features of this game on paper, it seems like it is perfect.  The game play has been vastly improved since the first.  The combat is frantic and intuitive, and the new spell system adds new levels of customization to the game.  Mechanically, …

Dead Space: High Caliber Horror

The combat is this game’s most innovative feature. While the monsters are undead, the classic “shoot them in the head” method will not work here. In order to dispatch these monsters, you must strategically dismember them. This adds a sense of complexity to the game as the player must figure out witch limbs to remove in order to kill a particular creature.

Flash games aren’t supposed to be good. They’re an online staple much like Youtube’s video of groin shots, and pictures of cats posing the eternal question “I can haz cheezeburger?”  Flash games are a bad ending of a story. Well then don’t tell Kongregate, and definitely don’t tell Sonny.  Kongregate  (www.Kongregate.com) is one of those free, “Hey give us your email” gaming sites that, for just a valid e-mail account and a motivation to waste your time, will help you do just that. For the World of Warcraft crowd that …
