Tap Defense — an iPhone game

Price: Free (ad-supported)
Version: 1.3.2
Site: TapJoy
Tower Defense games are a dime a dozen, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be fun. If you’re the type who enjoys setting elaborate sentry gun traps in Team Fortress Classic, Tap Defense, TapJoy’s foray into the genre is worth looking at. Tap Defense doesn’t offer flashy graphics or cute [...]

I knew I didn’t suck THIS much

Everyone was saying that I needed a fight pad or an arcade stick to hold my own in Street Fighter IV. I was trying to avoid purchasing yet another game peripheral, but it was discouraging to get my ass kicked by shotos throwing fireballs and shoryukenning all over the place. I passed by [...]

Initial Thoughts on Dawn of War 2
