SteamWorld Dig follows the adventures of Rusty, a steampunk robot who inherits an old mine from a missing relative. As Rusty explores the mine, he finds both danger and riches. What lies beneath Tumbleton? What happened to the mine's former owner? Dig deep and find out...
So at first SuperCell teased us with this picture of the Halloween Headstone as part of promotions leading up to the 2014 Halloween update, but it may not have been immediately obvious that the Halloween Headstone is actually an in game obstacle much like the Christmas Tree from previous years. If you're lucky (and you keep your village Nice and Tidy ) then after a few days you may have noticed a Halloween Headstone in your village. Some Chiefs will rip it up without a second thought, but if you are like me you want to know what you get for removing the Halloween Headstone before you destroy such a festive decoration. Well, fear not I've got all the details.
Even if you try to limit "screen time" for your young kids, there come those times when it is very very useful to be able to occupy them for a few minutes. When you are waiting for your food in a restaurant, or taking a long drive in the car, there are those moments when all else fails and just a few minutes of silence can help you hang on to sanity for one more day. It as at this point that you may think about that super powerful smartphone in your pocket. A lot of parents are okay with a few minutes of supervised phone play, but they worry about what their kids will get up to. Like most technology, it works best if you plan ahead. Having apps for young kids already installed and pre-screened on your mobile device will mean you are prepared for whatever new disaster decides to call itself "Wednesday" this week. In fact, there are a lot of great games for young kids out there, but I find that its not that easy to filter the good from the bad, especially when searching on the App Store itself. Check out the WOTS Top 6 mobile games for young kids and be prepared for whatever life throws at you.
Wasteland is a game with a complex legacy. One of the great, classic, post-apocalyptic computer RPGs of its time, it is often forgotten. It lives in the shadow of it's bigger brother, Fallout. Complex legal issues have entwined both game series over the years. However, following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Wasteland 2 was born. Is it a worthy successor to Wasteland and Fallout? Let's find out.
The Austin Chronicle recently sponsored an indie game expo downtown, and EB and I thought this would be a great opportunity to hang out, play some games, and check out the local indie scene. Despite our best efforts, we didn't make it to every station, but what we did get to experience was extremely fun! Stay tuned for our report on Game On Austin 2014!
Wasteland 2 is a very good game, but it's also a very long game that throws its complexity right in your face from the start. It can be hard to understand how to create the "best" characters possible. The game mechanics are also somewhat opaque at the beginning. I've done the research and played the game, and I'm here to tell you all the things you need to know in order to get started right the first time.
Plague Inc hooks you with the basics of fun simulation gameplay - well polished icons describe everything from your pathogens attributes to the types of diseases you can unleash, and an active global map hums with boats and planes until your contagion begins to stain it with the red of infection and the black of death. You'll keep playing it for the novel disease types and challenges, and the vendettas of previous matches where you came so close but those pesky humans managed to find a cure. If long games find you throning it in the company bathroom, remember to wash your hands and avoid real plagues when you are done.
Here at Without the Sarcasm, we play a lot of Clash of Clans. We also write a lot of Clash of Clans articles. You might say we're Clash of Clans fanatics! Here I've collected all of our many articles and organized them into a MEGAGUIDE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS for easy reference.
