The second major expansion pack to Civilization 5, Brave New World, is out now, and it brings with it a bunch of changes to the core gameplay as well as a host of new Civilizations to play as and scenarios to enjoy.
Want another dragon for your Apocalypse Habitat? There are so many good apocalyptic themes I was sure there would be another eventually. While I'm underwhelmed about Electrum, I find myself a little excited to hatch the Ouroboros Dragon in my DragonVale park. I seem to recall agent86ix is fond of Ouroboros references as well. I'm not fond of the spelling... Oroboros? Orroboros? Oroborros? Who came up with that word anyway? But enough chat, fastest breeding combos below:
Although they emerged from beta early in the summer of 2013, Steam Trading Cards really rose to prominence with the start of the 2013 Steam Summer Sale. A whole slew of games now drop Steam Trading Cards, and the sale itself really brought attention to them. However, it's not totally clear to most people what good these Steam Trading Cards are, even after reading Valve's FAQ. Thus, I'm going to attempt to demystify them and help you answer the question: Should I Care About Steam Trading Cards?
I know you've been sitting there thinking "gee, only 3 hard to breed Treasure dragons for my undersized, expensive, low DragonCash cap Treasure habitats... I wish they'd release more." Well my friend, how lucky are you? The new DragonVale Electrum Dragon is now available, and we've got the details below:
Periodically, Steam runs ginormous sales of practically every game they sell. These Steam Sales usually come around in the summer (ie, mid-July) and a couple times in the winter (ie, Black Friday and Christmas). I love these, personally, since I can gorge myself on video games and store them up like a squirrel hoards nuts for winter. Although good deals abound, following a few simple rules can keep you from major regret down the line. I'm putting these together just before the Steam Summer Sale 2013, these rules apply to pretty much every massive Steam sale, ever.
Farm Heroes Saga is yet another popular entry in King's social media gaming empire. Although the gameplay borrows heavily from Candy Crush Saga, there's still enough here that's different about Farm Heroes Saga to warrant some separate coverage. In my Farm Heroes Saga guide, I'll be hitting the high points of the game and covering the basics. Hopefully after reading my Farm Heroes Saga tips, you'll be ready to match some crops and recruit some animals to take down Rancid the Raccoon.
I'm sure you enjoyed agent86's recommendations for games like Candy Crush Saga. If I'm being honest, he's gotten me hooked on Puzzle & Dragons now... the infection is deep, and the only cure is much more dungeon crawling and monster curating. Until recently I didn't even know what a Pengdra was - and now I know that I need as many of those penguin dragons as I can stuff in a box. Nonetheless, I won't stand for him having the last word on matching puzzlers! I also have some recommendations for games similar to Candy Crush Saga... read on to check them out.
I have often called Candy Crush Saga unfair, and (so far...) nothing in Candy Crush Saga is as unfair as Chocolate. Chocolate in Candy Crush Saga is probably the # 1 reason I've cursed over the past month. When my wife hears me cursing up a storm, we exchange glances and she will ask me "Chocolate?" to which I will reply, "Yes, Chocolate." I never thought I would hate a game mechanic quite like I hate Candy Crush Saga's Chocolate. The game gets brutally hard before Chocolate is introduced, but this game mechanic really tipped the scales for me.
So, you may have recently received an email from Apple about the settlement of a class action lawsuit about in-app purchases. If you have kids, or you have ever let kids touch your i-devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod), you've probably experienced one of two scenarios:
Although it sounds like a myth or one of those email chain letters, Xbox LIVE Gold free games are sponsored by Microsoft, totally legit, and already available. Microsoft is calling this "Games with Gold." They announced these free games as part of their big E3 marketing push alongside the launch announcement of the Xbox One.
