Battle Sheep Game Review

Chances are you've heard the saying, "the grass is always greener on the other side." This saying suggests that other circumstances are seemingly more desirable than an individual's current reality. Which might or might not be true. But what if there is no "other side"? Wouldn't you want as much of that grass (regardless of color) as possible? In this game, you'll be leading your sheep to expand and control limited pasture space. There are no wolves in this game. Just a lot of aggressive mutton.

Island Siege Game Review

Can you believe it's July already? Half of the year has come and gone, and I feel that I haven't accomplished anything. With only 6 months left in the year, we need to get busy! Socrates said, "Beware the barrenness of a busy life," but I have a hard time taking advice from a guy who wore a bed sheet.

VOLT: Robot Battle Arena Game Review

When you think of sports, I wouldn't be surprised if baseball, basketball, football, and other team games come to mind. We often think of "sports" as being a physical human activity, but this is not always the case. In 1998, a television show titled "Robot Wars" hit the British airwaves and challenged how we look at sports. Now it was machines being powered by human ingenuity that battled in the area. In this game, you get a chance to test your own mental skills, logical thinking, strategic foresight, and tactical guile to become the ultimate robot battling champion.

Wild Guns (Version 2) Game Review

Bat Masterson said, "Never run a bluff with a six-gun." Life is too precious a thing to use like so many chips in a Poker game. But when the stakes are high, the reward sometimes outweighs the risk. In this game, you will either survive and claim the prize or be just one more Gunslinger dead in the dust. Speed does matter, but you need to be smart, too. Out-think your opponents as well as outdraw them. In the blink of an eye, you could be victorious or dead.

In Review: Father Geek’s Monthly Newsletter (June 2014)

My little geeks are out of school and enjoying their new-found summer freedom. Like most adults (other than the smart ones who went into education), I don't have a summer break. My oldest son takes great delight in reminding me how long he gets to sleep in and not do anything all day if he wants to. Of course, I give him jobs to do. Pick up dog poop, pick up your toys, do yard work, etc. Take that, kiddo!
