Anathema Game Review

Salem was built upon the bedrock of religious doctrine that was riddled with cracks of intolerance, superstition, and ignorance. When fear and panic swept through the community in the 1600's, mass hysteria debased unjustly accused individuals to a level parallel to demons and witches. What some called purification is now known to be murder. A formal curse by a religious leader is called an "anathema". If we let our fears rule us, we are truly cursed creatures who are forever lost in shadow.

Stak Bots Game Review

The "Great Bickering" began with a simple question: "Why?" From there, every Bot generated their own opinion and every opinion was judged via a simple boolean algorithm. Camps were quickly formed, comprised of like-minded Bots who thought along the same code parameters. It quickly became apparent that compiling "differently" was dangerous. Skirmishes turned into battles and battles into wars. Join the fight and help your side of the argument win!

Firewall Game Review (prepublished version)

According to the chatter on the forums and the annoying posts from script kiddies, a computer mainframe went online that was supposedly unhackable. Impossible! Even the toughest armor has a seam that can be exploited. You decide that you are going to make hacker history and be the first to punch a hole in the most secure mainframe to date. Of course, others have the same idea. Let the race begin! Hackers, start your decryption programs!

Monster Café Game Review

You always dreamed of opening your own place and serving your clientele the very freshest of meals. Finally, after years of hard work, you have realized your dream and opened your very own restaurant! But your dream quickly became a nightmare when all your customers were monsters! Literally! Oh, well. No one said the restaurant business was easy and never forget: the customer is always right, no matter how wrong their order is.

Clubs Game Review

My parents told me to never step on others to elevate myself or to steal for personal gain. Ironically, that is exactly what you must do in card games. Especially climbing games, where you must out play your opponents using their last play as your springboard. Stealing is also necessary, as taking cards from others is the only way to earn points. Charles Lamb once said, "cards are war, in disguise of a sport." If that is true (and it is), get ready for a fight with clubs.

FrankenDie Game Review

It's tough being a Mad Scientist! Everyone fears you, the pay is lousy, and you spend most of your time either avoiding angry peasants or chasing off nosy kids. One would be wise to avoid the profession altogether if it weren't for the fact that the benefits are awesome! Creepy castle, eccentric lab assistants, and let's not forget your very own "build-and-control" creature! Of course, finding the bits for your creature can be a problem, especially when you have competition!
