Bocce Dice Game Review (prepublished version)

Sophocles once said, "The dice of Zeus always fall luckily." That might very well be true for the Greek god of the sky and thunder, but hardly a common occurrence for us earthbound mortals. Luck is an invisible but ever-present force that gamers know all too well. One moment you'll be the lead dog and the next moment you'll be behind the pack. In this game of fickle dice and dexterity, you can make your own luck...and bitter rivalries! But it's all in fun.

Dads Do Crazy Things

As parents, we sacrifice a lot for our children. We make fools of ourselves, set our own dreams aside, and focus fully on the well-being of our kids. I happily do this every day. It just so happens that this summer I did something that made everyone around me wince and gag, but my 3 children thought I was the coolest person in the world.

Slapshot Game Review

The air is cool and the ice is smooth. All around you scream the fans and before you sits your team. They look up to you, their Team Manager, and wait for your words of wisdom before taking the ice. You have worked hard to create the best team possible, trading players and drafting new ones. A quick look at the opposite team tells you they think they have the advantage, but a game is not won until it's played. And, baby, you can play a mean game of ice hockey.

The Agents Game Review (prepublished version)

They trained you, used you, and left you for dead. When you came crawling back to the Safehouse, full of bullet holes, they turned you away. You are no longer protected and your enemies are getting closer. You decided not to go gently into that good night and contacted those whom you still trust. You have your mission and you know your chances aren't good, but you've been living on borrowed time anyway. You are driven by vengeance and survival. A dangerous combo...

Fire and Flora Game Review (prepublished version)

If you walk outside your house, you'll see plants in abundance. Most people just see a "tree" or a "flower", but someone who is active in the ecological management of the land sees more. They see a thriving population of native plants or a land being invaded by an enemy. In this game, you take on the role of an ecologist who's in charge of tending to the natural landscape and helping it thrive, while at the same time protecting it from damgers both foreign and natural.

IncrediBrawl Game Review (prepublished version)

Remember having intense conversations with friends at school about which toy character would dominate another if put into the boxing ring? I do. I spent way too much time thinking about why Soundwave would kick the metal butt of Megatron, and how Snake Eyes would be the clear winner if he fought Storm Shadow. Now we can put these types of debates to rest and determine the final answer by pitting classic characters into a battle royal to the finish!
