The Breakdown
It’s hard to describe an RTS that takes cues from games like Lemmings and Smash TV and that also visually pays homage to old school vector graphics in a single sentence; so let’s use just a single word. Awesome!
The Important Stuff
Back in 2006 Introversion Software won a few prestigious awards at the Independant Games Festival, including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, for their PC title Darwinia. Now their hard-to-classify-yet-extremely-addicting creation has made its way onto the Xbox Live Arcade. Read the rest of this entry »
Peggle On Your iPhone
As you know, unless your living under a rock, Peggle was a huge hit on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. I could only find one problem with Peggle, you couldn’t play it on the go. No worries though, Peggle is now on the iPhone so you can enjoy this great masterpiece wherever you go!
The game is great fun at a great price. The controls transferred beautifully to the iPhone. I actually think the iPhone version has better controls at times!
Over all the game is great and is far worth the great price. If you have an iPhone I highly recommend it.

Let me begin by saying I absolutely love Left 4 Dead. There is just something about blasting zombies as you and some friends frantically try to escape each level that makes me smile. For me it’s an incredibly fun game, and now a year later Valve is releasing a sequel! It’s worth mentioning that some fans of the original title were a little less than happy with Valve for coming out with another game so quickly, but in my opinion they have changed enough things and added enough new features to warrant a full release.
Those who pre-ordered the title at a few select retailers were given the chance to Read the rest of this entry »

Foosh/Buzz Bites 2.0
Posted by Scratch in BTG, I thought this was cool, Non Videogame, Reviews on October 21st, 2009
Before you start, I’d like to point you Chris’ AWESOME review. To avoid repeating things and thus being extremely lame and boring, you can check out his review to get the low down. I was the second guinea pig of this experiment and have had some similar findings along with some sleepless nights. Having fresh breath and the energy to be up all night long does have it’s advantages.

BreakingTheGame’s Product Testing – Vroom Foods, Inc.
Posted by CoyAndChris in Non Videogame on October 20th, 2009
About two weeks ago Kiki contacted me and inquired if I’d like to try out some samples of an “energy product” and post up a review for BTG. Of course I agreed, I’m a caffeine addict. I love my coffee and sodas, and without the occasional Red Bull or Monster in the morning at work I’d be drowsy at my desk and dead to the world.
A few days later in the mail I received a package direct from Vroom Foods, Inc. On the outside of the packaging, in big bold letters, exclaimed that the parcel contained “SERIOUSLY CAFFEINATED!® Contents”. Prior to this review I had Read the rest of this entry »
