gyromancer square enix popcap

Move over, Puzzle Quest. You had a good run with the whole jewel-matching RPG hybrid, but the big boys have come to steal your throne… and rock our faces off. Gyromancer may be a little late (the Puzzle Quest folks already moved on to sci-fi), but it really doesn’t matter when this boat arrives. We already know it’s gonna…

mic & mac prove that love knows no operating system

mic_and_mac_short_film

Staunch loyalists of either Apple or Windows will not approve of the romance between Mic & Mac, two machines who fall in love with each other despite their differences. The Pixar-like video, created by a certain gverstraeten, is quite old but it’s still dawwwwwww-inducing.

an adventure in oddities: the marionette

the marionette adventure freeware

There’s no much that’s better than free, but free games can often be a little simple. Not that simple is in any way bad, but somehow, it feels like more of a steal when your free game comes as beautifully packaged as The Marionette.

The Marionette is a lush 2D adventure that follows the strange events surrounding…

windows-7-torrenting-party

Microsoft’s weird-ass marketing campaign telling people to hold Windows 7 parties was asking for a parody, and the folks at Funny or Die are happy to oblige.

get hydrophobia in slow drips or in one big flood

tb-hydrophobia

Hydrophobia doesn’t really sound like something you’d want, really–water is important, after all, and fearing it is bad–but when it’s in the form of an multiplatform game? Well, that may be more palatable, particularly when it looks like this.

pcrides_computer_dodge_srt_8_pc

When is a computer not a computer? Maybe when it’s a car. What you’re looking at here is a series of desktop computers modeled after the Dodge Charger SRT8. Why make a computer that looks like a car? You could just as easily ask “why not?”

joytron_singibigi_joystick

The Joytron Singibigi joystick is pretty unconventional looking for a home arcade controller. Instead of the typical black plastic box that you usually find these joysticks wrapped in, this one has a nice looking wood finish, reminiscent of the control panels on Japanese arcade machines.

modern warfare 2 xbox 360 joystick by mad catz

I’m not sure if slouching back in a chair playing Modern Warfare 2 in front of a television or computer screen is the sort of activity that requires camouflage, but who am I to argue with the video game peripheral gurus at Mad Catz, who have taken it upon themselves to develop a full line of…
