It’s not every day that a game follows on from an incredibly addictive experience (and yes, Peggle is more than a game) but that day has finally arrived my friends.
Behold the era of PopCap and witness the glory that is Plants Vs Zombies. Is it tower defense, is it real-time strategy? It doesn’t matter. It’s ridiculously fun and will steal hours (perhaps days) from you like a sordid World of Warcraft affair.
FSA: The Podcast – Episode 10 – 22/05/2009 Matthew Griffin and Geoff Larsen take you on a magical* journey through the troubled land of 3D Realms and give shrewd wisdom on the fate of The Duke. Plants and Zombies are going head-to-head and it’s time to pick a side. I’m watching you if I see a traffic cone on your person. I know you’re excited!

FROM EPISODE 10 OF FORWARD SLASH AWESOME: THE PODCAST If the title of this game from Konjak sounds a little familiar you’d be correct. It does look and play like a Zelda platformer but guess what? It’s freeware the the Link-looking-guy is wearing a green Christmas hat! Now I know, I just completely sold you on downloading this but there is more. The guy also has pink hair.

It is Zelda on the DS, what else needs to be said?
As a fan of Wind Waker on the Gamecube it is good to see that Nintendo have returned to their colourful cel-shaded style.

FROM EPISODE 9 OF FORWARD SLASH AWESOME: THE PODCAST Have you ever sat down and thought to yourself: man, I love those old arcade games but I just wish I could play like five at once? Well, stop wishing! Rom Check Fail is here to mash up beloved games like Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros. and Asteroids into one /Awesome experience! Don’t be like all those other suckers out there who actually have to decide what classic game they want to play. [...]
FSA: The Podcast – Episode 9 – 15/05/2009 Have you ever been freaked out by a game? Perhaps scared stiff? And maybe you’re not sure why… This week, Matthew Griffin and Geoff Larsen explore nightmare fuel in games! Boo haha ha! We also chat about Ghostbusters, Pokemon and give out more zany E3 predictions. We show some love for Castlevania as we flip-out for Peggle in WoW. The Indie-tasic game of the week will have your head in a classic [...]
He’s back. And while I haven’t touched the series since underground, I was eagerly anticipating this newest incarnation. ‘Tony Hawk: Ride’ ticks all the boxes required to get a game published and people chatting about it: a well known series with some motion control and a cheesy video.
