In the Playack last week:
Age of Booty
This is a point and click real-time strategy game. The goal here is to capture towns on the map and collect supplies while completing other objectives. Loot allows you to upgrade your towns and ship to better take down other pesky pirates.
Atom Zombie Smasher
You get a birds eye view of an area in which zombies will attack. The clueless civilians have no idea. It’s your job to plan an escape and defend them against the zombies with the various weapons you unlock. In true zombie fashion, the living are easily converted. So act fast or things will quickly get out of hand.
No PlayPass releases but there is new add-on content for Orcs Must Die. The Lost Adventures add-on will give you a new trap, new enemies and new maps.

Sometimes life just isn't fair. Vincent Van Gogh went completely unappreciated during his lifetime despite his obvious genius; Jesus - a man who could turn water into wine, don't forget - was nailed to a cross and left for dead; while Steve Brookstein has only ever had one number one single, despite winning the very first series of The X Factor. Now what's that about?
the dreamcast was not amazing:
-It's graphics were in between ps1 and ps2
-the controller felt so narrow and skinny
-no dvd drive
I don't know why people act like it was anything more than another overrated undersold flop of a console. My friend had one because "next gen" and I told him I'm just waiting for PS2.
He always talked about graphics, non stop. Of course when I played it did look better than anything I've seen before, but that was it. The games were ok at best. I didn't like NFL 2K's control scheme compared to Madden's.
Even as a kid I predicted this console would die off in 2 years, well what happened...
Failure is always relative. How many sales makes something successful? "If your not first, your last", or in this case, you failed. I'll admit, I've never heard of a couple of these.
GameCube made the most profit in its generation. I don't consider that console a flop.
I consider a flop to be a product that has a negative impact financially for a company.
Bit Cultures writes: Welcome back to Steam A to Z. Easy as 1, 2, 3. Easy as playing PC games and writing short snippets about each of them. Seriously, the most difficult thing about writing this was trying to make that first bit scan with the Jackson 5 hit ABC, and that didn’t work. Regardless, let’s crack on!
OnLive announced that they would be shutting down their streaming service for good at the end of this month, which has unsurprisingly upset some of the streaming service’s supporters. While some took to griping on forums, OnLive user Larry Gadea decided to take action.
Onlive sucks. The only good thing about it is the interface
