Facebook games have come a long way from the days of Packrat and Mafia Wars. Loads of the big console publishers have seen the ludicrous success of Zynga and are getting in on the action. In the past year, Ubisoft have fielded Assassins Creed: Project Legacy, Square Enix have Final Fantasy: Knights of the Crystals, Atari has just provided Dungeons [...]
Last week Activision spilled the beans on Call Of Duty: Elite which Beachhead Studios have been beavering away on for the past 2 years. In fact they were created just to develop and manage it. According to Beachhead, they created Elite to enrich the multiplayer community within the Call Of Duty games. Elite has been built to fully integrate with [...]

If you are interested in watching other people play games (and take part yourself) and were disappointed to see the demise of xleague.tv/pulse last year then gamescast.tv is for you.
The Nike running game starts tomorrow (22nd Oct 2010) at 6pm. The premise is simple. Run between specially designated Grid phone boxes (yes, those BT phoneboxes that no one uses any more) and earn badges and points. Yes, that does mean running outside and doing actual exercise!
I’ve just added 8bitstange.com to the list of my webcomic/gaming sites. It now sits proudly alongside Order of the Stick, xkcd and Penny Arcade to name but a few. Why have I done this? Well, 8 bit strange is a new site set up by an animator called Greg Kaperski which currently contains 2 episodes of short animations based on [...]
Looks like our beloved National Health Service has come over all hip and down wid da cool kidz. Or they’re trying to anyway. The NHS has teamed up with MochiMedia and launched an online flash game to promote STD awareness by shooting chlamydia-carrying rabbits as they shag their way around the mean back streets of the inner city. Fo’ shizzle. [...]
Quake is live via your web browser!
If you’re into web games, have a look at UK-based Doof. Web browser games aren’t really my thing – I find them too repetitive and mechanistic – but Doof is pretty slick-looking so I had a bit of a poke around. It’s basically a collection of web games with a flashy interface and some social networking features thrown in. As [...]
Have you heard about the Miss Video Game 2007 competition? It’s a competition claiming to “To assist in the proliferation of females in gaming genres of all types and to help raise awareness of the female gaming audience among game publishers and advertisers” by showcasing photos of women who “don’t mind video games”. It’s also definitely not a beauty pageant, [...]
I found this mildly entertaining flash game, based on Warcraft 3′s Element Tower Defence and Starcraft’s Turrent Defence. I haven’t played either of those so I have no idea how this compares but it’s a good diversion. It’s pretty simple. Place towers, wait for invaders, watch towers hit invaders with variously coloured-blobs, upgrade towers for next wave. Repeat until castle [...]
I found web-based Flash game Murloc RPG at XGenStudios, who also host Defend Your Castle. Apparently Gamer Disclaimer is a bit of a World of Warcraft fan. Rather than hoping for Blizzard to make Murlocs into a playable race, (s)he decided to write (her/)his own 5MB flash game. It was featured in the WoW Community Spotlight back in October. Murloc [...]
