With the new movies X-Men: Days Of Future Past, we could expect new game from that superheroes franchise. Uncanny X-Men: Days Of Future Past deliver but is not based on the movie but rather by the comics. It’s available at a reasonable price, with no IAP or online connection required what else can you ask. Oh a review ? I don’t have one but you can check out the trailers or go at Touch arcade for a full review of Uncanny X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

Zombies ate my pizza

Alien bugs have introduced a deadly virus to a world that’s absolutely obsessed with pizza. The virus turns people into dough-brained zombies who believe humans are pizzas. As it turns out, pizza-obsessed people turn into pizza-obsessed zombies, and the world’s got a huge problem. Humanity faces extinction, but small groups of stubborn soldiers are fighting back. You are one of these soldiers and it’s up to you to defeat the zombies and save mankind.

I think you get the point…

Zombies Ate My Pizza is a browser-based, action-shooter MMO sees players traveling to a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by zombies, where they’re challenged to complete quests with an overall theme of the importance of pizza.

Outside of combat, players can interact with other users, complete exclusive events, and even enter the game’s player-vs-player tournaments.

When you start you can choose your class, you get to choose between a commando and a bomber. A top of that the girl of each class are super sexy so I pick the steamy bomber girl.

Once your class you jump on a chopper and you’re dropped off with Brie, another soldier with a lot of cleavage (what up with that?) to do a short tutorial on how to shoot zombies.

After some killing, you are taken in a safe zone where you’re given a bunch of pointless quest until you got one to kill off more zombies.

Ok that all nice and cool, but seriously guy, where the Pizza? You know where the pizza at your neighbors house because this game is just a copy of Zombie ate my neighbors, but mmo style. They didn’t even bother to change the name they just switched a word to pizza and make a synopsis that doesn’t make sense.

So far the level aren’t imaginative at all either, there is bunch of zombie movie toward you, you shot, they are dead and level done. Sometime there a boss, you run around him shoot, kill and you win.

however I have to say that moving around shooting stuff is always fun, the sexy avatar and other soldier is always welcome.

Note to my reader, this a rant from my good friend Everdan at http://www.twitch.tv/everdan76.  Go to is channel and  follow him.

The other day I was on steam looking what games were on sale. I was looking for a good strategy game to play, you know like Cossack, Starcraft or age of empire. So I’ve selected to strategy tag, on check out which game could be fun to play. I check out the first game of the list and wtf, it’s not a strategy it some kinds of shitty tower defense game. I check out the second game in the list, another tower defense game. I tell myself that probably the only one, the next one probably a RTS or TBS. I click on that third and to my dismay, it was still a fucking tower defense game.

Cossack, that a real strategy game.

It’s seem to me that the strategy game with complex AI and game mechanic that I use to love and cherish are at the same level of those boring, straight to play tower defense. For me tower defense is more a tactical game that a strategy game because you only have one strategy in that kind of game, align towers (plant, heroes, archer) and wait for enemy to die at their hand. The placement of these towers is just a tactical advantage not a strategy. These should be tag small game, tactical game tower defense, but not strategy game. These games are simple to do, much more casual and maybe sometime fun. However a tower defense is nothing compared to a well flesh out real time strategy or even good old turn base strategy game, I still mourn a time when the word strategy meant something not just a series of pixel randomly moving  to get shot by an inert tower.
