‘Imperium Galactica 2: Alliances’ Game Review
Real-time strategy snobs insist that the only platform their games of choice work on is the PC, and for good reason.

Thirty years ago, game developers had a simple formula for adapting any movie or TV show — take the main character, plop it in a side-scroller and force it to dodge and/or kill pixelated objects and enemies that vaguely resembled stuff in the show.
Creed are currently making their way across the country on a very special anniversary tour. They set out on a retrospective trek to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their debut disc ‘My Own Prison.’ However, what started out as a handful of dates in a few select cities dubbed the ‘2 Nights Live’ tour has turned into a full blown tour for the band.
Many times when mobile game developers go wrong, it’s because they’re trying to replicate a home console experience on a device that fits in your pocket. There’s something to be said for thinking small and nailing a simple concept with precision, and that’s just what ‘Monster Words’ does.
PC gamers have known how brilliant CD Projekt RED’s Witcher series is for some time now, but now Xbox 360 gamers can finally see what the fuss is about with the new improved Enhanced Edition.
The Abilene Civic Center was home to the loveable ogre Shrek Tuesday night as “Shrek The Musical” came to town, complete with all the bells and whistles of the Broadway adaptation.
There are few things in life that are treated with as much reverence and respect as the Ford Mustang. Sure there may have been some noticeable changes in the later models from its earlier concepts and classic originals, but even the most modern edition has been able to maintain some semblance of its unique and iconic look…until now.
Imagine you could step into a time machine and revisit all your favorite moments. Pretty cool so far, right?

When you try to relive your glory days, you end up screwing them up and ruining all your memories.
We’ve sweated out many a sleepless night wondering whatever we would do if skeletal armies assaulted us. The answer, it turns out, was always in our freezers. As ‘Pizza vs. Skeletons’ attests, pizzas are far more than the world’s perfect food. They’re also bouncing discs of undead destruction.
The Metal Masters 3 Clinic provided a historic night of memorable performances on Thursday (April 12) at the Key Club in Los Angeles.
As opposed to the normal pretape-on-Tuesday to air-on-Friday deal, this week’s ‘SmackDown’ ran live on Tuesday night, presumably as a way to clear the deck and rearrange everyone’s travel schedule for WWE’s impending European tour.
By now most everyone is sick of Tower Defense games. They seem the go-to genre for smaller developers and we’ve been inundated with subpar entries, perhaps because it’s easy to think of a new gimmick or theme for them and slap right on. In my mind nothing much has bested Desktop Tower Defense, the original browser game which almost single-handedly kicked off the popularity of the style, although there have been a few notable exceptions like Plants Vs. Zombies and Pixeljunk Monsters.
