Tomb Raider Underworld

The next installment of Laura Croft is Tomb Raider Underworld. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but the game is great. It has got the classic Tomb Raider story line and feel which you have come to love, but with improved graphics.

Strategic Assault for the iPhone

By Jonathan at 6:51 PM

A new game by the name of Strategic Assault recently saw its iPhone debut. It may be the first real time strategy game published on the iPhone platform, but is it really all that great?

Strategic Assault has very similar feel to that of the Command & Conquer series. You can create a variety of little fighters like tanks, jeeps, and helicopters with which you capture resources.  As in most RTS games your ultimate goal is to hunt down the opposition with a squad of your finest men…or whatever troops you can afford anyways.

Those of you new to Strategic Assault may marvel over it, what with the four out of five star rating it holds, but it really is an antique. I first played Strategic Assault over five years ago on my Palm M100 which had a 16 MHz processor and 8MB of ram/storage.

For Halo Fans

Last evening Bungie posted the official trailer for it’s upcoming game Halo 3: Recon.  This is following the previous teasers (such as the “Keep it Clean” campaign a month or so back), giving a much more defined look at what the game is about.

Bored? Waste time trying some useful and useless downloads.
