Samurai High School

Let’s face it. A lot of us weren’t always the best students. We daydreamed in class, sometimes forgot to study for an exam or scrambled the night before to get our homework assignments finished. This is the story of one such boy. A senior high school student with poor grades and no real post-secondary plan, Kotaro …

Spore Hero

I never jumped all over the Spore bandwagon. To me, Spore was just an alien version of the Sims with some more customization and the added bonus of exploring the galaxy. Not my taste, but for a lot of people, Spore was going to be the next big thing. Sadly, it suffered from people finishing …

Bloons

  Status: So many levels to go! Sometimes you just want a simple distraction, something that doesn’t require reaching a checkpoint. I was looking for something along these lines for a trip I recently took, and since I had a bit of money left in my PSN wallet, I decided to check out a couple different …

A Day with Craboom

First, let me tell you a little about Craboom. According to Squeeballs.com, Craboom was a gift to the armed forces for all their hard work. This hard working little guy carries a cannonball on his back, so he’s got to be as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Don’t tell him he is cute! That’s one hell of …
