First Encounter is a series of first impression pieces we write based on the game’s demo alone. First impressions mean a lot in today’s industry, and a well-made demo often either makes or breaks a new game sale. Read past the break for our impressions of the Supreme Commander 2 demo on the Xbox 360.

It’s not often that a WiiWare title gets our attention. In fact, aside from the excellent Bit.Trip games, we can’t even remember a time when we were genuinely interested in a WiiWare or DSiWare title. And then along comes Zombie Panic in Wonderland, with its anime-style visuals, cutscenes, 7 playable characters, destructible environments and local [...]

Sony Online Entertainment and Rockin Android have teamed up to bring three new doujin (Japanese term for indie) games to the US Playstation Network. The three games, each part of the Gundemonium Collection trilogy, will release simultaneously but SOE didn’t specify if they’d be in a collection together or available for purchase as separate titles. We did [...]

Downloadable content is slowly becoming more an expectation and less a bonus in terms of sustaining a game post launch. Fallout 3 being a prime example received not one, but five separate instances of DLC and each one went on to be exceptionally successful for seamlessly expanding on the 100+ hour experience of exploring the [...]

Two websites have been stirring things up in the world of iPhone/iTouch/iPad games lately — Openfeint’s Free Game of the Day, and the independent Free App a Day. As the names so obviously suggest, each website highlights a specific app or game for Apple devices each day and sort of “sponsors” it to be free for 24 [...]

With an official title of Calvin Tucker’s Redneck: Farm Animal Racing Tournament, we feel like the jokes about this game really write themselves. With only 5 tracks and 8 racers, we can’t imagine this being a good purchase for anyone. And we do mean anyone. Since we can’t bear to muster up any more words [...]

Steam does a lot of things right. Damn near everything, as far as we’re concerned. But there is one thing that we’d really like to see, even though our common sense tells us that it’s very unlikely — the ability to take a physical copy of a game (CDR, DVD retail copies) and register it [...]

Bits & Bytes is a series of short reviews for short games. As if often the case with iPhone games, PSP Minis and XBL Indies, there’s really not much going on here. That doesn’t make it a bad game (in fact, some of these games are quite incredible), it just means there’s not much for [...]

Music Monday is a weekly feature where we talk about nerdy music, whether it’s chiptune (8-bit or 16-bit tunes), nerdcore hip-hop, or just some song inspired by Shadow of the Colossus. Saturday night in Wichita, Kansas was a good night to be a nerd. Local bar Rock Island Live was packed full of people waiting [...]

Here at TNG, we love zombies. But what we love even more than zombies are games about zombies. Not just video games, but all different types of games. Although board games and other analog games may not be everyone’s cup of BRAINS!!! (sorry, couldn’t help it), you should consider giving them a stab if you’re looking for something undead [...]
