Anomaly: Warzone Earth now free to PS Plus subscribers
PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting Anomaly: Warzone Earth for free this week! It's described as a action strategy tower offense game, which is kind of hard to imagine so good thing there's a trailer. Actually, even based on the trailer I wasn't really all that interested in playing the game. That is until I dug up our review where we gave it a 9 out of the 10. That's a great score, considering it was Maurice Tan at the time who reviewed the game. Maurice is a pretty critical guy, so him liking anything was a big deal. Unfortunately, Maurice is dead now. Wait, what's that? OH! He's working on the Dead Island franchise now. Sorry, I got confused there for a second. [Pssshhh: I just saw the PlayStation Twitter promote this Amazon deal for a 320GB PlayStation 3 with a year membership to PlayStation Plus for $249.99. That's a great deal. You won't even need to buy a game with all the free games you'll get instant access to!] Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth is quite an interesting game with its unique "anti tower defense" sort of formula which basically turns the genre the other way around and has the player attack bases instead of defending them. Th...more

Even though the tower defense genre has grown stale over the years, some developers understand that there's still some life in the genre if you play around with the formula. On the one hand, you have a game like Sanctum that ...more
| 5:00 PM on 05.23.2013 Review: Might & Magic Heroes VI: Shades of Darkness |
I like the Heroes of Might & Magic series, but it has never been perfect. It's a very niche set of games that aren't quite role-playing titles or full-fledged strategy games. They are almost their own weird hybrid ge...more
