Let me reel off a few of games I've been playing lately that you should also play.

Eternity's Child. Seriously, that patch really is a serious game changer from the legendary 1/10 it got from Dtoid. There are also some fantastic user created levels online born from a level design contest ahead of the WiiWare version's release.

Crystal Defenders. I hate tower defense games. I spent nearly 3 hours desperately trying to clear the first W1 map on this game. I didn't succeed, but I'm still determined to do it. Finally a tower defense game I can honestly say I like. Pixeljunk Monsters can fuck right off though.

Worms. It's fucking Worms. What more do I have to say?

Also I'm not a sort-of regular on the Negative Gamer podcast (the NGCast). We talk about games, porn and receding hairlines. In that order.



* - Topher gives us advance warning, he's trying to quit smoking

We're all uncultured bastards.

I'll wait for the WiiWare release.

I put it there because the sheer anger in Mushman's comment is something people need to see. I've never seen him like that before.

Thanks for the recap, man.

Crystal Defenders is pretty addicting, but maddeningly difficult and unforgiving. I'm stuck on the W3 maps, and don't know if I'll ever finish them.

It's incredibly helpful if you check out the DevPlay things, which show you the best way to arrange your shit for the first 15 rounds. Also, you earn a bonus for crystals remaining at the end of the round and how much money you have left over, so it's better to save money sometimes.

Another thing is that it's way better to have a handful of defenders upgraded a few levels than a million guys at level 1. The upgraded guys do considerably more damage. Also, in W2 when you use crystals, their effects stack for the units in their range, so build multiple crystals for each group of dudes.

I hope this helps, I had to find this stuff out the hard way.
