Charity Game Showcase: Resident Evil Zero
by Garret in Games on August 2, 2011
The second game on our list might seem a bit odd at first glance, but stick with us. In trying to find games to add to our list for a marathon about doctors and medical things, we would be remiss to leave out one of gaming’s longest standing battles with a fictional virus. “What virus?” you may ask. Why, the T-virus, of course! And it only makes sense that the main character also be a medic.

Well the game you need to be looking for is called Space Alert.

Mansions of Madness is just good enough to make you hate your friends
by Garret in Games, Reviews on May 3, 2011
What’s the sign of a good board game? Logical mechanics that make sense? Cooperative gameplay? The ability to ruthlessly kill your friends and have them hate you for the rest of your life?
