So, President’s Day seems as good an excuse to drop the price of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to 99 cents. That’s one metal Lincoln less than a paper Washington! Yea, for American history. Now, let’s go kill some hookers.

Space: the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Rovio franchise. Their three year mission: to destroy strange pig forts, to seek out new life and new bird variations, to boldly go where no birds have gone before.
Rovio’s announced a March 22nd release date for the next game in their wildly popular franchise, Angry Birds Space! I don’t know if that exclamation is part of the title. I hope not. I have enough trouble yelling Paladog! Here’s the post from their blog:
Apple’s 25,000,000,000th App Contest
February 18th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
Do you like money? Sure, we all do.
How’s a $10,000 iTunes gift card sound to you? Pretty good, right? All you have to do to win is download app number 25,000,000,000 and it’s all yours. Simple as that.
Pfft. You may as well give up now, folks. This one’s mine. I download apps, like, all the time. I’m pretty certain I’m the only person in the world who does, too.
Apple must not be doing too well financially because the last time they ran a contest, the winner received a $10,000 gift card, a MacBook Pro, an iPod Touch, AND a Time Capsule. Tim Cook is just running the place into the ground.
Find more information, an inaccurate download counter, and an alternative registration form over on Apple’s official contest page. Hopefully, it’s not over already.
Is this racist? (Dream Heights edition)
February 17th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
I’ll be honest, I have no way of verifying this other than to download the game, but this is supposedly a collection from Zynga’s Dream Heights. Just a quick look at this tells me that the story of Latino Love in their eyes is salsa dancing, accidental pregnancy with contested paternity, and a shotgun wedding afterwards. Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions. Maybe I’m the racist. I doubt it, though.
Zynga seems to be going out of their way to make the internet hate them as of late.

Dear internet, enough PS Vita games are out early crap
February 16th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
Listen up, nerds. Penny Arcade isn’t the first place I’ve seen people take a stab at the PlayStation Vita for releasing the games a week prior to the system. I’m old enough to remember a time when another portable system had games out a week in advance of the actual system launch.
You may have heard of it.

Review: Beat Hazard Ultra (iOS)
February 16th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
XBLIG is home to more than its fair share of dual-stick shooters. You know, because Geometry Wars and its sequel weren’t enough. However, Beat Hazard by Cold Beam Games came with a gimmick. Your music became the levels. It’s amazing how this simple concept, really nothing more than an interactive music visualizer, took something tired and made it into something new. It was like Vib Ribbon, minus all the quirkiness.
If there was one thing that made me salty about Beat Hazard, it was that I wasn’t earning any achievements. It’s been a couple of years since I spent any serious time with Beat Hazard, one of the gems of the Xbox Live Indie Games channel, but there was little hesitation when I saw this port pop up in the App Store last week.

Zynga releases Dream Heights update, nerds go negative
February 15th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
So… yeah… Dream Heights. Zynga. Copycat. Bitch, whine, moan… yadda yadda yadda, the game saw release regardless. You surely know the story (and possibly my ill-sighted, unsupported petition) of how Zynga saw Apple’s iOS Game of the Year and said, “We can re-build it.” If not, well, here you go.
Being Wednesday, that means it’s time for App Store updates. Zynga released an update for Dream Heights. It did not go well.
