Cowboys Vs Zombies – $0.99

The most innovative 3D tower defense game of the year! Defend the town of UnDeadwood in this hilarious slapstick horror game with a western twist. As the new Sheriff in charge of defending the town, hire a wild posse of Cowboys and Cowgirls for your fight against the undead hordes. Upgrade and reposition them to defend against wave after wave of zombies who are hell bent on destroying the town. Unlike most tower defense games, you need to protect your cowboys from attack by positioning them on rooftops. However, the Zombies destroy the buildings, diminishing the safe places you can choose to place Cowboys on. You will have to choose when to repair a building and when to abandon a building and fall back to a better position. If the zombies destroy all of buildings, they will come after the Sheriff and you lose. Meet the Posse: Pistol Packin Cowboys – these young, dumb, sons-of-guns are your basic gun for […]

Ballmer is asleep at the switch

Steve Ballmer just doesn’t get it. And what he doesn’t get is that a tablet is not just another PC form factor. They aren’t supposed to work like a desktop PC, they shouldn’t have the same feature set as a desktop PC , they must have better battery life and a slew of other features that make them completely different. It’s not just a form factor issue, it’s about giving a completely different and simplified user experience. An article I pointed out previously sums it up best – people don’t want to think about installing software and loading drivers and making sure the app they buy is compatible with their system. They have no want to worry about the underlying system, they want to just click and go, something Windows is notoriously unable to provide to people. The fact that Ballmer and his lackies keep trying to reuse and recycle Windows for every project that hits the market proves they […]

They’re calling for his head!

I will state pretty clearly that I think Ballmer has cocked up Microsoft pretty badly over the past few years. More projects have been butchered while under his guidance than in all the previous years. And when it comes to forward thinking and what Microsoft needs to do, under Steve’s guidance they’ve been playing catch up and in many cases have fallen so far behind they’re just better off giving up. And clearly I’m not the only one. Give this article a read and let me know what you think the future of Microsoft and Steve’s roll in it will be. Steve Ballmer has one more chance to save his job Personally I think Steve should step down. He just wants to work on what he personally understands not what the market actually wants. He thinks netbooks are a joke and that bit him in the ass. He thinks tablets are a waste of time (even though they have been […]
