Which “old school” games do you like the best?

Had an interesting conversation at lunch yesterday. The lads and I got onto the subject of gaming. This was brought on by Microsoft all but dropping PC gaming, but now they’re back-pedaling and saying PC gaming will get their full attention. This coincides with Age of Empire Online and Microsoft Flight. As a side note I think its crap that Microsoft shuts down Ensemble Studios (makers of AoE) then turns around and makes an online version. But I digress. Anyway, we began talking all sorts of modern day games like Starcraft II, Borderlands, Crackdown, etc. Then we got onto the topic of which games from the past did we like the best and which ones did we waste the most amount of time on. Ultima was immediately one of my choices. I loved this series. I played Ultima II on an old Apple ][ and a Commodore 64 (yeah, that’s how old I am). I played Ultima 3 on the […]

Intel Acquires McAfee For $7.68 Billion??? WTF??

First off, McAfee just isn’t worth this much cash. Second, what the hell is Intel going to do with the assets? I’m not a fan of McAfee and never have been. Quite frankly I think they’re software is crap. I’ve had it installed with just about every machine I’ve bought and it’s a pain in the ass to remove. Not only that, they use scare tactics to get people to buy the subscription. Plus, the software is rubbish. It actually acts like a virus and I’ve had it miss more problems than it’s caught. There are far better solutions on the market than them. But seriously, 7 BILLION dollars? How is Intel ever going to recoup that investment? They must have some bold new strategy they’re getting ready to unleash. I suppose they could just be trying to diversify their assets, but this is a huge stockpile of cash, you don’t normally just drop sacks full of money like that […]

Zombie Escape, now ready for download and 99 cents

Who can resist Zombies? And who can resist a good game for 99 cents? And here they are together! I remember hearing about this game several months ago and thought it looked pretty good. Well, they’ve finally got it in the app store and my copy is already downloaded. Looks like there is plenty of action and gore to go around, and losing a few people to the zombie horde might be part of the overall strategy. Check out these screen shots and a trailer for what it looks like. Plus, there is a review from Touch Arcade and they seem very pleased with the game. I’m in the spirit for zombie fun, who’s with me? Look at the carnage!!

Need some free data recovery software? Well, today is your lucky day. O&O Software, makers of dozens of disk utilities, is giving away a free copy of their UnErase 6.0. This is the latest version too, not something from 3 or 4 revs back. It sucks when you accidently delete the wrong file and O&O can help get it back. I have the previous UnErase version and I just downloaded this new version. Simply fill out the form on this page and get a free license key: Offer good until Aug 24th.

More Gameloft titles on sale for this Friday the 13th. N.O.V.A. – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance HD is on sale for $0.99. And make note, this is the iPad HD version.

Still a good deal though!!
