I can't stop playing these bloody Tower Defence games. One side of my family had a reunion at my parent's house in the Blue Mountains and I managed to spend half of it playing Onslaught!! Now I try my best to deliver a message that gaming nerds like myself aren't anti-social cretins but TD games really don't help with destroying that stereotype at all!!

Sagacious Tien commented on my last post that I should try out Desktop Tower Defence and stupidly I did. Saga you just made "The List"

It doesn't have the crazy graphics and loads of combos that Onslaught has, but it combines a good range of weapons and upgrades with the strategy of maze building. Another superb TD game which you can find HERE

The guys at MyGen have launched an awesome new tool that allows you to design your own gamercard for use on Facebook, MySpace, blogs, websites and the like. I have NO artistic ability whatsoever so I'm going to borrow one but there are hundreds of awesome ones to choose from. Head to http://gcdesigner.mygen.com.au to have a look for yourself! What an awesome tool!!!

Well that wasn't the best game of football I've ever seen but with an awesome crowd, loads of drama and a close result made for a great spectacle in the A-League Grand Final. I don't think we've heard the last of the last minute dramas either as while writing this, Fox Sports News has just reported that Mariners 'keeper Danny Vukovic has been charged with Violent Conduct - Striking an Official which carries a maximum penalty of a life ban. Plenty of drama to follow in the days ahead I think.

6th June 2008 is a day to mark down on your calendar right now if you're a strategy gamer, as 2K Games have announced that Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution will be launched in Australia and New Zealand that day. I know many people who are absolutely salivating over this game (myself included) so lets start the countdown with some multiplayer Civ II in the near future! You can get all four Civ PC games in the Civilization Chronicles box set at your local retailer, which is a must buy for anyone who enjoys strategy gaming.

I spent some more time getting the MAME Cave ready by building the PC and getting the table required. All I need it to pick up the CRT monitors during the week and we'll be ready to go. Look forward to the pics and video later in the week
