I love finding a recipe that sounds like it makes something really delicious. Just reading the list of ingredients makes your mouth water. You can already imagine the taste before you even start preparing anything. I’m getting hungry just writing this.
Sometimes a developer has a great idea for taking great features or ideas from different games to create one Frankenstein-style creation. Many times this doesn’t work but when it does…woah baby.
Uber Entertainment is a new development team formed by a bunch of seasoned vets.

This week we were very lucky and happy to have friend of the show (and real-life friend) Xav de Matos, who has moved up the ranks from BBPS writer, to Joystiqer and now East Coast Editor for Shacknews.com! We’re honestly proud of the bastard. It was great to both catch up and get his unique take on what’s he’s been spending his time on.
We talked about Robert Kirkman’s excellent comic series back in Show #00003 and now you can check out the trailer for AMC’s upcoming small screen adaptation. Between Breaking Bad, Mad Men and now Rubicon, AMC has proven they know how to make some damn good TV. Let’s hope that keeps going.
Browser games are starting to get ridiculous. I’m not talking about Battlefield Heroes, that’s a browser-based launcher that starts a substantially-sized program that’s been previously downloaded. I’m talking about games that are played completely within the browser, no downloads required.
Snail Games USA’s upcoming empire-building RTS MMO (I know, right?) Ministry of War is a hardcore PC gamer’s game that’s played entirely in the browser.
