kirby cake

Gamedae supporter Corrie recently sent in some pictures from her daughter's birthday cake that I have to share. This is one of the biggest pink balls of cake I've surely seen. Thanks for sharing, Corrie, we love to see stuff like this. See the making of pictures and story below.

grand theft auto III 10th anniversary edition

PLATFORM: iPad

RELEASE DATE: 12/2011

PUBLISHER: Rockstar Games

RATING: 17+

One of the best selling games of all time, re-released for iPad for only $4.99, what a steal! Without hesitation I had to pick this up, if only to see how they translated the PS2's controls over to the touch screen of the iPad.

temple run

PLATFORM: iPhone

RELEASE DATE: 12/2011

PUBLISHER: Imangi Studios

RATING: 9+

Highest Score: 242,144 (as of posting)

I’m not going to break any news with this post. Sadly, I discovered this game after seeing dozens of fellow straphangers playing it on their phones. It was a 10(ish) year-old kid that I just had to ask. “What game is that?” Temple Run he said. Soon as I came up from the subway I downloaded it and started playing. Quickly, I discovered the secret to this game app’s addictive popularity: It’s free.

netflix instant queue top picks

During my recent hiatus from the blog I (finally) found enough Netflix recommendations to warrant a post. I'm happy to see newer movies joining the Netflix arsenal sooner. However last year also brings the end to the Starz movies. Luckily that sad information has nothing to do with the movies I've selected for your viewing. Below you'll find my usual recommended dosage of monsters, jokes and even the occasional slayer sighting. Go, stream, now.

fara

PLATFORM: iPHONE

RELEASE DATE: 10/2011
PUBLISHER: Pixel and Texel
RATING: 12+
Progress: Halfway

This app is a witty, little role playing game (RPG) game I picked up during a promotional free download. Fara is just the kind of light-hearted easy to play game I was looking for on my iPhone. The story in this RPG doesn't require franchise knowledge and a deep imagination, in fact, it doesn't take itself too seriously at all and even jokes about the user; breaking that forth wall in some comedic ways.
