Cool Kids Voltron Costume
I used to love Voltron as a kid. I never really thought someone would make this into a fancy dress kids costume.

Tetris Gaming Blanket
Im not really too sure if this is a good idea or not, but let us know what you think! Introducing the Tetris Blanket.
Super Frustration Bros.
The year was 1986; an American Italian plumber from New York found himself plunged (no pun intended) into a crazy, fantastic world of side-shuffling mushrooms, mutant man-eating venus flytraps and bottomless pits ready to destroy him at a single false step. Worse than this, the woman he idolised had been kidnapped by a ruthless, horny, giant, firebreathing, axe-tossing tortoise, and his limbs would only move under the remote control of a NES game pad.
Cue perverse level design, runtime flaws, millions of hours of young lives wasted and a whole raft of profanity.
Gamma Bros. – Old School Arcade Action
I am secure. I am content, happy, and even smug. Here is a flash game of such startling excellence that no-one will be able to deny it. If you can’t finish it now, you will come back, if you can’t come back you will weep hot, salty tears at the thought that you have missed out on the glorious satisfaction of shooting the last, laser toting, brain-in-a-jar-in-a-spaceship boss out into the unforgiving vacuum.
Pick either the ginger one or the black one of the presumably adopted Gamma Brothers, let the little worm guys launch your personalised flying saucer from the mothership (why they can’t use the mothership to fight the horde I don’t know), and battle with a swarm of tricky, varied, rewarding enemies. This game has seriously got it all, powerups, boss fights, a great soundtrack, acid-vivid 16 bit colours, and a happy ending: you can even bring your mates back from the dead.
Stunts of Cupidity
Having had a little negative feedback on ‘The Majesty of Colors’ (you know who you are, you philistines) I’ve got a more traditional offering for you to start the week’s distraction. Angelico looks like it’s been ported straight from the Neo Geo – the cartoony graphics and exotic-cheroot vividity of the colours fairly make my palms itch for the feel of a joystick; I hear the tinkle of copper into the tray of the Penny Falls and wonder when I’ll have the courage to face the zombies in Altered Beast again…
Ahem. Where was I? Oh yes – so you’re Eros, or Cupid running your little winged butt off to get everybody together and making a little love before the sun goes down, by shooting them with arrows from your little bow. I was almost convinced by making the mad doctor fall in love with the jiggling nurse, but as so often before, it was the goat that clinched it for me.
The Majesty Of Colors
Something for everyone here – you get to control a hugely betentacled undersea monster, and decide whether to feed plump little boys to the sharks or give them a hug and a balloon and send them back home. Will you crush humanity, make some new friends, or just have a nosebleed? Whatever the case you’ve got to appreciate the artistry of this lovely little 8-bit style gem.
It clicks the link and plays the game or else it gets the hose again…
Bunny Invasion II
How appropriate for this website is this game? It features both bunnies and inappropriate amounts of violence, death and other jollity. Buy guns, upgrades and generally pimp yourself out in the face of a long-eared, twitchy nosed apocalypse.
The Space Game – superbly polished flash game from the Casual Collective
This is one of the best and smoothest RTS games that I’ve seen in a while – reminiscent of Homeworld, if you stripped it down to a tower defence game. You have no mobile units, but build a resource collection and base defence network, all hooked in to your power generation and storage grid. There’s nothing crazily innovative about this game, but it’s such a well executed iteration of this type that it really deserves playing. There are bonus modes available if you register over at the Casual Collective website, and they have some other quite slick looking projects up there. Missile turrets are a good bet until the little yellow ring ships turn up, when you’ll need big lasers… Enjoy!
