SLACKERJACK – Windosill
Windosill is both preposterously beautiful and maddening, like a beautiful woman who is also maddening. But in computer form. All Windosill asks you to do is get a little cart through a series of doors. But to open the doors you need to find a little cube, and to find the little cube you have to interact with ...
SLACKERJACK – Ivan Drago
Yes. YES. This is an online game about Ivan Drago from Rocky IV, and that’s all kinds of YES. Oh God in heaven, this is so fantastic it might just make us fart. The game involves Ivan Drago, embittered that he lost to Rocky at the end of Rocky IV, taking his revenge on America as ...
SLACKERJACK – The Kitten Game
Oh, it’s a game called The Kitten Game! How adorable! Oh, we love kittens so much! Does kitten want a cuddle? Does kitten want a cuddly wuddly wuddle? No, apparently not. What kitten actually wants is to have the top of his head sliced off by an unthinking maniac on their lunchbreak (that’s you). Because that’s what The Kitten Game is - ...
SLACKERJACK – Crush The Castle Players Pack
Oh goody, it’s a players pack. How we love players packs. If anything, it’s our favourite part of the online game experience - first you play a game and love it, then you play the sequel and love it, and then the game gets handed over to a small army ...
SLACKERJACK – Flashcat
We know, we know, as seminal and outright brilliant as Wipeout was, there was one thing desperately wrong with it - there weren’t enough cats. Luckily Flashcat rectifies this. Flashcat is just that - Wipeout with cats. And no other racers. And, look, not many other things in common either. But shut up, right, because Flashcat is terrific. ...
SLACKERJACK: Warfare 1944
True story, when we saw that Warfare 1944 had been released, we took a large and slightly girlish intake of air. Because we knew what it meant. We remembered Warfare 1917, which to this day stands up as one of the best online games ever made. And then we realised that by 1944 people had invented ...
SLACKERJACK – Bomberman
Of course, in these paranoid, suspicious times, the once revered Bomberman now carries rather more political connotations. Is he a terrorist? Is he working for Osama Bin Laden? Why exactly is he bombing stuff? Time was when we wouldn't be so damning of this cheerfully destructive chap. Look! He's blowing stuff up! Funny little maniac. And the great news is that fans of Bomberman can now play online. All you need are arrow keys on your keyboard, and a sharp mind, capable of solving puzzles. Just try not to get yourself stuck behind one of your own bombs. We can categorically state that your little pixelated hero won't find himself pleasuring a mob of vestal virgins.
SLACKERJACK – Scope: First Blood
Everyone loves a good old-fashioned stick-figure sniper game, don’t they? Because snipers are cool and stick figures are... um, look we don’t know where we’re going with this. Anyway, Scope: First Blood is a stick figure sniper game... WITH A DIFFERENCE. Actually, we’re overselling it - you still have to shoot things in Scope: First Blood, it’s just that they’re not always ...
