by Jeremy Hill on Nov 14, 2008 at 09:37 PM

ValveAs many zombie hunters know by now, Left 4 Dead is coming out on November 18, 2008. It’s made by Valve who has an impressive resume stemming back to the days of the original Half-Life and Counter-Strike.

If you may have missed out on the classics or every Valve game in general, now’s your chance to make up for it. Valve is offering every single game the company has ever made in one $99 package only on Steam.

Whack the Dead (not the moles) on your iPhone, Mac and PC

Whack the Dead screenPeople familiar with mole whacking games may initially have trouble with Phelios’ Whack the Dead, since moles, zombies and people will pop up from the holes. The goal in the new iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac and Windows game is to whack zombies who pop up from the graves for points. To trip players up though, moles and normal humans may also pop up from the holes.

Depending on which version you choose, Whack the Dead may even be free. The iPhone and iPod Touch version of the game (available through the iTunes App Store) costs $2.99. The Mac and Windows versions, however, are available as free downloads through the I Play Phone Games site. Its a good marketing idea - test the game for free, and if people like it, they’ll buy it…

The promotion started…

by NEWS on Aug 21, 2008 at 06:15 PM

FROM APPLETELL - With the release of The Movies: Stunts and Effects, your films can now be even cooler. Well, provided you feel that stunts and effects are cool to begin with. The romantic comedy types may not need this, but those who share my belief that every single movie ever made could’ve been enhanced with a prolonged sword fighting skeleton scene (especially all those Jennifer Lopez movies that weren’t called The Cell) will find plenty to enjoy here… MORE »

In the slew of iPhone games being announced this week, Majic Jungle has tossed in Chopper. Previously released as a downloadable Mac app, the game is available for $7.99 through the Apple App Store.

Chopper is a side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a helicopter through 60 levels of tanks and other ground-to-air attacks while flying over various terrains. You save civilians and return to base (Choplifter anyone?) The company has also extended a limited-time free demo to try before you buy (.ZIP, 3.4 MB), but you need Mac OS X 10.5 or better to play.

The Shareware version of Chopper 1.2.1 for Mac ($15 registration) features more levels, surround sound and other niceties.
