Choke on My Groundhog, You Bastard Robots

Looking at Choke on My Groundhog, You Bastard Robots (COMGYBR for short), it's hard not to see that it's a relatively simple yet entertaining game. Inspired by Robotron, you are tasked to fend yourself and world from robots that have taken over the world. There are no mush storylines involved in the game. The main point is for you to fight off the approaching robots from all four corners of the page and simply to survive. It's definitely a fun and straightforward game perfect for letting some steam out.

Nikoo: EP

Nikoo is noise. If you love noise pop with verses and choruses sung in chants, then this is the album you've been waiting for. Nikoo is a Dutch band that loves their pop music but only a wee bit louder, okay, much louder. Infused with dirty guitars, drawling vocals and great pop hooks and melodies; this EP certainly makes a good introduction for the band. Definitely not bad for an EP that was recorded in just three nights. Take a listen.

Cut It

Back in the day, physics based gamea were sparse and hardly available. However, today, it's almost everywhere and there are tons of physics based games that are fun to play. Take for instance, Cut It. It comes from the same makers of Crayon Physics and utilizes the same physics based principle as the latter. The only difference is that you use scissors to cut up blocks and get the white box to hit the green platform. Definitely a fun and intriguing small game.
