Orcs must die! is a tower defense game with a twist, by having a third person or first person viewpoint instead of the traditional top-down view.

How do you like to spend your free time?
There are 24 hours a day, that's what each person gets to spend in a day, no matter rich or poor, beautiful or beauty-challenged, brilliant or less so ... This should make the Equality-Pushers blissful, after all, it is one way we are all equal. BUT, what we do with those hours could and does bring about very different results.

The closest thing I can describe this game to would be Lego on a computer.

“I realized that a game that simple yet that dynamic had a lot of potential to turn into a really great game, and kept coming up with things I wanted to change and stuff I wanted to add.” -Markus Alexej Persson (Creator of the game)

Alfred Mosher Butts (1899 to 1993) is the man behind Scrabble and the story behind the development of the game is inspiring in itself. In 1930s’, the world was in the midst of the Great Depression and Butts was laid off from his job. With time on his hands and a creative mind, he decided to develop an easy to play and family friendly game based on his two key passions; numbers and words.

‘iCheat’, iScam, iKS, iBuyVirtualStuffForRLMoney’

Gaming has always been fun, whether you play it alone or play it with other people. But sometimes, there are those who just play the game to suck the fun out of it. Here are some of the classifications of them.

In Chinese numerology the numbers with "four" are considered unlucky because four sounds like the word for "death". But in the West, the unlucky number is "thirteen" (I believe it's somehow related to witchcraft) but here's a strange little collection of little known facts revolving around "thirteen":

CAVE DRAWINGS are proof that it's in our nature to fill a blank canvas

IN the age of high-speed internet, fast food, instant gratification, and digital photography literally "at your fingertips" in mobile phones and assorted devices, it's a breath of fresh air to be reminded of patient human artistry in something as elemental as drawing and sketching - think CAVE DRAWINGS.

Has anyone NOT seen a postage stamp?

Back in the days before text messaging, email and fax, people sent letters using postage stamps, and children collected those stamps and kept them in purpose-made booklets. This was exciting because it was a way to experience far away places and marvel at the images different countries put on the stamps. Often there would be interesting shapes, animals, flora and fauna introduced on postage stamps.

It's exactly one week after APRIL FOOL'S DAY 2009!

And, we here at iCUBED.us would like to bring you some words of wisdom attributed to people like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, but which were actually written by someone less famous, but ultimately just as worth 'listening' to as the two famous heroes of the tech world!

But before we share those words of wisdom ...

With the launch of Alan Moore's Watchmen, here's a look at one of his earlier works: V for Vendetta.

The graphic novel, and not the film (which I thought was pretty good) that Moore disassociated himself with, refusing his name on the credits.

Set in an alternate universe where much of the world has been destroyed by a nuclear war, the comic book spans over 5 years and 10 issues.

‘Power, power, and more power!’ this is mostly what people think when they play games.

The question is ‘what kind of power?’

An online video game demonstrates how technology has embraced the president-elect

A new online video game called Super Obama World, modeled after Nintendo's Super Mario World, has been developed in honor of the new US president-elect, Barack Obama.

Making the headlines during the last week of June was the story of a band of teenage guys, arrested and charged for a felony robbery that appeared to emulate the fictional crimes of Niko Bellic, the protagonist of the popular game - "Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty City".

The aim of the game series is to steal cars, beat up other characters and commit a variety of crimes.

by TeddyK-18, 30 May 2008

Grand Theft Auto IV's release earlier this month was one of the biggest launches in a long time. Not only were there a bunch of legal concerns surrounding it - like whether it could inspire kids to commit crimes - but there were also technical concerns about whether it could fit onto a DVD; mostly, though, people wondered whether it would live up to the hype of being the first truly next-gen game.

It seems like the video game industry today depends on taking the fewest number of risks that companies can in order to try new things. No one wants to risk a big expensive failure... after all, why change what's not broken and what sells?

Sony has recently announced that it will offer two new system bundles in June for the PSP and PS3.

With the crazy end-of-the-marking-period rush to fit in more grades obsession that teachers have had as of late, it's been hard to fit in time for long, epic RPGs in my schedule. Instead, I've been playing more casual, light-hearted games and watching more anime.

Nowadays it seems everybody is hating on Sony, and coincidentally, a lot people have been posting ridiculous tales of their experience with Sony customer support. One person claimed that he sent a PS3 to Sony to be fixed, but they refused because it was too dusty. Another person claimed that Sony wouldn't fix his PS3 because he voided his warranty by plugging it into a power surge protector. During summer, a website posted a story about Sony holding a God of War promotional party where naked women and slaughtered animals were used as decor. There are probably other incidents that I don't remember.

With the ongoing trend of increased production costs of video game hardware and software, I’ve been wondering if there will be a point at which games will be so expensive to make that the producers will not be able to break any more technical barriers. They would be forced to continue making only PS4 quality games because the money generated by sales would not be enough to cover production costs.

Family Harvesting a Spaghetti Tree (Switzerland 1957)

By Denise Winterman BBC News Magazine

It’s 50 years since Panorama pulled off the most celebrated April Fool’s spoof and duped Britain - and beyond - about spaghetti crops in Switzerland. So what makes a great April Fool’s joke?
