I could more easily forgive Duke Nukem Forever’s shortcomings if the developers had the guts to let them be the humor. But rather, they try to draw comedy by making fun of their (mostly superior) competition, and ultimately making fun of us, as if Duke alone is above their (and our) scorn. And yet, Duke himself is the reason why this game doesn’t work. He’s not funny, he’s not annoying, and the game eventually works its way there, too.

The Mac’s growing market share has attracted game designers to the Mac, too, and none more prominent than Valve, who not only brought many of their own games, but their Steam delivery system to Intel systems running OS X as well. Steam lets you purchase and download games as digital downloads, but more importantly for the holiday season, lets you give them as gifts.

Bullet Candy Perfect is a 2D based shooter game with 3D graphics involved in the gameplay. The developer is only asking that you donate anything greater than $1 to help support it, which is pretty generous considering the amount of time I’m sure was put into it. And while the gameplay certainly has a lot of facets to it, it wasn’t exactly what I was expecting.
