It’s really amazing how Magic: The Gathering (M:TG) just keeps chugging along, releasing more and more and more cards without ever getting old. There was a time when Wizards of the Coast (WotC) bragged that M:TG had more than 1,000 cards you could use (and I had most of them). Now it’s closer to 10,000, and I can’t even recognize the majority of them by name.

Oh Zynga, have you no shame? Just last week, Zynga was scrutinized over its game Dream Heights because it was obviously heavily inspired by NimbleBit’s Tiny Tower. This week, Buffalo Studios is calling out Zynga for borrowing a little too much from its Facebook game called Bingo Blitz.

After a couple days of waiting, Gameloft’s Android sale is up and running. From now until January 5, all of Gameloft’s titles should be $0.99 in the Android Market. I used the word “should” because some games are still showing up at their original prices. Gameloft will most likely work this out as the day more »

Buying a computer game as a surprise for someone else is a snap: Find something with top reviews, plunk down $50 and you’re set.

Granted, “find something good and give it” works in theory but, when it comes to buying for tabletop gamers, there’s a hidden risk: You might have to actually play the game.

This year’s lineup focuses on stuff that you can be comfortable giving, and you stand a real chance of having fun even if you normally want nothing to do with funny dice games:

We’ve turned you on to one free Android game today, but we’ve come across another one you might be interested in. Gameloft has released a free version of Uno in the Android Market. This is the full game complete with single and multiplayer modes. It has ads, but they’re really no big deal.

A few days ago, a Com2uS’ game called Slice It! was offered for free in the Amazon App Store. The gameplay itself didn’t earn much scrutiny, but the permissions required to install the game did. Slice It! currently needs access to potentially sensitive information stored on phones that a lot of users disapproved of. The most jaw-dropping permission has the game gathering “information about the currently or recently running tasks: a thumbnail representation of the tasks, what activities are running in it, etc.” A simple game shouldn’t need such detailed access to the programs that are running on someone’s phone, so we asked Com2uS for an explanation.

Today is the last day for Steam’s autumn sale. For the past week, Steam has done what it does best by seriously discounting some really good games. Today, Steam isn’t charging over $25 for the featured games on its website. The one that stands out the most to me is Dead Space 2 for a mere $4.99.

Amazon’s free app of the day promotion has been a hit since it debuted. Every day, Amazon offers a different Android app for free. Sometimes the app is a simple $0.99 game, and other times Amazon throws a $14.99 productivity app into the mix. Today’s free app is a game called Slice It! from Com2uS. The game is about slicing increasingly difficult shapes into equal pieces. It sounds like a decent time waster, but concerns have started to arise about this app. Installing and running Slice It! requires giving the game certain permissions some people won’t be comfortable agreeing to.
