There were a couple "guy friendly" casual releases this week, including Empires and Dungeons 2 and Alien Hallway. I played them both and Alien Hallway was easily the most fun to play. Empires of Dungeons 2 was a little underwhelming - I was hoping the dungeon crawl aspect would be more sophisticated, more like the game FATE, but instead it is just text-based with static graphics. I would rate this game a 2 out of 5. Alien Hallway, however, was an interesting twist on the shoot-em up genre. The game is sort of 2.5D if that's a term, and you create different classes of shooters based on the amount of resources you have. It's like a tower defense game but you are on offense as well. Despite the bad grammar and comical misspellings, the game was a lot of fun to play.
