As you can probably tell by the name, Elven Chronicles is all medieval with swords and dragons and spells and all that. It’s an RPG, and if you’re a big enough nerd to automatically know that an RPG is a role-playing game then this is may be something you could sink your teeth into. People who [...]

Call me crazy, but internet radio is pretty much the same no matter where you’re getting it. The content, that is… it’s the same! With the exception of apps like Pandora and Boombox that let you personalize your own “station”, straight-up internet radio is always just internet radio.  There’s a gazillion internet radio stations out [...]

StuntCopter from nerdgames is basically a direct port of a classic Mac game from 1987 by Duane Blehm (who passed away some years ago).  The gameplay consists of flying a copter around with a stuntman hanging from the skids.  Your job is to drop him at the right moment so he lands on a passing horse-drawn [...]
