Adding the word ‘ninja’ before something is a guaranteed way to transform the mundane into the badass, and we’re pleased to see that the good folks over at Wolfire Games agree with us, being all set to launch the ninja-rabbit fighting game, Overgrowth. Also adding known-martial-arts-experts wolves, rats, cats and dogs to the bloody mix, they’ve just upped the first episode of an online comic to help stoke hype for the title – check it out here.

If you like Guitar Hero and Rock Band then Rhythm Heaven for the recently-released Nintendo DSi is going to blow your damn mind. Known in Japan as Rhythm Tengoku Gold and in Europe as Rhythm Paradise, Rhythm Heaven is a musically inclined gamer’s dream, using taps, flicks, holds and slides with the stylus (or your finger) to perform a wide variety of mini-game “tasks,” such as filling up robots with fuel or playing ping pong, all done in-sync with the music. If you get too much off the beat or miss beats entirely, you lose. (more…)

The classic first-person-shooter, id Software’s Wolfenstein 3D, is back and bad as hell… on the iPhone! I must say, it’s pretty F’ing awesome. Now, I understand that you might think it weird, at best, to play this game entirely on a touch screen – I did. But after a bit of good, ol’ fashioned Nazi-killing on my 3G, the smooth controls make game-play seamless. Plus, they give you four different options for controls, along with sensitivity adjustments. So no matter how you like to gun down some SS sons-of-bitches, you’ll do it with ease on this app. (more…)

When one thinks of carnies, what springs to mind is missing teeth, crystal meth, small hands, and the smell of cabbage. These are stereotypes. Like old west outlaws, their freewheeling, nomadic lifestyle—moving from town-to-town—lends itself to a life wholly outside of mainstream society, speaking a language entirely all their own, in a world filled with hardened, scary, scary people.
But I went undercover and became a carny at the 162 Gibson County Fairgrounds in rural Indiana, where not only did I sleep in a trailer behind the Tilt-a-Whirl, but I also learned secrets to the legendary carnie games!
CARNY TIP: In the Basketball game, the balls are over-inflated, and neither the ball nor the hoop is regulation size. Forget shooting off the backboard or rim; the key is to drop the ball straight down in an alley-oop shot
CARNY TIP: The key to knocking over the milk jugs with a baseball is to try and hit it at the base of the bottom two, and not where the three jugs intersect.
CARNY TIP: How hard could it be to pop a balloon with a dart? The darts are dull and the balloons are so limp they barely holding their shape. Arc the dart so that it hits the board on a steep downward trajectory, thus using the weight of the dart to pop the balloon.
CARNY TIP: To win at the Ring Toss Game, snap your wrist as you throw the ring to achieve the most spin possible, this will stabilize the ring making it easier to land cleanly on your target.
CARNI TIP: The highly insular nature of carny society has fostered popular suspicions of inbreeding, supposedly manifested by a tendency towards small hands or thumbs.

Mark Twain once said that “golf is a good walk spoiled.”
We here at COED wonder what he would have thought of Bar Golf. One thing is for sure: it would have been tough to play on a riverboat.
Here’s how you play.
In Bar Golf, holes are represented by bars. Nine holes is standard, but you can play a full round of 18 holes if you are a bad-a**, or Irish.
Each player gets a scorecard just like the regular game of golf. At each bar, every player gets a beer (or whatever pre-arranged drink you like), and has to drink it in as few tries as possible. Then you record the number of tries as your score.
If you can chug a beer in one shot, you got yourself a hole-in-one, and probably a wet shirt. The player with the lowest total score at the end is the winner.
You also can introduce penalties as follows:
The water hazard: Any spilled drink incurs a one-shot penalty.
Bunker shot: Any trips to the bathroom incur a one-shot penalty.
In the rough: Any puking incurs a two-shot penalty.
And if some players in your group are not heavy drinkers, give them a handicap like not counting the first gulp. It’s truly, a gentleman’s game.

Okay, so a monk walks into a Best Buy. This isn’t a joke.
He buys three CDs, eight movies, two computer games, Adobe Illustrator CS3, the entire X-Files series, Microsoft Office Professional, and Rosetta Stone v3, so he can learn Swahili to communicate with his half-sister. The cost of all that? Easily over $2,500. Two weeks ago he bought Autodesk Maya Unlimited for his son who just got into graphic design–that was over $5,000.
Well guess what? He could have gotten all that in about two days or less for free. It’s all about the torrents–transferable pieces of data (like on Limewire, kids) that anyone with a computer and the Internet can access, click on, and wait for a few hours (or even minutes) to download. Literally type, click, and wait. Music, games, movies, applications, books, porn–you name it, it’s there. For free.
Now. What is wrong with this picture? You tell me. Limewire’s legal. uTorrent’s legal. Azureus is legal. Think about it for a minute. I could get all those things in an hour or two while I go to the gym or go to school or sleep. When I get back: TADA! (more…)

Stuck at the office with nothing to do? Or maybe you had to mail your XBOX360 in for repairs and it’s raining? Or maybe you’re really hung over and the sun’s rays feel like stabbing needles.
Here are 5 web-based games that will run on (almost) any computer.
The Last Stand & The Last Stand 2
Two great games to get us started here based around a familiar but important scenario: the coming (oh, it’s coming) zombie apocalypse. This clicking shooter has some fun RPG elements. It puts you in the character of a lone survivor, who must defend his barricade from the oncoming zombie hordes. (more…)
