Here at Snackbar Games, we’re as interested in news as anyone else, and this week we’ve got more news of the Mass Effect 3 demo.

This week Sony released videos detailing a new way to play ball in MLB 12: The Show, both at the plate and in the field.

And for those who hate change, don’t worry. The trailers show that all the old methods of playing are still intact, just one menu option away.

I’m a big fan of tower defense. Whether towers are upgradeable (Defense Grid: The Awakening), the player participates in the battles (Sanctum, Orcs Must Die), or the game can be played for 15 minutes on a break at work (too many to mention thanks to Internet game sites), I love the genre. Unstoppable Gorg is no exception. The presentation is good, the spin on the typical formula is fun and there’s no shortage of unit types to play with. READ MORE
