Will Apple approve Smuggle Truck?
Billed as “The Premiere smuggling game on the App Store”, Owlchemy Labs’ upcoming Smuggle Truck looks on the surface to be a very well made and cool looking physics-oriented driving game. Of course, looks aren’t everything, and some Mexican Americans are apparently up in brazos over the game a full two months before its slated release date. Why? Well, as... Read More
Upcoming Defenders of Ardania appears to kick ass
I’m not usually one to post news of an upcoming game I’ve never played, but Paradox Interactive’s Defenders of Ardania looks like it will be one hell of a Tower Defense game, which as long-time readers know, is my gaming genre of choice. The title is allegedly set for a multi-platform launch, which will include Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, PC, and the... Read More
Games that don’t suck: Gravity Guy
GAMES THAT DON’T SUCK is a feature dedicated to games that I think are well worth your hard earned money, but not worth me sitting down and spending 3 hours crafting an in-depth review (these things are 99¢ after all). However, you can rest assured that any game bearing Macenstein’s GTDS rating is worth buying, sight unseen, based solely on my expert opinion. Gravity... Read More
This will probably make those birds even ANGRIER…
From China, the land of all things awesome and plagiarized , comes this pretty sweet looking Angry Birds arcade booth, complete with real life catapult! . The object is to knock down all the small plush Pigs with the giant Angry Birds plush, all the while looking over your shoulder for the strong arm of China’s copyright enforcement police. Of course, I kid, there is no such... Read More

Awww… A 2 year old girl plays Fruit Ninja better than I do
Pocket God’s “Double Rainbow” update is the greatest milestone in iPhone history
If you own an iPhone, odds are by this point, you either own Pocket God or have long ago decided it was so stupid that you would NEVER buy it and anyone who did is an idiot. Well, if you’re open to listening to the opinion of an idiot, I must wholeheartedly recommend you pick up Pocket God, if for no other reason than the latest update, entitled “Double Rainbow All...

Aspyr announces I’m getting Civilzation 5 for Christmas
This isn’t really a news item so much as me using Macenstein to subtly tell the Bride of Macenstein what I expect her to get me for Christmas this year. And really, it’s a win win for my entire family, as traditionally I am not seen for about 3 months after getting a new Civilization title. Read More
Imaginary GameBone Gamepad adds support for iPhone 4
22Moo, the Australian company that has threatened to one day release their GameBone Gamepad for the iPhone (for the past 700 days or so) has just announced that they have added iPhone 4 support to their mythological device.

[UPDATED] Words with Friends tech support appears to suck
[UPDATE: They fixed my games] 🙂 Public embarrassment and ridicule – the last hope of a desperate man. Many of my faithful readers know that I am a self-confessed “Words with Friends addict, having given the game my first and only “10 out of 10” review for a game.
