Remember when Web Watch brought you ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED and how much fun you had with unlocking all those achievements in that game?
Well, we’re back with another game called TINY CASTLE, which is reminiscent of the classic MINER 2049er or DARK CASTLE updated for a new era.
Web Watch is a big fan of the classic video games that populated arcades back in the 80’s and early 90’s.
Not like today’s gaming arenas, filled with craptastic ticket-dispensing machines that teach kids different variations of gambling in order to “earn” enough tickets to buy a lousy stuffed animal that would have cost half as much if purchased directly from the local Toys R Us.
No, we’re talking the classic quarter-munching games like Galaga, Ms Pac Man, Defender, i-Robot, Dig Dug, Robotron, and others from the best game years.
Laugh all you want, Nintendo-boy. We liked our games simple, with a single joystick and maybe two buttons. Cheesy audio and bad graphics were state-of-the-art at the time… and you still felt as if you got your quarter’s worth every time you played.

Can you name the MOST PLAYED VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME?
It’s not MS PAC MAN.
It’s not TETRIS.
It’s not even Microsoft Windows’ SOLITAIRE card game (although that one should qualify as the most played video game in the office environment).

Sometimes, all you want to do is climb into a heavy-duty tank and blow up someone else up in a massive game of capture-the-flag.
That’s just what you do in MINIONS ON ICE, one of the many games from David Scott and the CREATIVE COLLECTIVE, the creators of DESKTOP TOWER DEFENSE.
Yeah, that’s right. David Scott is one of the masterminds behind Creative Collective, and he’s the guy who practically invented the Tower Defense genre that has killed so much of our free time with games such as Flash Element TD or variations from other developers like GEMCRAFT Chapter Zero.
What we’re trying to say here is that this is the gaming site behind one of the forces behind the casual gaming movement. Web Watch wouldn’t steer you wrong on this. Trust us – this stuff is good.
(Which reminds Web Watch – there’s a new version of DESKTOP TOWER DEFENSE available for Facebook users, with weekly updated maps. Thought you’d want to know.)
Remember the old school basketball video game ONE ON ONE (Larry Bird vs Dr J)?
How about trying to play the same game of one-on-one, but with thousands of people from around the world?

Growing up in the 80’s, having a Atari home video game console was as much of a status symbol as having a PS3 with the full Rock Band setup was a year ago (now, not as much since everyone seems to have it by now).
But as we’ve gotten older, we’ve lost the power cords and couldn’t find the replacement Atari 2600 joysticks that we had set aside in case of emergencies such as this.
This is why Web Watch is thrilled that Atari has taken it upon themselves to open their free online ATARI ARCADE website, featuring the best of their original games just for you.

These days, parents have a hard time keeping track of what is good for their kids, or what their kids should avoid – if only due to the sheer amount of content that parents need to stay up with.
Did any of the parents who brought their young kids to a free concert in Central Park last week know what to expect when Green Day took the stage? The concert was sponsored by ABC’s Good Morning America and Walgreen’s, so nothing offensive was going to happen, right?
Watching that clip, you can see the parents with their kids happily singing along to every curse word used in the song. But I’m sure there were some families in the crowd that did not expect a TV morning show concert to contain profanity.
