A Tribute to the Box Art of Video Cards

It might be a geek thing, but since I was a teen and started playing with computers I have always admired the box of video cards. They always had some beautiful graphic art. Dragons, knights and other creatures that inspired my fantasies about the games I would play.

Best Online Flash Games: The Last Stand

If you ended up wasting too much time with the previous two games that we covered (Helicopter and Desktop Tower Defense), this one might be the solution. The Last Stand is a cool game don’t get me wrong, and it is very graphically appealing for a flash game, but it is not that challenging.
