Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. This time around we're looking at Bullet Candy Perfect by Charlie's Games, and PlayFirst's Avenue Flo. Both of these games are entertaining in their own ways, and one of them even has its own song! Who, what, where, when, why? Find out after the jump!

Yeah, yeah we feel you . . . you can't seem to take a couple of steps nowadays before you run into yet another zombie-themed game announcement. However at least this latest reveal has some hints of originality. Zombie Driver is a top down vehicle based arcade action game where you control heavily armed cars against the undead.

Developed by Exor Studios, the game is supposed to feature players fighting off the hordes of the creepy crawlies in a free roaming city. Look for 17 different missions, six different vehicles, lots of upgrades and weapons (rail guns, machine guns, flame throwers and the like) and more. You can check out a YouTube video of the game in action after the jump which showcases the game's graphics and its PhysX-supported interactive environments. Look for the game to be made available via digital download sometime in November.

GameTap's regular weekly update to their PC game download/subscription service has an interesting new addition this week. It's Rayman Raving Rabbids, the 2006 released PC version of Ubisoft's collection of mini-games that actually found a bigger audience when it was a Wii launch title. The PC version is GameTap's newest game for its premimum month subscribers.

In addition, GameTap has give its free users another new game to play with from now until October 7. It's Sacrifice, the unusual RTS game from the now defunct Shiny Interactive and publisher Interplay. If you want more info about this classic game check out Big Download's recent Boot Disk article on Sacrifice.

Welcome to another thrilling installment of Mac Monday, the soup that eats like a meal. This time around we're looking at Simone Bevilacqua's BOH and Charlie Dog Games's Cuba Letra. And although we love all our babies equally, one of these two games provided me surprisingly more entertainment than the other. Which one? Read on to find out!

Dejobaan have been making games for a while now, and all of their games share the same surreal, vectorized style, with the possible exception of The Wonderful End of the World. They know how to make games that are just plain fun, but also incredibly confusing. That's how we like it, and their latest game is no different. Titled AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, it has two things going for it right off the bat: the fact that it is made by Dejobaan, and the incredibly confusing and possibly filepath destroying name. For simplicity's sake, I will refer to it as Aaaaa! for the rest of this article, as it is significantly more readable.

Check it out, Monday has arrived once again, and with it, another two-fer for you Mac gamers out there. This time around, we're looking at Crystal Cave Classic by Rake In Grass, and Awem Studio's Romance of Rome. Hop in, the water's fine!

Yet another classic game franchise that was consumed by the Activision Blizzard merger has found a new home. This time its the Red Baron flying action game series that has been bought by indie game developer Mad Otter Games. The studio was founded by Damon Slye, who co-founded Dynamix and helped to create the Red Baron series while at that now defunct developer. He got out of game development for a while but just recently got back into making games with Mad Otter.

Mad Otter has not yet announced any plans for new games in the series but is giving $1,500 to the first person who can turn in the original source code for Red Baron, Red Baron II, and Red Baron 3D.

Welcome to another thrilling edition of Mac Monday, where we alert you to some Macintosh-related gaming fun (potentially; your mileage may vary). This time around we're taking looks at Mad Skills Motocross and Monopoly Build-a-lot Edition. Which is more awesome? Can they even compare to each other? Find out after the jump!

Sometimes you come across info about a game that you may not have heard of before but makes you sit up and take notice. Today is such a day when we were informed of a new arcade-style flying action game with some great looking graphics called (what else?) DogFighter.

The game is being developed by Ireland-based Dark Water Studios for both the PC and Xbox 360. The game world is a little like Crimson Skies; it's based on flying WWI biplanes but they have weapons like Hunter Missiles and Tesla Coils. You can fly these biplanes through a variety of settings, including deserts, mountain tops and even down underground in mining shafts. In addition to single player DogFighter is supposed to have multiplayer modes like Deathmatch, Race and Nemesis. The game is reportedly almost done and the developer is looking to release DogFighter before the end of the year.

On a related note you can check out a new tech demo video showing off over 4,000 planes at once using the same graphics engine as DogFighter after the jump:

Hear ye, hear ye, it be time for this week's Mac Monday. Again, there's two delectable tidbits for your jaded palate. Or, rather, something delectable for everyone, and something that will only be to certain people's taste. I'm talking about Tycoon Games's Heileen, and Namco's Burgertime Deluxe. And I don't mean respectively, either. Check 'em out after the jump!

A shmup with lots of features always seems to be at the top of the charts on popular flash portals, and for good reason. Feature-complete action games are incredibly addicting, and with the addition of persistent upgrades and such, they get even more so. Enigmata is one of these addicting shmups, and it's certainly easy to lose yourself as you gun down loads of enemy ships.

Enigmata takes place on a wide screen as you travel vertically through the stage. Enemies randomly appear as you go, and you gain gold by killing them. Gold can be spent in-between stages at shops to repair your ship, upgrade with new components, or buy new ships. There are achievements (of course), but unlike most games, these achievements actually count towards something. In this case, as you gain more achievements, you gain access to shops with better equipment.

Who cares about zombie games where you realistically splatter the brains of every no-good undead shambler with your trust handgun? Not us! Give us a game where you fly around dropping mines on the heads of the non-living any day. Bombie Zombie is this game, and it has a certain old-school charm that would make it at home in any arcade. We do love games that feel authentic arcade-y, and this one fits!

Bombie Zombie is all about getting the highest score possible. You do this by dropping mines which explode when either you or a zombie touch them. Functionally, you will be hopping around, tossing mines every which way in your quest for the high score. There's a few power-ups, and game-changing disasters, but it's simple and fun all around, so give it a try!

Greetings, one and all, and welcome to another Mac Monday two-fer. This time around we're taking a look at another game in Reflexive Entertainment's Big Kahuna series: Big Kahuna Words; and a surprisingly playable Breakout-style arcade game by Bravo Bug Software called Mega Brickbash 3000. So without further ado, off we go!

There's a lot of great educational math games out there, like Blocksum or DropSum, but those are puzzle games. Jirosum, an entry into the TIGSource Adult/Educational Competition takes a different approach to the math portion and merges it with a shmup. The result is an amazingly well-designed arcade game that would not look out of place in the classroom, teaching kids math while entertaining them at the same time. After all, when educational and entertainment mix well, you get something awesome.

Jirosum follows a fox as he flies through a cave system, absorbing enemies into his floating cross. The enemies all have numbers associated with them, and when absorbed, add the number to the number currently in the cross. Shooting creates a projectile that hits all enemies in a straight line, subtracting their number from the number that was in the cross until it reaches zero, hits an enemy with a number higher than the projectile, or goes off the screen. Getting a perfect 0 (for example, collecting two ones and shooting them at a two) will net you extra points, with successive perfects giving you more.
