So why do you still have that same generic background set as your desktop wallpaper? I like to change mine up frequently, and what better to feature here on Old School Apps then some sweet gaming wallpapers! This will be part 1 of an ongoing group of posts I'll do, as I gather more backgrounds for new games. What are you waiting for, check them out!

It's time for part 3 of this on-going series here at Old School Apps. Each entry, I try to bring you some crazy gaming items that never quite hit home (literally). Most of these items have slipped through the eyes retailers and consumers. Was it because they were unpopular, unofficial, or under estimated in awesomness? At this point they are simpley relics of the past which demostrate innovations and ambitions of their creators, even if the general public didn't appreciate it at the time. We'll still take a few minutes to take note of these awesome inventions, because that's what we do here.

Hey guys, thought I'd share with you some of my favorite off-site flash games. The games range from Tower Defense and Strategy to... games that are a little hard to describe. These games are pulled from the full list of 30 flash games on my website. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

This is the first game to be released which also was a part of my E3 2011 coverage, that is if you don’t count Fruit Ninja Kinect. I am a bit behind I know, but here goes. This game was the highlight of my E3 experience even though I did not even play it. It is also the most challenging game I have played in quite some time. If you are unwilling to withstand constant death and dismemberment, and are not a prodigy vampire killer, this game simply is not for you. However, if you have a little backbone, can learn from your untimely deaths, and get a rush from precision, high speed hacking and slashing, then BloodRayne: Betrayal may very well be the best indie game you play all year.

Sitting in a room at PAX awaiting the start of the presentation 2K and Gearbox had prepared for the next Borderlands title, I actually was prepared to be underwhelmed.  I loved Borderlands, but shooter sequels rarely shine past their predecessors.  A company simply cannot afford to significantly change or improve a successful brand without alienating their exisitng customer base.  So when 2Ks rep explained that the new game would be a true sequel in that major improvements would be introduced, I was still skeptical.  Read my impressions of the upcoming game after the jump.
