We will Nukem, but it might take forever...

Well, it seems 3D Realms, the studio which is responsible for the development of the legendary Duke Nukem Forever (often known as Vapourware and that it will take Forever to come out), finally went belly up after more than a more than decade of work for the title. Could this prove to be the demise to the iconic first person shooter (FPS) anti-hero game?

War waits for no one

Lately there has been this surging of free browser based real time strategy games which involved lots of planning and time investment... thing is they are mostly played with people around the world 24/7 and your armies/cities stay in the game whether you are log in or not. Sometimes dire results can happen should your armies/cities found themselves under attack without the guidance of their lord...

Brick Gamers 32 - Virtual Deadly Calls

If the below comic is too small to read, it's because you're supposed to click on it so it opens in a new tab or window (depending on how your Web browser is configured). Why do we make life difficult for you? It's because this comic is a conversion from the printed comic that appears in the GameAxis Malaysia monthly magazine. Our weekly weekend Sunday comics don't suffer from this because it's an exclusive Web-only comic. Interested to syndicate our comics? Contact us at bricklives@gmail.com and you'll get the exclusive comics first before it even appears here!



If you're wondering how we built the Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF) Type-74 Main Battle Tank - we didn't! It's a MOC (My Own Creation) which is sold by Mechanized Bricks, but is unfortunately sold out. There are other tanks and military vehicles you can buy from them though :)
