Make Your Own Damn Ben 10 Game

11:00AM Mike Fahey | Worried about what D3 Publisher has in store for their upcoming Ben 10: Alien Force game, based off of the relaunch of the hit Cartoon Network series? Well then head over to the Ben 10: Alien Force game creator and make your own damn video game. Launched today at Cartoon Network’s website, the flash game allows players to creator and share their own action adventure game creations with the community, where they will be weighed, measured, and assigned a rating based on how awesome they are or aren’t. They’ve already got several entries ready for you to test out, or dig right in and create your own. It’s a bit limited of course, but it is also completely free, so it balances out.

D3 Does Ben 10 Again

11:00AM Mike Fahey | The Ben 10 cartoon series recently relaunched as Ben 10: Alien Force, featuring a more mature Ben and Gwen teaming up with enemy Kevin Levin to form a super team of sorts, kicking all sorts of alien arse and garnering an absolutely huge ratings boost for Cartoon Network. D3 Publisher is ready to cash in on the hype with a follow-up to last year’s Ben 10: Protector of Earth titled, aptly enough, Ben 10: Alien Force. Grandpa Max has gone missing, the world is in danger, and it’s up to those three plus five of Ben’s new forms to save the day. The game is being developed for the Nintendo Wii, DS, and PlayStation 2, with a release date sometime this fall. While I enjoy the hell out of the cartoon, the last game failed to please the fanboy within. Perhaps the second time around they’ll get it right? More »

Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon

3:40AM Mike Fahey | The Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim is back with another irreverent flash game to help you while away a lazy Monday morning. This time around they’re taking on the Trauma Center series with the game Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon. Join Alan, a pizza delivery guy whose truck’s faithful meeting with a former doctor leads him to give up his day job in favor of performing unauthorised surgery in a dirty clinic. Open the patient with your pizza cutter, remove glass with salad tongs, close them up with your stapler and then cauterize the wound with your Zippo! Other available tools include a corkscrew, a car battery, and an Etch-A-Sketch? All the fun of surgery with none of those silly hygiene guidelines – plus his name is an anagram for Anal Probe! Top quality. Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon [Adult Swim Games - Thanks king_e_dawg!] More »

Ben 10: Protector Of The Earth Website Opens

9:00AM Flynn De Marco | People seem to really love Ben 10. The Cartoon Network show crosses the lines between kids and adults and when I saw the game demoed at Comic-Con, both sets of ages were there, enjoying the game with equal abandon. I tried it out myself and even though I wasn’t terribly familiar with the show, the game was pretty fun. With the game’s launch not far off, D3 Publishers has premiered the game’s website which is now open and ready for your rather stringent approval. I’m sure you’ll have plenty to say about it.
