Yeah, I've seen that. It's yet another knockoff chinese browser game, the "18+" bullshit is just a marketing ploy.
It really started with that Evony game, I think. Showing mostly naked women looking like something off a Harlequin book cover with phrases like "Play a game with me, Milord" and such crap.
The ESRB actually flat out told Evony they needed to focus less on that aspect in their ads or they'd bump up their rating.

I thought that Evony wasn't even rated by the ESRB, and were told to stop mentioning a rating in their ads.
A 19 year old kid has made a 25 hour Skyrim expansion including a landmass 1/3rd as big as Skyrim itself. It's called Falskaar and is apparently better than most of the vanilla content of Skyrim. Kid's gunning for a job.

If I had Skyrim on PC, I'd be downloading that right now. That's amazing.

Former SimCity Creative Directer Ocean Quigley, Gameplay Lead Dan Moskowitz, and Lead Architect Andrew Willmott have left EA to form an indie studio, Jellygrade, calling themselves “recovering ex-AAA game developers.” The trio is now working on “a simulation about the dawn of life on earth; about lava, water, rock and the emergence of the first primordial creatures,” according to a tweet from Quigley.

I sort of feel obliged to root for them, out of principle. Is that weird? That's not weird, is it?
I was going to say Spore, but yours is actually a better example.
Which would be AWESOME.

Oh my god he's MOWING THE LAWN AGAIN EVERYBODY INTO THE TUNNELS
To anyone with a WiiU: EarthBound is now available for the Virtual Console.
The game is actually pretty rare and in small supply. This means that, for the vast majority of people, this is probably the only way they can get it legally. I'm okay with a little price gouging, as long as it can help ensure future releases.
Turned my Wii into an emulation box. Still don't feel bad about it. Most use it's ever gotten.
Yeeeeep. I've entirely enjoyed my sons playing through SNES classics. Oldest (clone of myself) took to Earthbound which made me crazy proud. He's also gotten pretty far in Link to the Past.
So, new Ace Combat is announced using quotes from the older games in the series (the ones that weren't garbage, fuck you Assault Horizon). You can even see a glimpse of Stonehenge and the heavy command cruiser from the earlier games. Then it shows that it takes place on Earth and is announced as PS3 only. Meaning it's probably the 3rd entry into the shitty F2P games Namco has been releasing and it's going to be a pay for mission/plane/everything colossal clusterfudge.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Optimistically, I hope it's not as shitty as Assault Horizon. Fuck that game. Didn't even have the awesome computer tactical replays of the missions.
