Sometimes you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug – I’m talking about games with a little bit of spite in them! Whether you love ’em or hate ’em, mean games have been around for a long, long time (heck, Sorry has been around since the 1920s) so we thought it would be fun to take a look at the dark side of gaming.

Dirty games! Lots of great games mentioned. I think pandemic w/bio-terrorist and kings of Tokyo could be thrown in the mix.

So maybe you like what you see, and you wanna tell me, but you're shy and won't comment. I understand. It's cool. Maybe you've got a tip for a hot new game and you want me to take a look. Or maybe - just maybe - you're a big game company and want to advertise on the site, or offer me a six-figure salary. Whatever the occasion, if you wanna drop me a line, send it to my email address and we'll talk. No big whoop.
