Maybe you’ve spent the past month looking for something to do. Looking for a game to play. After all, there’s nothing out there right now where you can steal cars and kill people in video game land. Nothing new. Right? Wait.
Anyway, Adult Swim Games has put out a couple of things this past month that might just sate that hankerin’ for some video gamerin’ you’ve been having. One of the solutions they have for you is for home. One is for while you’re out. So they’ve got you covered no matter what. Volgarr the Viking will keep you busy when you’re all bored at home, while Giant Boulder of Death will make damn sure you miss your bus stop on the way to wherever you go. Let’s take us a look.
Giant Boulder of Death for iOS came out earlier this month and it’s totally free so you don’t have to break the bank with a 99 cent purchase.

Smash through anything and everything, crushing towns, cars, cows, and basically whatever stands up to you. You’re a boulder, you’re bigger than it. Destroy it. Some shots:
