I love the turn based game mechanic. So much so that I am really interested in picking up The Banner Saga. Since it's not a "must buy" for me I was thinking of picking it up as some kind of bundle or sale. That said, I recently watched the latest episode of the Red Letter Media "Pre-Rec" game review show and I was left a bit confused.

Jack and Rich Evans really don't seem to like the game and their criticism of it seems pretty valid, if not a bit cynical. One one hand, the criticism seemed fune but then I remembered that The Banner Saga has received some pretty positive acclaim. The game currently holds a... Read All


One of the questions i've had since I heard about Destiny has been "what kind of shooter is it?" I mean, I always knew it was a shooter, but what made Destiny different? Clearly the people at Bungie had something unique in store and after watching this latest interview video with Pete Parsons, I have a much better idea. Destiny seems to take many ideas from Borderlands but seems to do things a bit differently with it's social hub play.

Oh yeah and the game just looks incredible too.


The folks over at CineFix have posted another film to 8-bit translation, this time re-creating on the classic Zemeckis film, Forrest Gump. All of the main highlight scenes are covered as well as Alan Silvestri's iconic score.


This is a picture of me and Nic Blondi, the developer of Hard Lander at the Cheerful Ghost booth at the Victory Condition Arcade yesterday. If you you are going to be in downtown Portland tonight from 5pm - 10pm, stop by the Art Institute of Portland and pick up a Cheerful Ghost sticker. After that you should check out the board and video games showing like Hard Lander and Monsters at My Birthday Cake.

Originally the Victory Condition Event said it ended today, but I was mistaken you can come tonight too.

Hello! You may have seen my previous and 1st game Lokani Addicting Space Runner earlier. This game is my second, Lokani Addicting Space Ball. I'll add a little story to this one to keep it interesting:

I am not a formally or informally trained developer, before experimenting last year, I had only basic knowledge of HTML.

However last year I just made the decision to make (and publish) 1 game in 12 months' time. Well, when I sat through my very first tutorial on how to make a game I thought "Wow, why don't I just make a game now!"

Subsequently, I made Lokani Addicting Space Runner (http://lokani.com/games/lokani-addicting-space-runner/) in just 7 days, which included... Read All


As someone that typically doesn't like mobile games, I was strangely excited to see Wayward Souls launch. Wayward Souls is a 2D hack-n-slash rogue-like that has some of the best mobile controls i've experienced. Lately, it's been the game i've been spending the most time playing because it's focus on short gameplay chunks is really compelling. I want to thank Kepa of RocketCat Games for getting back to me and I wish them well to a speedy PC launch!

jdodson: Wayward Souls has launched to some pretty universal critical acclaim with fans and reviewers. How are you taking the feedback and has anything altered your initial set of plans for the game?

Kepa Auwae: There's some... Read All

Microsoft has finally announced that they will be releasing an Xbox One without the Kinect for $399!

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2014/05/13/microsoft-xbox-one-399/9034693/

This is great news to me. I have been an Xbox user in the past and preferred it to the PlayStation, but the One bundled with the Kinect completely turned me off to the Xbox. I am probably still leaning towards a PS4 when I finally get around to buying a new console, but this finally made the Xbox One competitive for me.

What are your thoughts? Are you more likely to get the Xbox One now?


Like many of you I have a ton of games in Steam I've never played. We all get them from bundles, game packs or Steam sales and have high ambitions to play them all. Eventually.

Thing is, over the last year my list of games has increased at a faster rate than I can play them so I decided to take steps to address this. One thing I do now is I don't buy a game I won't immediately play. So if there is a new sweet bundle OR game on sale, I will not buy it unless I will be playing it within a few days of buying it. My thinking here is that if I don't plan on sitting down to play the game now it won't happen in a week.

I have also decided that when I want to play a new game,... Read All

Blizzard will launch Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Edition on consoles August 19th. If you have been unable to play the game thus far because your are console bound, now you will get your chance.

"Tim sits down for the first time in 10 years to play "Day of the Tentacle"! In this first installment we explore some of Bernard's storyline and clear away the cobwebs of time from Tim's memory. "

Double Fine is releasing a few videos that have since been special backers only rewards. I just watched the latest video of Tim Schafer playing Day of the Tentacle. Hearing him talk about the games development as he plays it is really great as Day of the Tentacle has always had a special place in my "video game soul."

Thy plan on releasing more videos of Tim Schafer playing Lucas Arts classics and will conclude the Day of the Tentacle play with a part 2.

What memories do you... Read All
