Everyone was talking about Burnout: Paradise like it was super awesome. I didn’t like driving games, but I tried it, and dammit, it won me over. It was fantastic fun, even for someone not serious about their driving and racing. Now, everyone was talking about Hot Pursuit along the same lines as Paradise. Armed with […]
Let’s just look at a little thing today. Unpleasant Horse. Apparently Popcap made this little spinoff studio called 4th and Battery who exists just to be kind of a “make whatever you like and not be bound by the fact that we’re Popcap” kind of deal. Which sounds like a great idea to me. Popcap […]
Yesterday was a shitty day. There were some non-shitty bits, caused by the awesome people I have in my life, but mostly shitty ones. As I write this, it’s still going similarly. I’m frustrated and tired and unhappy, and I have to write a blog post. Well then. For all the crazy-ass stuff I am […]
Coin Drop! is the other game Lobst suggested people should buy when she tweeted about NBA Jam. Again, dollar, random recommendation, and I immediately purchased it. A review I saw on Slide to Play compares the game to Peggle. I feel like this is unfair to Peggle. As random as Peggle is, it still feels […]
Let’s bang out some iOS game review thought things I’ve been putting off, hm? We’ll start with Neuroshima Hex. If you feel like you would ever play a hotseat multiplayer sort of strategy game, buy Neuroshima Hex. Neuroshima Hex is a strategy game played on a hexagonal board made of hexes. It looks like a […]
Pre-message: Cara, I am not making fun of you. I’m trying to think about the nature of game design and how I take it for granted. Using two sticks is super hard. Anyway, the point is, Cara came over this evening and attempted to play Portal 2 while I watched. As a very gamer type […]
Here’s a lesson: if you ever want things to not change, never do mental math. Basically, a little while ago, I did some mental math at how much I was spending on energy drinks in a month, just because I was wondering. I then went, “Well, shit,” and haven’t bought one since because, dammit, it […]
Everyone on Talking Time and such could not shut up about Spiral Knights. Everyone seemed to be getting into this new free-to-play game that they were describing as a mix of an MMO and Zelda. I was really iffy, but after hearing that you plug in a controller to your PC, and it just works […]
Before the end of the semester, I have to submit a bunch more stories to magazines and stuff as part of my independent study thing. Now, one might think that I would be pumped or at least not really stressed by the idea of doing this, seeing as I just got a short story accepted […]
There are few one dollar iOS games I will not buy for a dollar with a recommendation. Lobst tweeted that NBA Jam was on sale over the Easter weekend, and so I immediately bought it. That is all it takes. iOS game makers, take note. In any case, I’m not a sports fan or sports […]
