I am very grateful for a great many things, but maybe nothing more so than the love of my family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, Cheers!
Aliens Infestation
The perfect handheld space marine game. Most of the games I’ve played in the Alien series have sucked.* Which is particularly disappointing because I am such a huge fan of Alien. But Aliens Infestation breaks away from the rest, and is a noteworthy 2D side-scroller even if you’re not a fan of the franchise. You […]
The West was Won with Mini-games, Ready Steady Play by Cowboy Games
Instantly classic collection of mini-games. The Cowboy from Ready Steady Bang returns in this awesome, rumored to be growing, collection of mini-games. This title keeps the clean minimal feel of its predecessor with brilliant animation that springs to life and gives playful personality to our hero. The games capture the nostolgic feeling of simpler games […]
Requires a Circular Way of Thought, Duet by Kumobius
Duet makes you feel like you can work around anything, with enough practice. You are a pair of circles, seemingly floating in space. Blocks hang, fall, slide, spin, even disappear later in the game, and you have to make it through without smacking into any of them. Sounds straight forward enough, but no straight path […]
Where Have I Been?
I know I’ve missed more posts than usual lately and I’m sorry, but I’m probably not going to make this or next week’s either. Reason being, I’m getting married this weekend! And there’s been a lot of things to tie up in the last couple weeks, plus next week we’ll be on our honeymoon. So, thank […]
Challenge Yourself With KAMI by State of Play
A unique puzzle to solve. KAMI is a light puzzle game that I found to be a new and enjoyable challenge. The whole game is very zen; you fold paper to match colors and solve puzzles, the music and sound effects are calming, and the controls and menus are simple and intuitive. Reminds me of […]
Wilfred on FXX
It reminds me of Fight Club, only with less violence and more humor. Wilfred is a dark comedy about Ryan Newman (Elijah Wood) who sees his neighbor’s dog named Wilfred (Jason Gann) as a man in a dog suit. Ryan is a troubled introvert working out issues with his family and trying to figure himself out, maybe […]
A Reel Good Time, Ridiculous Fishing by Vlambeer
Ridiculous Fishing is everything the name promises and more. You’ve probably heard of Ridiculous Fishing before because it’s gotten a bunch of awards, but if you haven’t, or haven’t tried it, then I suggest you do so now. I admit the first time I played Vlambeer’s Ridiculous Fishing I was too absorbed in Rymdkapsel to really […]
Unwind with Dream of Pixels by Dawn of Play
A refreshing homage to Tetris. There’s a lot of falling block games out there that add nothing worthwhile to the classic Tetris, but Dream of Pixels by Dawn of Play has a satisfying twist. Instead of stacking blocks, you separate them. The reversal of the classic makes the experience rather meditative. You free the tetraminos to […]
Tic Tactics by Hidden Variable Studios, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The best thing to happen to tic tac toe, ever. What is it? A mobile evolution of Tic Tac Toe. Tic Tac Toe on a 9×9 matrix. Win three traditional 3×3 grids in a row to beat your opponent. The real tricky bit, your move determines the 3×3 grid your opponent must place their move in. […]
