Cop-Out: Precinct Crowd-Funding Cancelled 27 Aug 2013 | 05:00 pm
There are plenty of pitfalls that come with crowd-funding. Hell, even successful campaigns suffer from cashflow problems. But I’d imagine Precinct, the spiritual successor to Police Quest, would rathe...
Build Your Own AdventurOS 27 Aug 2013 | 04:00 pm
The basic concept behind AdventurOS is one that has fascinated me for years: build a game that interprets a computer’s file structure as level code, thus creating a unique but repeatable and controlla...
Impressions: Skullgirls 27 Aug 2013 | 03:00 pm
Skullgirls absolutely exudes style. From the off there’s a classy jazz beat lain down to play out over the dark menu, entries listed in a unique typeface. Thought and time has obviously been put into ...

Super Hot’s Novel Take On Time-Stopping Is Super Cool 26 Aug 2013 | 09:00 pm
Oh goodness gracious, Super Hot is a great, ultra-stylish game concept. Now, I use the word “concept” because there’s not a whole lot to it yet (such is the nature of many 7DFPS standouts, sadly), but...
Jerkwad Cat Simulator: Catlateral Damage 26 Aug 2013 | 07:00 pm
True fact: I was raised by cats. True fact the second: my first word was “meow.” I’m not joking about that, either. Point is, I very much get the cat mentality. I grew up around them, and I understand...
