• Jumping to New Heights… Abduction! 2 [Review]

    Before I get into the nitty gritty of this review, allow me to just say a couple things:
    First, I’m a huge fan of the original Abduction! World Attack. During a time when Android gaming was largely unpolished and crude, Phil Symonds gave us a game that was not only fun, but also very well presented.
    Second, [...]

  • What Have I Done?… Amnesia: The Dark Descent [Review]

    There are games that are fun right away and lose their luster after a few hours. There are games that take time to get into to really enjoy, and then a game comes along like Frictional’s adventure horror Amnesia: The Dark Descent. A title which demands a commitment to the idea of immersion from both the player [...]

  • Onwards and Upwards with Comic Jumper [PAX]

    Twisted Pixel is something of an indie success story – and that might be putting it mildly. While there are around twenty employees now, with more being considered as I type, the company was originally started with just a few. The team jumped up to six or seven folks for The Maw’s development and moved [...]

  • Yeyifications!… Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale [Review]

    Next time you’re off galavanting around a massive RPG world, slaying monsters and fulfilling your destiny, spare a thought for the shopkeeper in the last town who sold you all your gear. Without them, you’d be a nobody – you’d have no sword, no armor, no healing products. Confined to a live of standing behind [...]

  • PassagevsMachinarium

    The last week for the first round of 32!

    Here we are, another new tournament match up. But, as usual, before we begin let’s run through a quick update to one of last week’s tournaments. It would seem that Braid has, somewhat, narrowly beat Runman: Race Around the World meaning that Braid will be heading off to the round of 16 where it’ll face off against the wildly popular N.

    Anyway, now that that’s out of the way let’s move on to today’s match up. Once again I’ve decided to mix things up a bit. Instead of going down the line we are featuring the Passage vs. Machinarium bout.

    Up first, we have Jason Rohrer’s incredibly deep, and surprisingly short Passage. This is a game that’s been lauded by critics everywhere as being deep in meaning and emotion. Despite it’s relatively short game life, most people seem to continue to recommend it.

    Not to be counted out so quickly, however, is Amanita Studio’s brilliantly creative adventure game, Machinarium, which was released last year. The game has been well received by both fans and critics all over the world for it’s amazing artwork and unquestionably hard puzzles.

    So which game will take the cake? Cast your vote now!
