Last Life [vimeo 88592346 w=500 h=281] This is the coolest concept! A strategy game that mixes sci-fi and noir into an adventurous storytelling game that lies in the same vein as Telltale’s Walking Dead series and Kentucky Route Zero. You are murdered P.I.

The Walking Dead: A Recap
[youtube=http://youtu.be/-k0RM0FtYS8] The Walking Dead: A (4×16) Synopsis: All roads lead to Terminus, but not without a few bumps first. Rating: ★★★★☆ It’s not fair to tease us with Hershel, guys.

Kickstarter Round-Up: Bears, Love, and Tiki!
Bear Simulator The TL;DR is “It’s like a mini Skyrim but you’re a bear.” If that one glorious line didn’t sell you on donating, then you’re going to have to do a lot more reading to see all the hilariously fascinating things they’re trying to put into a game that […]

SDCC General Sale – How Did You Do?
Now that the dust has (mostly) settled on the 2014 general sale for SDCC badges, how did everyone do? Of the eight people, including myself, that attempted the general sale, only two of them made it in. When days started selling out, most who hadn’t gotten in abandoned the waiting […]
