  • The Pickle Index

    I’ve definitely been doing a lot of reading of late – which may explain why I haven’t played as much Fallout 4 as you’d expect – and one of those reads has been The Pickle Index. It’s a project that can be taken in through 3 formats (deluxe book, paperback, or app) and although they…

    This past Friday I got the new Apple TV, and the day after the Nimbus controller that wirelessly syncs with it (over Bluetooth). I’m having a blast. I’ll start by saying that I’m a longtime and very strong user of Apple TV. It’s now turned into a pretty successful product for Apple, but I was…

    This is a new free-to-play tactics game on iOS from Square Enix, and I was interested in giving it a shot based on the screenshots I saw. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Hero Academy, another iOS tactics game I quite liked, but it still manages to feel like its own game. I especially…

    Last night I was re-watching the Dragon Quest episode of AmeTalk (which originally aired late last year) and although it was fun, it made me realize how DQ illiterate I really am – I’ve only played 4 (the updated version with 3D graphics that was released on the DS), 8, and 9. Since these games…

    I’m at a point where I very rarely play games on iOS these days, which is strange for me as I used to play tons of games that way, especially on iPad – it doesn’t help that my iPad 3 is finally showing its age, and I couldn’t even install the latest version of Duels…

  • Card Crawl

    Another iOS game I’ve been really enjoying of late is actually similar to Donsol. Card Crawl is also a dungeon crawler that you play with a deck of cards, with a lot of the interactions similar to what you do in Donsol, but with enough differences (extra items, more about the final score) to make…

  • The Witcher Battle Arena

    This is a new free-to-play MOBA that just came out on iPad, set in the Witcher universe, and hey, I’m having a blast playing it. The maps are tiny, which makes for quick games – it’s really just about constantly re-conquering the 3 points, and killing whoever is in your way. The game looks great,…

  • Blood & Laurels

    Another one of those games from earlier this year that I somehow didn’t post about here, but that I highly enjoyed. You like text adventures? Well, then you’ll want to get this. The interface is great – all touch, selecting from choices – and more importantly, it’s very well written. I hope we get more…

    An iOS runner using the LittleBigPlanet aesthetics, and it’s free? Yup, definitely worth a download, and although you probably won’t be playing it for that long – just the nature of the runner now, considering how many of them we’ve played over the years – but it’s well worth a play if you dig on…

  • Bit.Trip Run!

    This is another game that I’ve had for a while, but don’t think I included it here. It’s the iOS version of Runner 2, a game that I really loved playing on the PS3. It of course translates perfectly on the iPad, and so if you’ve never experienced it, this is a great way to…
