    This is the lost post I referred to recently, which to my surprise suddenly popped up again in my draft folder, and so I’ve decided to share it as is, along with a little update at the end. The Magaziner returns. Sorta. In recent weeks, I’ve been feeling the itch to bring back The Magaziner…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Yes, I’m playing a game in which WWE wrestlers are fighting it out while wearing fantasy costumes in a Mortal Kombat-like setting (made by the Mortal Kombat people). It’s basically the Injustice fighting game with a WWE fantasy skin, although I do get a kick out of how the big power moves are similar to the…

    It’s no secret that I love board games, and so when I first heard about this game – when it was going through its Kickstarter campaign – I was pretty excited about what it was promising: a beautiful digital board game experience that marries the best of physical board games and digital games. It came…

    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,…

    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…
