    I will say, this is one damn cool game. I really enjoyed playing through this – takes about 2 hours to go through this first episode – and I really can’t wait for the next episodes to come out. My favorite aspect of the game is that you are not really controlling the character of…

    I never thought I’d get into this damn beta, but lo and behold, early last week I received my beta key, and so was able to give it a try. I was really excited to play this, and have to say that they’ve done a really fantastic job of creating a card game for the…

    Another one of those games I’d been meaning to play forever, and have now finally had the chance – thanks to the fact that the PlayStation Mobile version (so on Vita) is currently available for free. I’m not the biggest strategy head, but man, I sure had fun playing this. There’s something really comforting about…

    I’ve had to be patient on this, since I was waiting for the iOS version to finally come out – my favorite way to play Telltale games is on iPad. Absolutely loved this first episode – played it in one evening – and cannot wait for the rest. Looks slightly better than The Walking Dead…

    A sequel to this game recently came out, which reminded me that I had bought the first one, but hadn’t really gotten around to playing it much. I have now done just that, and wow, this game is really well done. Yes, it’s based on the old choose-your-own-adventure books, but the presentation and interactive elements…

    Finally got around to playing the 400 Days DLC for The Walking Dead game (on iPad), and it’s definitely just as good as the rest of the game was. Really liked the fact that I was playing through all these tiny vignettes. Just makes me that much more excited to play the second season, that…

    As with everyone else on the planet right now, I’ve been playing the just released Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time on iOS. The biggest change this time is of course that it follows the free-to-play model, and so far I’m not having a problem with it – and from what I’ve been reading,…

    I’m not usually into strategic war simulations – not at all, actually – but I can’t recommend Battle of the Bulge for iPad enough. It was recommended to me by a friend, and after playing through the free demo version, I pretty much immediately bought it (and it’s fairly pricey for an iOS game, at…

    Having the absolute worse case of seasonal allergies since I’ve come to Japan — the magic pills I always take, Alesion, just aren’t doing their thing it seems this year. Good thing I’ll be out of the country for a few days, starting tomorrow. For the first time, I’ll be taking in Vietnam and Cambodia…

    For some reason I’ve always avoided doing year-end lists of favorite things — I don’t really know why — but I just felt like doing one this year, and so here goes. Now, of course, this is all based on what I’ve actually seen/played/used/listened to, and so consider this a personal compilation of the favorite…
