    I really quite enjoyed playing through this. It’s a game, yes, but it’s probably best if you think of it more as a piece of interactive narration, as you are not really left to do any decision-making, simply progressing through the story – which does involve playing through a few MMO-like encounters, but the point…

    With everyone going on about how this is apparently the second coming in the form of a game, I figured I had to jump in. I’ve put in a couple of hours, and I do really like the fantastic dialogue and characterizations, but man, the “combat” system (I put this in quotes because I’m playing the…

    This is an interesting game, and I’m not quite sure how to describe it. I guess you could start by saying it’s a god game, as you are building a world, but then it also feels like a puzzle game in that when you get new pieces to add to your world, you have to…

    I’ve only played a bit so far, but this is such an interesting game. You play by accessing video recordings of a woman being interviewed/interrogated in regards to a crime, and based on that you need to figure out what really happened. Nice to see a game that incorporates live-action, and it not feeling cheesy.

    Even though I was very much interested in playing this game, I hadn’t picked it up upon release, mostly because I don’t really play games on my Mac much (I’m truly a console/portables/iPad gamer). But seeing this announcement from Tale of Tales today, about the poor sales of Sunset and how it has made them…

    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…

    Gotta love a company that shares something special like this – an interactive short story – with its fans for the holidays. Simogo simply can do no wrong.

    I wrote a post last year about how much I thought Hearthstone was a great digital card game, but I hadn’t really put that much time into it. I’d unlocked all of the classes, and then sort of drifted on to other things (there are just so many good card games coming out these days…

    I was a backer of this, so got my copy last week, but only got around to playing it tonight. Wow, what a great game. It of course looks gorgeous – even better then I thought it would – but I’m also really digging the turn-based battles. I’ve only played about an hour and a…

    I don’t know where to start in describing how much I love this game. From the amazing visuals – this could be an animated film I’d love to watch (but it’s even better that I can interact with it) – to the sounds, to the music, to the voices… I’m having a blast playing through…
