iPhone: itsy bitsy Spider
To understand any gaming system, you should ferret out the games best suited to the system. This is true of any platform, but it's particularly true of innovative approaches finding their way, such as the DS and the Wii. And, yes, the iPhone. But when I ducked into a random message board ...

The latest Duke Nukem can't shoot straight
Who knows what's going on at this Facebook page , which teases some sort of Duke Nukem related "project" called D-Day? I mean, seriously, what sort of game developer uses Facebook or Twitter to make cryptic announcements? Anyway, whatever the heck is going on in that screenshot up there is ...

Four new heroes to embark on Puzzle Quest 2
Have a look at the just-released screenshots for Puzzle Quest 2 (plus some concept art of a lighthouse). Do you see all the cool new stuff Infinite Interactive is doing in this sequel to the game that busted match-3s out of the match-3 ghetto? Me either. But I suppose that's okay. Infinite ...

December 1, 2009: wallet threat level yellow
This must be what it's like if you stick around at the finish line of a marathon after everyone else goes home. A few stragglers, huffing and puffing and maybe a little pathetic and desperate to see if anyone has waited up for them, plod across the finish line. So it is with this week's new ...

Solium Infernum: a couple things you should know first
I'm a huge fan of this game. It's imaginative, elegant, varied, and beautiful. It's one of the best multiplayer games of the year. But before I recommended it to anyone, I would be sure to mention a couple of important caveats. I tell you what they are after the jump.

Four reasons the iPhone is a terrible gaming platform
I've been told there are good iPhone games out there. But I think what people mean when they tell me this is there are lots of iPhone games out there, so surely some of them are good. I'm not convinced. I recently tried four highly recommended iPhone games - well, three highly recommended ...

Dungeons & Dragons Online's drow: don't call them night elves
Okay, what do you see when you look at those pictures? If said "night elves", you make Drizzt cry. Although they'll look very familiar to World of Warcraft players, these are drow elves from Dungeons & Dragons Online . Dungeons & Dragons was doing "night elves" before there was any such ...

Solium Infernum: touched by an angel
Solium Infernum: touched by an angel
fidgit.com — Many games have random events. A common mechanic in a boardgame is drawing some sort of event... card that can affect everyone. But Solium Infernum doesn't quite do it that way. Instead, you draw a card every time it's your turn to first. So when you're ... (more) Solium Infernum: touched by an angel
Daily Telegraph exposes secret gay sex in Dragon Age
If there's one thing worse than a sex scene, it's a secret sex scene. And if there's one thing worse than a secret sex scene, it's a secret gay sex scene. The Daily Telegraph is on the case. The British publication had nothing better to run in its online videogaming section than the following ...

New demon assassin joins the Demigod rogue's gallery
Demigod just got the first of its two new denizens. The demon assassin is a fast demigod killer with a bunch of new tricks to let him strike quickly and from a distance. But he's also got plenty of passive abilities to make him a deadly low-maintenance melee fighter. Just put him in the right ...

Solium Infernum: when war gets personal
fidgit.com — Although higher level legions can carry around a lot of equipment, a legion can only ever have... one leader. The leaders are called praetors, which is Latin for "the guy what's in charge". That somber looking praetor up there is Temeluchas, a demonic ... (more) Solium Infernum: when war gets personal
See how dolphins hear in Devil's Tuning Fork
Fifteen students at DuPaul University's College of Computer and Digital Media have finished a project for the Independent Games Festival competition. I'm a bit surprised this hasn't* been done before: What if you saw the world with your ears? Devil's Tuning Fork is a first-person ...

Sins of a Solar Empire expansion beta lets fans explore appeasement
Sins of a Solar Empire , the sci-fi real time strategy game, is boldly going where no strategy game has gone before. As far as I know, no strategy game has added diplomacy into the mix after it was released. You can't just slap onto a game the option to negotiate your way out a war. But as ...

What a Back to the Future videogame would look like
The best recent time travel game is Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time , but when you travel in time, you just step through a portal. Bo-ring! The above demo -- which is just a tech demo with no gameplay -- shows how time travel should look. (Thanks Anti-Bunny!)

Need for Speed Shift gets its much needed tune-up
Although I'm hugely fond of Need for Speed Shift , it does have a few problems that need to be patched. So today is you're lucky day if you're playing on the Playstation 3. The first big patch goes live, fixing a whole mess of problems with tuning that made certain cars in certain events almost ...

November 23, 2009: wallet threat level green
So it's the very last moment for a game to come out before this weekend's notorious Black Friday shopping frenzy. Let's see who's making it in just under the wire. Umm, no one. What a sparsely populated week. Pretty much all the big games coming out this year are already out, with just a few ...
