Cute Knight Kingdom is an elaboration of Hanako's
older game, Cute Knight , with more places to...
go, more quests, and vastly improved graphics. This being an indie game, "vastly improved graphics" does not, in this case, mean high-poly 3D virtual worlds, but actual full-color illustrations and ...

My boardgame Megacorps was released last week. It
would, of course, be otiose for me to review...
my own work, so these are more along the line of design notes: When Zev "Z-Man" Schlesinger called after playing Megacorps , he said "It reminded us of an old Avalon Hill/West End game." Which ...

You ever notice something about the Breath of
Fire games? Ryu kind of hogs the limelight in...
the final battles. Its like, you level up all these people, feed them potions, lug their stuff around, and then: "ok everyone, I'm going to transform into a dragon and take care of this one." They go ...

This was produced by the government of Denmark.
I mean, c'mon. It was 'developed' supposedly to raise...
awareness for domestic violence in said country, but it does so in a crassly exploitative manner. The "game" plays out as a series of looping video vignettes of a hot chick berating you in ...

I first played Super Mario World at the
tender age of three, and when I did my...
mind was blown. Since my introduction to the genre, only three platformers have had a comparable impact on me. All three are indie titles. The first two, namely Spelunky and Braid , redefined what could be done ...

Continuing the fine tradition of procedurally generated platformers
made in GameMaker, such as Spelunky and also the...
fine tradition of belligerent, Christianity-addled empires, comes We Want You . You fall through a freshly weaved mess of destructible blocks and killer soldiers, grabbing armor ...

Europa Universalis II is, in my estimation, one
of the finest games ever produced, in any form....
It is also, like, say, Dwarf Fortress , pretty impenetrable to newbies; reading the manual (and possibly my article on EUs II and III ) is mandatory. In case you aren't familiar with the series: ...

When I say the phrase "online multiplayer" visions
of tea-bagging and PvP probably fill your head. They...
