Variations on a Theme, Part I: Conspiracy

You may have never heard of Blogs of the Round Table. It’s a cross-blog event that encourages blog authors to write about specific topics each month. BoRT has undergone a format change recently, but I’ve been examining many of the older entries, and in playing catch-up, have decided to begin by writing on the April […]

Free Game Friday: This is the Only Level

“This is the Only Level” is a fun little game. There’s only one level, but it changes as your repeat it. It’s essentially a puzzle/platformer. Fun way to kill a few minutes on a Friday afternoon. Play “This is the Only Level“.

Keepers: Starcraft

Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge […]

Shank

I’ve just been reading about a game called Shank. It’s a sidescrolling beat-em-up, but with a very unique art style. Quite cartoony. I’ll be keeping my eye on this one.

Free Game Friday: Crush the Castle

When I was a kid, I used to play an amazing game called Crossbows and Catapults. It wasn’t a video game – it involved hurling actual plastic chips via mini elastic-powered crossbows and catapults. It was truly awesome. As an adult, I managed to get a copy which is sitting safely right here on my […]
