For the past few years, I’ve listened to many XBox 360 owners explain why their console of choice was superior to the Playstation 3. And while some games – Dead Rising, Fable 2, and the upcoming Alan Wake for example – have made me wish that I owned a 360, for the most part I’ve been […]

I bought a Nintendo DS Lite on day one, and as you may have read back in 2006, the day one Nintendo DS Lites had an issue with hinges cracking. My own DS has had a cracked hinge since 2006, but tonight it just got a lot worse. After a session of Retro Game challenge, […]

Continuity is amongst the coolest of the browser-based flash games I’ve posted here. It combines basic platforming of the kind seen in N+ with a sliding puzzle game. The game won an independent games festival, and rightfully so. It’s wicked creative. Play Continuity
