Although video game achievement systems have only cropped up in the past few years, the notion goes back to arcade games that displayed high score lists. Then, you’d enter three initials that would remain on the screen until someone else played the same cabinet game and got a higher score, or until someone unplugged the […]

I’ve got no idea how this video escaped me until now, as it’s apparently been on teh interwebs for six months or so.

I tend to think of it as good omen for a game if the publisher releases a demo as opposed to forcing you to make your purchasing decision strictly off screenshots and online reviews. Kinda like how bad movies […]

Ham Sandwich RPG is a fun little game put together this summer in a 48 hour game competition. Craig Stern and Tyler Schmal did a good job with it, although I never could get my hands on the power of love. Maybe I should ask Huey Lewis. Download Ham Sandwich RPG (requires Adobe Air)

Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss the games that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I’m a self proclaimed pack-rat and collector, but if I ever had to sell my gaming collection to feed my family these are the games I’d hang onto. If my wife let me, anyway. I never […]
