From what I’m told, this is Blizzard’s free to play, Magic cards-like, based off of WoW, game. I’m neither familiar with Magic nor WoW. I was a Starcraft person, myself, but even then, I avoided the battle.net games. Maybe my internet was too slow? Maybe I just wanted to learn about the game without feeling … Continue reading
You’re flying a spaceship, faster than light, to beat the Rebels to the main base. Along the way, you battle and collect resources for weapons and upgrades. The FTL wiki describes it as follows: FTL: Faster Than Light is a space role-playing game with roguelike elements developed by Subset Games, in which you are the … Continue reading
He’s only known a solitary life aboard a high-tech spaceship. She lives in a small town with superstitious traditions and no computers in sight. Despite the contrasting backdrops, their lives are connected. How? Well, that part has yet to be released. My Experience. I started as her. I got a little stuck and switched to … Continue reading
I decided that I’m not going to limit myself to digital games. So, for my first post to that regard, I’m writing about the card game, Coloretto. It’s a game with simple concepts and social mechanics. I’m not good at games, where you have to _regularly_ screw other people over to win. This game is … Continue reading
A friend downloads this game called Threes a couple weeks ago. It’s currently $2 on iPhone and Android. My friend called it the Tetris of our day, and, I have to admit, it is easy to understand, challenging, and fun. Before getting the chance to write about it, an interesting lineage of clones appeared. Cloned. The … Continue reading
Like the Candy Box game, there’s a somewhat absurdly deep narrative embedded in these overly straightforward game mechanics. The premise is always very simple (like clicking a cookie to bake a cookie), and, before you know it, you start attracting alien cookie parasites. Anyhow, I’m reviewing it, because, games like these, you can leave running … Continue reading
I haven’t had a chance to do much other than writing academic papers, but I did manage to try out the Papers, Please Beta. You can buy the full game on Steam for $10. One could imagine an academic parody titled, “Dissertation, Please.” According to dukope.com, the game was created by Lucas Pope: A Dystopian … Continue reading
For the most part, it was just that game where you laid tetris pieces down in neat formations, and the little white minions would autonomously move to and fro. Each run through is at least an hour, and after playing 6 or so games, I still don’t remember how to spell/pronounce the title. Rymdkapsel, as … Continue reading
… maybe a Red Head, Lookout, and Locksmith as well. If you’ve ever wanted to be one of the above, then you should play the game “Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine”– http://www.monacoismine.com/ For $15 you can get it on Steam of XBox Live and go on collaborative heists with friends and strangers. Single player mode … Continue reading
After brunch, on a beautiful Saturday, a friend showed me this game. Three of us from the EIS lab played it for about an hour or so, and I’m glad that I had someone to explain to me the basics of what was going on. It’s confusing, at first, then a bit addicting, then a … Continue reading
