A delight in every way 0

FTL(Mac) by clint on September 13, 2012

In FTL: Faster Than Light, you are tasked with bringing a crew of your choosing, running a ship of your choosing, and their precious intel on the Rebel fleet back to friendly territory. Over the course of doing so, you will encounter ion storms in nebulae, asteroid fields, helpless and hapless citizens needing your help, and ruthless pirates that want nothing more than to ruin your day.

Eagerly anticipating Mirror's Edge 2 0

Mirror's Edge(PC) by clint on May 25, 2009

It cannot be overstated how apparent it is that Mirror's Edge is a labor of love.  Every part of the game is finely crafted, from the musical cues to the graphics to even the death animation.  The voice acting is for the most part superb, and of course the mechanics are reasonably finely tuned.So where does Mirror's Edge stumble?  Two main points–– the story and the action.The premise of Mirror's Edge is promising, if somewhat banal.  There exist runners that serve as a counterculture to the uto...
