If Bethesda's promise of dragons, 100's of hand crafted unique dungeons, Radiant AI and dual casting of spells excited you, then read no further because this game is for you. Go and buy it because nothing I say henceforth will convince you otherwise. Have fun and we'll see you when you emerge. For those who weren't entirely convinced or require further coaxing, read on. Dragons Yes, they are awesome to fight. To see…
I'm going to gloss over the plot, not because I don't think it's good, but because it isn't why I enjoy the game. The plot, to me, feels a little like The Matrix in that you're guarding a hub that houses human intelligence from machines. If they're able to get their hands on it their intelligence exceeds theoretical limits. The narrative plays out via comic book style animatics, similar to Mirrors Edge. You're given…
Anomaly: Warzone Earth is a top down reverse tower defense game developed by Polish developer 11 bit Studios. They're a small team with lots of experience in the industry. In Warzone Earth you play the role of a commander who wears a suit of armor that can repair columns of vehicles, provide smoke screens, call in air strikes and place decoy systems on a battlefield. The game takes place on a future Earth that is…

Anytime someone asks me what my favorite or most memorable experience is, I share this story. I wrote and posted it to Bitmob (Now VentureBeat), who then featured it on their front page. The number of people that came out of the woodwork to share similar stories helped to solidify my belief that we are all amazing people who care deeply about video games. ____________________________________ Wh...

Depending on how you use it Twitter can be a fantastic tool. Some people use it to talk with friends, others use it for business. I use it to find and communicate with people who share the same interests. Those people might be real life friends, people I've met in multiplayer games, or developers and journalists I found via the service. Over the last three years I've learned a few things about...

Dear Esther is an experience. There's no semblance of a game to be found. I do not “play” the experience and I cannot affect the space around me. I am, quite literally, along for the ride. There are no enemies, switches, levers, doors to open, or crates to smash. I am a lens into a ghost world. The island is riddles, metaphors, euphemisms and an experience I won't soon forget. But how to define...

This is a weekly writeup of things I find funny, informative, enlightening or just awesome. I don't have a definition for awesome. It's purely subjective. Maybe a trend will develop and I can then determine what I find awesome. I'm going to lead off with a quote by Gabe Newell of Valve Software. This is taken from the interview Ben Kuchera conducted, and is linked below. Discussing DRM: "You kn...

I was originally going to write an open letter to Bioware, but I'm a nobody and they would never have seen it. Instead, I'm going to write a piece about why putting the likeness of Jessica Chobot in Mass Effect 3 is a terrible idea. I know they can't change it now, and I don't expect them to. But, man, what the fudge pop. Okay, if you haven't seen it Bioware released a new video starring the re...

I sometimes wonder if anyone writing for game related websites stops to think about the shit they post before they post it. For example, some people seem to think that Sony or Microsoft may release a new console this year, or at least mention it. In reality, anyone who pays attention to what the two companies say would know the answer right away. Sony and Microsoft have both said they want thei...
