This is as far as I got. I keep trying to play this game. I can not pass the 4th level. It's probably me, but I'm just sick of it and I'm not playing it again. The controls, even though driven by a mouse, feel imprecise and I'm never sure which circle will connect to its neighbor. If you're more dexterous or patient than me, maybe you'll like it.
Enemies burst into fragments of digital glass SUPERHOT has incredibly precise, exciting gameplay. The slow-fast motion gives the player a chance to feel like a superhero and action-movie badass while simultaneously watching the glorious results of their murderous rampage unfold in slow motion around them. This slow motion makes for an experience that is more aesthetically pleasing than many FPS...
The game's themes are dark, but the overall feeling of the opening isn't as emo as this cover art makes it look. I've only played through what seems to be the first act of the game and a little more, but I don't see myself finishing it so I'm writing up the part that I've seen. I'm 3 hours in according to Steam, essentially where the quick look picks up. I was interested in Dust: An Elysian Tai...
Grow Home is a lovely game that perfectly balances frustration and progress. It's about a red anthropomorphic robot who has an uncanny ability to climb, and who grows a Jack-and-the-Beanstalk-style beanstalk from sea level to space, where its trusty spaceship is waiting. To grow the space stalk, the player has to plug vines that the robot (B.U.D.) rides like the dragon dog from Never Ending Sto...
This isn't what the title screen looks like for the version I got from Steam Full Disclosure: I think I've played something like 2/3 of this game, based on the in-game meter that seems to tell you how far you've gotten. I never saw anything that looked like this in my playthrough To the Moon is a game that I feel like I should enjoy more. I'm a bit concerned that part of the reason I didn't lik...
I've got a ton of games on Steam that I've never played but want to. I've also got some games that I never finished ( The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim !) and I want to wrap up. I've also got a game of Terraria going. There aren't any rules really, and I don't have a particular timeline, but I'll try to play a game and write a little bit about my experience whenever I can. Today, I played Space Ace ....
On Jar Time With Jeff (11-1-2011), Jeff made an interesting comment. He said that what bothered him about the portrayal of game characters as sexy for the purpose of alluring leering men into buying the games offended him. He was careful to say, on the other hand, that it wasn’t the sexism of the portrayal of women in this way that bothered him. Then he went on to say that he particularly found...
Apple banned Phone Story. In doing so, they attempted to keep control of the space of ideas that you can access in the Apple space; whether you believe Apple's story (that the app violated their terms because it depicted abuses of children or other violations of the terms for the App Store) or the dev's story (that the app was banned because it was critical of Apple), the truth is that Apple wa...
Edit: Changed the title to make it a bit less controversial and more representative of the content of the article. With the release of the kinect, there has been a lot of discussion in the comments and the forum about Jeff and Ryan, and their bodies. As a social scientist I have complicated feelings about this. Obviously, there is some aspect of G.I.F.T happening here, but even in more supporti...
