  • Killjoys

    Been a while since I’ve found a good sci-fi series to watch, and I continue to sample new things that come out. Latest of which is Killjoys, that just had its premiere, from the creators of Orphan Black. Only 1 episode so far, but I think it shows promise. It’s shot pretty stylishly, and the…

  • Mario Kart 7

    Last month, as I was feeling sad because the new tracks were getting released for Mario Kart 8 and I didn’t have access to my Wii U (it was sent by sea from Japan), I broke down and picked up Mario Kart 7 for 3DS (the fact that it was on sale was further incentive).…

    This sure is an interesting game, with really neat use of touch on the Vita, tons of great ideas, and a unique aesthetic. But as much I’m enjoying playing it, I do have a big issue with any sequence that demands the use of 2 fingers at the same time – like moving forward and…

  • Montreal, Here I Come

    I’m incredibly happy to announce that I will be joining the Square Enix family at Eidos Montreal, as part of the Shinra Technologies team.  This whole thing I started back in January, with a plan to leave Japan, move back to North America, and find work in the game industry has actually worked out, and I’m…

    I remember the days when fall was when you’d get excited for new TV seasons, and now, for me, it’s always this time of the year, as I get all of my favorite shows in one go: Mad Men, Louie, and Game of Thrones – and this year I got the fantastic Daredevil as well.…

    Louie, Louie, Louie, Louiiiiiiiie… Oh man, not only is Louie back, but this first episode of the new season was so damn Louie, especially the “sex scene.” Good to have you back, Louis.

  • Card Crawl

    ,

    Another iOS game I’ve been really enjoying of late is actually similar to Donsol. Card Crawl is also a dungeon crawler that you play with a deck of cards, with a lot of the interactions similar to what you do in Donsol, but with enough differences (extra items, more about the final score) to make…

    This is the latest iOS game from Aliceffekt – although a collaboration this time, with John Eternal (the result of something they worked on during a recent train game jam) – and it’s fun as hell. It’s a dungeon crawler but played with regular playing cards that represent creatures/enemies, potions, and shields. There’s a simplicity…
