    —

    ,

    I had such a blast playing through this game. I loved it from start to finish, except for one part of the final mission that wanted me to go in guns blazing, and I refused to do so because I’d played the entire game stealthy and pretty much never using a gun (and after like…

  • Pokémon Moon

    ,

    Well, now I know that Pokémon games just aren’t for me. I’d never played a proper Pokémon game before (had never had an interest), but decided to take Pokémon Moon out for a spin, just to try and understand why so many people love these games. I put in 2 hours, and just couldn’t get…

    Some very good news indeed, as we learn through Famitsu that a 5th edition of Japan’s premiere indie game event, the Kyoto-based BitSummit, is officially happening. Not only that, but instead of a sweaty July date, they’ve decided to move up the event a bit to May (it will be held on the 20th and 21st).…

  • Koya Bound, the Website

    —

    , ,

    You’ll of course remember Koya Bound, the beautiful photography book that Craig Mod and Dan Rubin recently Kickstarted, covering one of the annual (or is it bi-annual) walks that Craig likes to do. Part of the Kickstarter promise was to launch the content of the book as its own website, and that site has now…
