    I’m not quite sure why I hadn’t played this yet – I did get it when it first came out (on PS3), but for some reason hadn’t played much. Watching all of the Amnesia Fortnight videos put me in a mood to play it again, and I’ve been having such a good time with it.…

  • Beyond: Two Souls

    This was a game from last year I really wanted to play – I did love Heavy Rain – and I’ve finally gotten around to playing it. I must say, it beats Heavy Rain on every level. The story is engaging – and despite the criticism I read, I quite like the fact that it…

    Bar none, this is my favorite reality series. If you’re new to this, every year (or close to it) game studio Double Fine organizes an internal 2-week game jam, with 4-5 game prototypes getting made, and a lot of these games end up become full projects within the studio. The last 2 editions have been…

  • The After

    Since I’ve always been a fan of Chris Carter’s shows (X-Files of course, but even the Lone Gunmen spinoff, and Millennium too) I was really curious to check this out. It’s one of the pilots that Amazon released recently, and I have no idea how they decide whether to order a full season or not,…

    OK, so yeah, like everyone has said before, this is pretty great. I actually went in expecting to be disappointed, as I often am when I watch something that it so hyped, but I did quite like this. I do find the whole thing to be highly prosperous, in terms of her being able to…

  • Eliss Infinity

    I still remember the original Eliss, and it being one of the first cool “art” style games to come out on iOS, as a sign of the truly amazing games we would eventually start seeing on the platform. Eliss is back, this time in the form of Eliss Infinity, and it’s just as fun and…

    I’m pretty sure everyone is already playing this on iOS, and with reason. Everything about this game is stellar, from the art direction, animations, and sound effects, to the simple and addictive gameplay. Make 3s (duh) and then match them to create larger multiples. Pictured here is the highest score I’ve been able to get…

  • Crimson Shroud

    ,

    This is part of Level-5’s Guild series of downloadable games that have been coming out on 3DS, 6 or 7 of them so far (the first 4 were originally released together). The eShop currently has all of them on sale for $3, so I immediately jumped on Crimson Shroud, which I’d had my eye on…
