  • The Walking Dead

    —

    ,

    I’ve read the comic series from the very beginning, and only decided to stop reading following the release of last month’s #150 – I’d been growing bored of the series, but I might revisit it later on through trades. As for the TV show, I’ve liked it on and off, but had stopped watching it…

  • Costume Quest: Invasion of the Candy Snatchers

    —

    ,

    I love the Costume Quest games from Double Fine dearly, and I’m a big fan of Zac Gorman’s work. Combine the two for a graphic novel? Yeah, this is a really great book that tells an original story based on the world and characters from the games. If you like the games, you’ll absolutely love…

  • Alex + Ada

    —

    ,

    I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by the Luna Brothers, and although Alex + Ada is by just one of them (Jonathan Luna, along with Sarah Vaughan), it does feel like a proper Luna joint. It’s a near-future tale of a man who receives a lifelike android companion, and then proceeds to give it (her) sentience.…

  • The Witness

    —

    ,

    I really enjoyed my time with Braid, and I was definitely interested to see what Jonathan Blow’s follow-up game would be like. I might not normally have bought this, since I’m not really big into playing puzzle games, but my wife loves them immensely, and so I figured that this was a game that we…

  • Horace and Pete

    —

    ,

    I’ve only watched the first episode – the second episode just dropped – but I’m so far really enjoying this new series from Louis C.K. He was already getting more dramatic than comedic with Louie, and this is definitely more on the dramatic side as well, although taped as a multi-camera sitcom would – and…

  • OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo

    —

    ,

    I really like the idea behind Cartoon Network’s new game, of creating a new series but starting out with a game, not a proper animated cartoon show – this Wired piece explains what they’re up to with this. I was excited to give OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo a try, and I gotta say, it’s…

  • Bayonetta (Super Smash Bros.)

    —

    ,

    I love Bayonetta so damn much – both the character and her two games, which are some of my favorite gaming experiences – and so I was pretty damn happy when they announced that she’d be joining the Super Smash Bros. roster (and you can bet I’ll be getting her amiibo figure as soon as…

  • Nom Nom Galaxy

    —

    ,

    I’ve just had a quick taste of Nom Nom Galaxy – also part of this month’s PlayStation Plus lineup – but it definitely feels nice to be playing a PixelJunk game again (my last one was Shooter 2). It’s not generally the style of game I’m attracted to – building/developing – but just like I…
