News::Should Indie Games Provide Suggested Ratings?

SteamFirst: Here we are again at the crossroads of gaming and maturity. The rise of independent games has grown beyond control and thats a good thing. This means the restrictions that creative teams faced are all but gone. The goal of getting your game idea into the hands of people who will appreciate it is much closer than you think. But this amount of freedom means theres almost no control over the maturity and content of games.

News::Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Review | Geekenstein

"With Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 released in such a shallow, boring, and inconsistent state, Count Dracula would have been better off left in his coffin. In the mixed bag of its exsistance, you may occasionally pull out something wonderful, but more often than not, youll get something dull and disappointing." - Christian Mincks of Geekenstein

News::Mass Effect 3 Retrospective Review

Continue Play: "Mass Effect 3 is okay. I know Im committing a sin of journalistic review by using an ambiguous term to describe the most recent game in a series thats cemented itself as a standard for videogame storytelling. Theres not much I can do about that. Thats my honest opinion. Its not phenomenal; its not atrocious. Its just okay."

News::SteamFirst: Gone Home Review

SteamFirst: A lot of places have stories to tell, especially for the ones who live there. I remember being really young and my mom telling me stories of her move from Korea to the states and how every piece of jewelry, furniture, every book, every toy, it all has a story behind it. Gone Home gives you that place, lets you explore it and uncover these things and very gradually tells a story about each of the people who occupy it.

News::Fiddlehead Games release The Floor Is Always Lava

Taken from Fiddlehead Game's personal development blog: Ive developed this really weird habit of developing quick, little games around one type of variable/concept. These have included games like Shadows: The Darkness, Poop Tycoon (a jab at all those damn simulator games) and now The Floor Is Always Lava. I never really intend for these little projects to blossom into anything large, hell most of the time I do them for fun or to kill time while Im sitting at home on my days off. That being said, this is probably the one Im most proud of at this stage. Its fun, fast-paced, and you can play with some buddies. It pretty much takes the concept, and idea behind that game kids would play in their living-rooms but instead of jumping from various pieces of furniture, youre standing in a room thats quickly filling up with lava. Its essentially a last-man standing sort of idea. Ill probably look into adding more features sometime down the road (more maps, achievements, better vi...

News::Banished Review | Quarter to Three

"What really kills Banished for me is the overwhelming sense of pointlessness. There are no goals, no scenarios, no unlockables, no longterm luxury goods or endgame wonders or upper level populations or advanced buildings. There is no finale. There is, instead, a world without end. When your people all starve to death, the clock keeps running. There will be no score, no stats, no records, no monuments, no sign that you were ever even here. It is always and only one of those sandbox games thats more sandbox than game."
