IndieCade 2014: Mini Metro
Living in the Los Angeles area has been my first encounter with a metropolitan rail system. I was not an eager adopter, by any means, but now that I’ve spent the better part of a year using the LA Metro for nearly all of my transportation needs, I (mostly) adore it. Because of this, while walking around the Game Showcase today at IndieCade, Mini Metro stood out more than its vibrant minimali...[Read More]
IndieCade 2014: Close Castles
I only had a couple of hours to spend at IndieCade today, and only a couple more that I can spare over the weekend, so I’m reduced to brief experiences with many of the festival’s offerings. One of the most memorable to come out of today was a game called Close Castles, from the maker of Threes. It was quick, smooth, and incredibly fun. Close Castles is a real-time strategy tower defen...[Read More]

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris PAX Prime Hands-On
On the second day of PAX I went to the Square Enix booth for a chance to play Hitman and was surprised with an opportunity to sit down and play the four player cooperative mode of Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. You can remember Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris being announced during E3 2014. One of the members of my team was the Crystal Dynamics brand manager, Rich Briggs. I was excited t...[Read More]

I had played Evolve before ...[Read More]

Is Fish Plays Pokemon the new Twitch Plays Pokemon?
As someone who’s taken part of the Twitch Plays Pokemon fad, I’ve enjoyed any and all streams that use the feature. Recently, the collective was able to beat Pokemon X. However, last night while me and friends (other twitch casters) were talking away on Team Speak about future games we’d be casting along with normal everyday life topics. At one point one informed of us of a nice ...[Read More]
New Sims 4 Trailer Released Shows-off the Emotions of a Sim
If you’re like me you have a big interest in the Sims franchise you can’t help but be interested in a game such as Sims 4. I first got my addiction during the original game that starting it all, but life got in the way. I’m not talking about Sim City either since we all know how that went down with each release. Anyways, today EA has released a new trailer that features the emoti...[Read More]
