I wanted to like this game, I really did. I played it at PAX during an Xbox showcase that Microsoft had for ID@Xbox developers, and the team behind it were cordial. As a huge fan of FMV games, I was looking forward to this myself. I found myself engrossed by the story and idea of…
I don’t write much about gaming anymore, which is disappointing, but I instead fill my time with development, and an indie development podcast. So this is my one chance to round up my brief, if not disjointed, thoughts on gaming this year. Here’s a quick list of things I’ve played recently, and most of which in…
10 months. 80 hours. That’s how long it took me to play through Persona 4, and with my severe video game ADHD, if I play anything for more than a night, then that’s an accomplishment. Well, it really took a bit more than that, because I earned all 3 endings and died a few…

This weekend I headed down to Philly to visit Armless Octopus EIC, Mike Wall. Fortunately there’s a big gaming scene down there as well, and due to impeccable timing, we were able to hit up the Too Many Games Expo. He said it best; “If PAX was a mall, then this is the flea market.”…
