    An Open Letter to Ellie and Joel

    By Softballchic10

    There are certain games that come along from time to time that really get your attention. It could be for the action, the graphics or game play. However, it is a rare occasion that a game grabs you for all of these, plus the amazing experience of becoming emotionally attached and involved in the actions of characters. It is to this that I write this open letter to Ellie and Joel. I met them in the “The Last of Us.” *(Please note that I've tried to write this to contain no spoilers.

Inescapable Review

<p><a href="http://www.magneticrealms.com/">Magnetic Realms</a>â <b>Inescapable </b>is a Metroidvania-style indie game of admirable constraint and deliberateness. Even for a one-man Amiga homage, it never overreaches in its pursuit of a specific type of gaming minimalism. In this day and age, this in turn creates a style, and atmosphere, that is much its own.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; di

Raindrop and the Art of the Kickstarter Pitch

These days, almost all promising, mainstream-enough video game Kickstarters (and, to a lesser extent, Indiegogos) seem to attract enough traction and interest to succeed. Offhand, I am unable to recall one single notable project that would not have succeeded as of late, especially if self-cancelled projects are counted out of the equation. Alas, one such project is now in great danger of going undeservedly unfunded. Early this month, I tweeted to Andy Kelly how I had – much like him – been abso

Anodyne Review

<p><a href="http://www.anodynegame.com/"><b>Anodyne</b></a>, a top-down action-adventure by indie devs Sean Hogan and Jonathan Kittaka, is one that I doubt I would have touched if not for the all-new, shiny, and glittering <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/">Steam Trading Cards</a>. (Valve are very, <em>very</em> shrewd.) That Anodyne’s in-game progression is <em>also</em> tied to gathering collectible cards in-game
