A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Let me quickly summarize Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf in case you won’t read my entire article. You really should play this game. Seriously! It is a heartfelt, thoughtful, quality 6-hour adventure that hits hard and gives me hope. Why does it give me hope? Because let’s be honest. The last handful […]
Published by Ratalaika and sold for $5, Soulshard is a concise precision platformer than can be played with one or two players in co-op. It only takes a half hour to clear all 31 stages so it doesn’t have a chance to over stay its welcome. With the exception of the final stage, each level […]
Published by CraePlay, Glint’s Revenge a broken, incomplete mess of a 2D platformer. However, it is so bad that it actually comes recommended. Not for entertainment value but as a lesson for how not to make a game. If I was teaching a game design 101 class, I would use Glint’s Revenge as a learning […]

Published by EastAsiaSoft and ticketed at $20, Book of Korvald is a meaty 2D side-scrolling action adventure. If you can look beyond the low budget marionette visuals and shoddy hit detection, there is an impressive quest here. With his village destroy and family killed, Korvald is a journalist who is brutally tortured. Blinded and on […]
Craeplay’s MOTE: Workshop is a 10-minute walking-simulator that offers an easy, low-cost Platinum trophy but not much else. At least it knows not to overstay its welcome.
