The Sly Collection

Three years after its PlayStation 3 debut, The Sly Collection has made its way to the PlayStation Vita. 

Sportsfriends

Having friends over for a night of games remains a modern novelty. Sportsfriends will make you wish it was just the norm.

Monochroma

For the night is dark and full of errors.

Transistor

Doing one particular thing well is difficult, and rare is the game that embraces a wealth of available resources and merges them into a symbiotic vision. Transistor, the next title from the folks who brought us Bastion, is one such game.

The Last Tinker: City of Colors

Boundless color and a heart of gold keep The Last Tinker from feeling too old.

Flap Jaw Space: Episode 76

In what’s become another rambling barrage of vicious non-sequiturs, we spend twenty minutes talking about Steve’s full body massage and the surrounding etiquette of such, why Chris quit Facebook, credit card tips for functioning middle class adults, whether or not John Calipari is bad for basketball, 16-bit sports games, and how to properly deal with homeless people aski...[Read More]

Enter the Insurgent P...[Read More]

I was simulating what it’s like to be a goat through Coffee Stain Studio’s Goat Simulator. Like any normal goat, I could bleat, aggressively ward off humans, and use my nine-foot tongue to lick and stick to virtually anything in sight. I’ve been to plent...[Read More]

Brief Observations from the Dead Island: Epidemic beta

I don’t understand MOBA’s. I mean, I sort of get them – I’ve watched Dota 2 surge in popularity and bleed through different odds and ends of the Internet over the last three years and don’t fault anyone’s interest in it or the burgeoning genre – but it seems like a proposition too massive and unwieldy for my particular tastes. The ceiling seems too high an...[Read More]

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea – Episode 2

So light is her footfall...
