I haven’t posted a game here in ages, because I think you should all be doing some work. But now it’s time to slack back, and get to grips with this little puzzler. Minim is a “get rid of everything on the screen” type of game that has you combining numbered atoms in a molecule. [...]

A Song of Ice and Fire, now in game form

Such a weird day for news. Turns out that, unlike certain games becoming books, certain books are now becoming games. George R.R. Martin’s excellent Song of Ice and Fire series has been opted for a video game. Expect the game to look and feel a lot like Oblivion and other such WJRPGs.
My feeling about books-turned-games [...]

Today’s weird game: Acievement unlocked

Some games are odd, and some are just plain weird. Achievement Unlocked takes the idea of unlocking achievements–the kind that console games love so much–to a whole new level. The game’s premise is simple. There are a bunch of achievements, unlock them! Some of the achievements are decidedly silly, but I actually disagree with the [...]
