2 CommentsWhat’s the difference between a category and a tag?
I’ve been asked that question a number of times, and the answer always escapes me. Reading that Microsoft will be redesigning their Xbox interface, dropping fixed sections and adopting a non-hierarchical structure reminded me of tags vs. categories. Now I think the difference between the two is paradigm sized.
CommentMy friends and colleagues in Space Time Foam have just launched their latest offering, Chase Ace Deluxe. It’s a fast paced retro space shooter featuring awesome ’splosions. You really need to watch a video (or another video) to see what it’s all about, and why their 15$ price tag is a bargain.
3 CommentsCrayon Physics Deluxe is a 2D physics puzzle game, in which you get to experience what it would be like if your drawings would be magically transformed into real physical objects.
Deluxe indeed. Nintendo DS anyone?
2 CommentsScummVM [for DS] is an interpreter that allows you to play many point and click adventure games from the 80s and 90s on modern computers. [...] ScummVM runs games from Lucasarts that were created using the SCUMM system (hence the name) but it has also been expanded to run games from many other developers too. [...] This means that you can play all these classic games on the DS with full sound.
One please.
CommentThe excellent GameTrailers.com Final Fantasy retrospective is complete. Go on and watch it on your second screen while you’re working.
CommentDue to motion sickness I have not yet had the distinct pleasure of enjoying what I’m told is art, namely Bioshock. I have, however, seen others play it, so at least I can enjoy father and daughter as big daddy and little sister, all dressed up for Halloween.
2 CommentsI’m enjoying more and more the Gametrailers.com “video game retrospectives”. Most recently, the Metroid retrospective took me back to the first, classic, NES 8-bit adventure. Those were the days. Be sure to also catch the retrospectives on Zelda and Final Fantasy.
CommentIt is the timeless battle of the sexes. Rose and Camellia is a game about women slapping eachother. Coming to Nintendo DS soon.
CommentToday is the day the teaser trailer for Fallout 3 launches. While we are standing by for the video, here’s an ode to what made the Fallout 3 hype what it is today.
Fallout 2 is a tile-based, isometric, post-apocalyptic role-playing game. It is the partially inspired by the Mad Max films, a sequel to Fallout and in my opinion, the best of all the Fallout games. Here’s a small list of what made Fallout 2 excellent.

The first official word from Bethesda since they recently acquired the Fallout 3 license. PipBoy is back!
7 CommentsArmed with Final Fantasy 3 on my DS, the other day I was following the intricacies of a standard Final Fantasy quest. Explore the dungeon - fight the monsters - approach the throne - fight the baddie - save the crystal. The predictable formula made me wonder: What if life were more like an RPG? I imagine …

4 CommentsThe Knytt was abducted by an alien! Traveling through space, the UFO flies into a meteor and crashes on a nearby planet. Luckily, the Knytt and the alien survive, but the UFO is a wreck. How can the Knytt possibly find its way back home again?
2 CommentsRemember Dune II? If you don’t, you missed out on a great game and probably the founding father of the real time strategy genre. If you did play it back in the days, however, you’re likely to fondly remember the delicate balance of harvesting spice while protecting against sandworm attacks, all the while building up your base and preparing your sonic tanks to charge into a Harkonnen base.
22 CommentsSince I purchased a DS lite a while back, Nintendo has reinvigorated my interest in videogames. The last time I had any interest in videogames (as in not PC games) was a time when the best console was called “Super Nintendo”.
Enter the Wii. Point the remote control at where you want to go, make [...]
