Opinion by Harvard L. Much like the game itself, Kentucky Route Zero’s rather delayed third act popped up without warning a few days ago, beckoning players back into the surrealist underground highway. As if a well kept secret, hidden to all but those who look for it, Act III is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Child of Light is a poem, both literally and figuratively. I resist to even call it a game; it simply stands as a testament to the true artistry that an interactive work can achieve when a developer is allowed to simply create. Clearly unburdened by commercial…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Cloudbuilt had me excited from the very first screenshot. Here’s a platformer inspired by freerunning, set in a picturesque landscape floating in the skies. Freerunning games are a lot of fun to play since they are a fusion of precision and creativity – it combines two…

Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. There’s an interesting thread that’s popped up at NeoGAF. Someone with a lot of time on their hands has helpfully compiled a list of 201 publications where The Last Of Us has won game of the year. This list annoys me greatly because The Last Of…
