Your Weekend Is Going To Be Horrible. Bring Some Gaming Apps.

Look, I am really sorry you are heading into the worst weekend of your life. I’d try to warn you, tell you what sorts of people, places and things to avoid, but fate doesn’t work that way.


I’m Too Old For This Week In Gaming Apps S**t

You kids get off of my lawn! Damn, that really does feel good. I turned 40 on Wednesday, so excuse me if I didn’t play as many gaming apps this week as you young people did. These old eyes aren’t what they used to be.


This Week In Gaming Apps Has Nothing To Do With Mass… Dammit, Shepard!

I don’t care if he does endorse Kotaku’s weekly roundup of the gaming apps we played and reviewed, there is absolutely no reason for Commander Shepard to show up in the mosaic image. No, it doesn’t that he had his own mobile game a few years back.


Moving Is No Excuse For Skipping This Week In Gaming Apps

I’m not even supposed to be here today, but the portable nature of mobile gaming means that even in the middle of packing everything I own and putting it in another place, I still have time to play a lot of titles. Yay.


This Week In Gaming Apps

This week: A huge week for mobile running games, ridiculously good sword-combat, strategy titles, a gorgeous 3rd person shooter with a real Painkiller vibe, and more.

App Review: An Abstract Puzzler In The Most Artistic Sense

Dutch painters in the early 1800s sure knew how to combine lines and colours. They called the movement “De Stijl”, which is Dutch for “easily replicated in Photoshop” (or possibly “The Style”), and artist Piet Mondrian was one of its prime movers. His Composition series defined the style, inspiring artists of all types to this very day — even game developers.


App Review: My Perfect World Is Populated By Pixel People

A game designer is a combination of a programmer and an artist. A preacher is a philosopher and a dreamer combined. Meld a magician and a scientist and you have a wizard. This is how the world works in LambdaMu Games’ Pixel People — simple, elegant and endlessly entertaining.


Suggestion: Play Leap Day Today When You Should Be Working

Right now, instead of reading this, you could be playing Leap Day. If you have the Unity plug-in in your browser and your teacher/professor/boss isn’t looking, go do it.


App Review: Dungeon Quest Is A Free Dose Of Heavily Distilled Diablo

The opening screenshot for this review of Shiny Box’s Android action role-playing game isn’t very flattering. That’s because every time I picked up my Nexus 7 to capture a screen I ended up playing Dungeon Quest for another half-hour instead.
