    An Open Letter to Ellie and Joel

    By Softballchic10

    There are certain games that come along from time to time that really get your attention. It could be for the action, the graphics or game play. However, it is a rare occasion that a game grabs you for all of these, plus the amazing experience of becoming emotionally attached and involved in the actions of characters. It is to this that I write this open letter to Ellie and Joel. I met them in the “The Last of Us.” *(Please note that I've tried to write this to contain no spoilers.

The Slowdown

Steam Treasures: SteamWorld Dig Review

It’s time to bring back our Steam Treasures series. With hundreds and hundreds of titles now receiving the all-important right to be on Steam – through Valve’s Greenlight initiative (that Gabe Newell now wants to do away with) – the idea of a “jewel” of an indie game somehow “making” it through to the service (against all odds!!) no longer carries the same much any weight. Where Valve’s standards may have changed (for better or worse), ours haven’t: In this series, we review budget-sized, budg

Dreams of the Red King

A bunch of random thoughts related to discussion coming up around the closure of Irrational Games

<p>What bugs me about people who rip into the stories of games which try to tell good, interesting stories but fail (at least in the eyes of the people doing the ripping), like, for example, Bioshock Infinite, is that the language used to mock the games often comes in the form of saying “Games can’t tell good stories, why should you try?”</p> <p>Not that they’re saying games can’t be art – they know that games can be art, and often the people saying these things want more game

The Slowdown

Being Saved in Actual Sunlight

One of last year’s remarkable critical success stories, Actual Sunlight, is being currently remade into 3D by developer Will O’Neill. The game is testing waters on Steam Greenlight, and a demonstrative beta build of the new 3D version can be downloaded on the developer’s website. The game is a “short interactive story about love, depression and the corporation”: Inspired by the game’s resurgence in 3D, I would very much like to go back in time (it’s not like we get second chances very often!)
