Kickstarter Feature: Space Command

I have to admit, I've got a soft spot for old, kitschy science fiction.  Space Command is quite appealing -- a classic science fiction movie, made by veterans of the industry.  At worst, it'll be the next Plan 9 From Outer Space.  At best, it'll remind us why we're all nerds to begin with.

Review: The Secret World

 The Secret World is a game that's hard to define in a handful of words.  The closest I can come up with is "modern urban fantasy horror MMO", and say it's something refreshing to play after years of grinding in fantasy MMOs.

The Secret World: Quickstarter

I'll be publishing my review of The Secret World on Monday.  In the meantime, here are a few things that those of you who preordered should probably know to get you on your feet more quickly.  This pre-empted what I had posted for today, given the fact that these tips will be more useful now, and would not particularly be useful after a day or two.  Here you go.

Kickstarter Feature: Clang!

Neil Stephenson is perhaps one of my favorite authors.  I'm a particular fan of his take on Cyberpunk, Snow Crash.  I was quite surprised when I saw him being the onus behind a new title on Kickstarter: Clang.  Apparently, when he's not wanting our book money, he's playing with sharp objects, and this is the result.

Shazbot!

I started playing multiplayer games more frequently after 2002, when I moved away from dial-up, and in many ways, I missed the Tribes series because of it.  Luckily, Tribes: Ascend has come out recently, and is showing me just how different a shooter can be.

Old is New: Cyberpunk

With CD Project Red's recent announcement that they would take a stab at making a CRPG set in the Cyberpunk 2020 universe, I decided to take a look at a trend I've noticed.

Kickstarter Feature: Dead State

I've got a soft spot for all the Black Isle alums.  They've made some of the most memorable gaming experiences I've had, and they promote a number of the concepts of an ideal game that I hold dear: open sandbox worlds, game-play over graphics, role-playing, and intriguing themes.  This week's Kickstarter Feature is no exception -- a kitschy little survival horror RPG called Dead State.
