Lucas Pope, creator of the wonderful Papers, Please, has a new project in the works. The new game, Return of the Obra Dinn, is still a long way from completion but Mr. Pope’s previous game and the one image already has me excited. In Obra Dinn you play as an insurance adjustor for the East India Company. In 1802 a ship named the Obra Dinn set sail towards the Cape of Good Hope. It missed it arrival time and was said to be lost at sea. Six years later the boat floats...
Gamers round the world, some bearly awake, watched in dissipation to the Atlas Livestream this morning. Four new games were announced: Persona Q: Shadows of the Labyrinth, a chibi dungeon crawler for 3DS; Persona 4: Arena 2, a sequel to the loved fighting game for PS3; and Persona 4: Dancing All Night, which is… a dancing game for the Vita. While those are all fine, Atlas waited until the beary end of the stream to announce the real juggernaut, Persona 5. No real...

Breath deep the air of a traditional JRPG.
PETA is known for some pretty crazy antics; from tossing flower on celebrities to making strange Mario games. So when I heard the news that they had made a Pokemon game to spread Bidoof beating awareness I just brushed it off. However, curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to see what this game was about. Now I am not going to start preaching about the abuse of imaginary animals, but I will tell you that this game is quite good. Ok, so maybe good is not the best...
If you told me last year that a zombie adventure game would be in top ranking for my Game of the Year I would have laughed in your face. And now here we are, with only two episodes left and I could not be more excited. Last episode broke me; here’s hoping that this episode can live up to that high.
You like card games right? Sure you do. You also like table top games correct? “Well duh” is an appropriate response. Well then let me tell you about a game called Minion Master. The basic gameplay is as follows. You have a deck of virtual cards that you have built for matches. During a match you will receive five of those cards at a time. Each one of the cards has a “Play” and “Discard” point value. When you discard a card you are then able to use those points...
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well “they” are wrong; the true way to a man’s heart is through video game goofs and puns. That is at least how Guacamelee forcefully lodged its way into my chest. On top of the puns, which I frankly would have settled for, lies some amazing gameplay. This game is as Metriodvania as Metroidvania can get. In my short time with the demo I used a super uppercut to reach a high ledge, learned how to wall...
While planning for PAX there were multiple skype meetings between the staff that was attending the show. During almost every single meeting I tried to convince everyone to go see Orc Attack with me, it never worked. Near the end of our last meeting before the convention I was able to make Austin agree to go with me; after I told him you could fart to attack. So during PAX we would walk by the booth, always with somewhere else to be, and say “We gotta get to Orc Attack.”...
