What Minecraft is good for

I like to imagine Notch living in a palatial estate, thinking up new ways users can create viral content with his game. I mean, I like Minecraft. I like Minecraft a lot. But I think I’ve watch more of other,

Review: Cthulhu Saves the World

There aren’t enough games made about Cthulhu. Point of fact. Ancient, eldritch alien evils of insanity are, frankly, a lot better than grandstanding idiots, various varieties of demons, and the lord Jesus Christ. This is empirical fact. And hell, Cthulhu

Mass Effect 2 (PS3) prediction

I’m going to channel my inner Michael Pachter here and make a bold prediction: Mass Effect 2 for the Playstation 3 will fail. It will move some copies, yes, but it’s unclear whether BioWare will even recoup the mild investment
