Breaking Up With "League of Legends."
Hi everybody, I’m Kevin and I have a problem with games. (Muffled chorus: Hi Kevin.) I’ve uninstalled Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri because I stopped doing anything else. I’d sit down to play at my desk for fifteen minutes and then

The Next Step: Towns is Everything Minecraft Isn't
The first time the spiders attacked, I wasn’t prepared. A legion of black chittering death-bringers led by the red commander that loomed over the rest had decided that my small agricultural hamlet had had it too easy for too long.

Getting lost in Proteus: An interview with Ed Key
One of the remarkable things a game can offer is the ability to get lost in a world–to go on journeys, to explore. Few games can truly capture the idyllic, child-like magic of a good saunter–most of the time, traveling
