Eterium – Reviewed

April 15th - via: cliqist.com
I’m not normally the kind of guy who cares about sci-fi storylines. For whatever reason, my interests always trended toward the technology of today with no consideration for Star Trek, Star Wars, or Battlestar Galactica. Yet, Wing Commander entered my life as a far future flight sim and blew me away. Eterium has managed to cause the same reaction in me again thanks to its roots in classic space combat games. (Read More)

Kickstarter Katchup – 28th July 2013

July 28th - via: rockpapershotgun.com
Two big wins this week and both are projects that I’ve been intrigued by since I first saw them. Lacuna Passage is the game about mysteries on Mars, using real topography of the Red Planet, and Satellite Reign is the Syndicate successor that promises an emergent cyberpunk city.

Kickstarter Katchup – 21st July 2013

July 21st - via: rockpapershotgun.com
There have been plenty of weeks with no losers and several winners, but I can’t remember compiling this column and finding losers without winners to sit above them. There are lots of projects that are readying themselves for a spot in the winners’ section though, propped on the podium, parading their plaudits. Dungeonmans and Tangiers are my current favourites, with Monochroma not far behind. It’s a busy week though and there should be something for everyone. Except sports fans. Nothing for sports fans. Probably the least Kickstarted genre actually. Licensing issues to blame? (Read More)
