Forget Stick And Stones; Words Will Hurt You In Apexicon Kickstarter
November 7th - via: indiestatik.com
We love words at Indie Statik. In fact, we’re so tickled by their delightful connotations that we type thousands every day just so we can stare at their beauty on-screen. Sometimes, they have a point. Other times, it may just be pointless babbling. For all intents and purposes, we’ve entered into a domestic partnership with words, pre-nup pending. (Read More)

Letters, Red In Tooth And Claw: Apexicon Kickstarter
November 5th - via: rockpapershotgun.com
Forget Plants vs Zombies and Peggle – I’m still waiting for the next Bookworm Adventures game. Using words as a weapon is (almost) always fun. Why, if Subutai’s CLANG had been called SCRIBBLE and been about wielding pens instead of swords, we’d all be happily writing virtual reality letters to one another right now. Apexicon is a Kickstarter for a wordy game and the campaign page that opens with a torrent of namechecks, like a rapper making a comeback and thanking his crew. I say torrent but there are only three names – Puzzle Quest, Scrabble and Bookworm Adventures. Actos Games are hoping to create a fusion of those three. (Read More)
