Trials Evolution is very much a zone game. Sit down to play it and two hours will whip by in what seems like minutes. Coffee will go cold and the dishes will ferment that little bit longer. The only proof of time’s passage is the slight twinge of RSI in your wrist and shoulder from [...]
Lately, I’ve been enjoying audio books as I go walking. My current book is Stephen Fry’s The Fry Chronicles. In it, he talks about his time reviewing books and how, one day, “the stinker” arrived on his doorstep – the novel so bad that it incited a torrent of vitriol to be spewed across the [...]

See, we haven’t just been lazing around! Pixel Hunt 17 is available right now and for the first time ever you can order an actual physical copy to keep with you always and hug at night time! This relaunch of sorts features a complete redesign, a new delivery platform in MagCloud (you can download the [...]
Dylan: It’s nice to see indie games focus primarily on story and not over-reach what is possible on a small budget and limited programming team.
