My wishlist swells this week, with additions from PAX East and from the coming week’s release list. But this week my heart belongs to Extinction.

I soared until I was sore, but I swore I’d get the high score.

Ever since I can remember, gaming has been a part of my life. When my family moved and we were the only house for miles, I had gaming on my Super Nintendo. On long car rides to Maryland, I had (portable) gaming with my Gameboy. When I went off to college and didn’t know how to make friends, I kept my door open and invited people walking by to come in to play Last Night On Earth.

Okay, I’m going to give a friendly bit of advice to all of you budding game developers out there: If you’re going to make a little indie game that you hope will catch fire like a Minecraft, or an FTL, or a H1Z1 PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Fortnite, then give it a title that is easy to find with a search engine.

Navigate a bizarre desert wasteland with nothing but a pair of Groucho Marx glasses and a portable sound mixer in this surreal point-and-click adventure.

So many games with so many questions to ask this week.
