I've heard many complaints about RPG fetch quests. Complaints like “they're annoying”, “ they're unnecessary” or “ they're totally unrealistic”. I've heard many of these complaints from my own mouth when yelling at my monitor at 2am. Yet if you stop to think, how much of your day involves doing equally mundane tasks for others?

We The Giants

While there's decades of evidence for the ability of a game's social commentary to affect us, there's few games that go the extra mile and add intentional meaning.

Galcon Fusion

Posted by Allen "Pyroman[FO]" Cook –
Galcon Fusion is the essential real-time strategy game--the genre boiled down to it's essence. It's a simple game that remains addicting and fun despite being able to count the rules on one hand.

Knight of the Living Dead

Sometimes I like to just have brainless fun. I know I'm supposed to be featuring some innovative game with an art style that gives you a contact buzz just looking at it, but occasionally I just enjoy a simple game that's fun to play.

Platformers have a long and honored tradition in game design. From Super Mario Brothers to Braid, 2D platformers represent the full gamut of attitudes and ideas about game design. In the indie space the genre seems to be the favorite place for experimentation, with countless entries uploaded to major Flash portals every day.

Every Day The Same Dream

Posted by Allen "Pyroman[FO]" Cook –
After the multi-colored feast for the eyes that is the holidays, the work week seems pretty dreary. The same desk, the same routine, and even a never ending landscape of white for many this week. It's a perfect time to play a thoroughly depressing game about a man stuck in a boring routine of office work and traffic.

Saira

Posted by Allen "Pyroman[FO]" Cook –
Saira finds herself in a world devoid of human life. Something happened while Saira was in the middle of teleporting home to Mars and now she's seemingly the only human being in existence. She has to piece together what happened to humanity by literally piecing together a teleporter – in hopes she can find out what happened.
