Each clip shows off various gameplay concepts and character interactions, but realistically you’re just going to be giggling and squealing like an infant as the adorable […]

At the recent PAX conference, I spent some time talking to the guys from Destineer. You may remember them from this hands-on piece I wrote that seemed to confuse and terrify most of you, and today I’m bringing you some hands-on impressions of another one of their titles: Wordjong.
