The brainchild of independent game developer Johnathan Blow, Braid won the "Innovation in Game Design" award at 2006’s Independent Games Festival and has received almost unanimous […]

I may know next to nothing about the intricacies of programming, but I do know a minimalist 2D version of Portal when I see it.

I have not stopped listening to this Final Fantasy IV cover song since I found it yesterday afternoon. It’s so good! I’ve never even played FF IV!
Game journalists need to grow up, Miyamoto needs to stop talking, Funcom employee gets fired over cybersexing a player, Mushroom Kingdom Fusion looks badass, GayGamer asks us if we […]
