CultureSteam Snapshots: Energy Hook, Ubermosh, Sky Rogue
Every week, I play a lot of Steam games. Here’s what I think of a few I didn’t get around to writing up. Energy Hook I was really hoping I’d like this one more. It’s a game about swinging and soaring from the person who designed the web-slinging stuff in PS2/Xbox/Gamecube Movie Game That Was…

Wonky Pigeon Sure Is A Game About A Pigeon That Poops On People
I mean, I’m not really sure what else I was expecting. Let me set the scene for you: It was a Friday afternoon much like this one, largely because it was this one. I had just finished taking a ClickHole quiz entitled “Can You Match The Pigeons To The Way They’re Ruining My Whole Life?”…

Matthew Oswald is a cinematic director and motion designer, which is a nice change from the stuff we normally featurehere on Fine Art. Instead of designing the worlds and characters in games, Oswald gets to move them around and shoot them real pretty-like. Below are some examples of his stuff. Because a bunch of people…

Illuminascii definitely doesn’t look like other first-person shooters. Let’s start with a GIF. Look at me kicking down that door! Isn’t that cool? I wish more of Illuminascii felt that good. I’ve been playing the new Steam roguelike FPS for about an hour, and I really wish it was doing more for me. I mean,…

CultureSentris, a game that lets you create music, is out of Early Access. Developed by my friend (and fellow music enthusiast) Samantha Kalman, the game’s puzzles task you with completing songs as you see fit. It’s refreshingly simple despite being kinda tough to describe. Read my thoughts on the Early Access version

CultureCosplayZelda As A Spaghetti Western? Sure, Let’s Run With It
The Zelda series is no stranger to tipping its hat to Westerns. From Spirit Tracks to Gerudo Valley, there’s cowboy blood in Hyrule’s veins. Thing is, it’s always been subtle. This new vid from beatdownboogie, though, throws subtlety out the window. Ganon is a bad cowboy, Zelda is a cowlady and Link, well, Link does…

I hate spiders, and I hate it when games collect my real-world information. Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon should be my nightmare, but it somehow made me enjoy both those things. Spiders are icky. They have too many legs and weird eyes and they don’t meow or bleet or moo or anything to make…
