Warframe Players Refuse To Abandon Fortuna 69 (Nice)

I have a theory: The value of a community is directly proportional to its willingness to rally around and fight nearly to the death for deeply dumb things. Warframe players are doing an excellent job of proving it. In Warframe, a co-op sci-fi shooter with MMO elements, instances only stick around for as long as…

I Liked Hoverbike Racing Game Desert Child‘s Pitch More Than Its Execution

At E3, amid the booming explosions of big-budget game trailers and sterile setups for pricy gaming PCs, I stumbled upon a cute racing game called Desert Child. It looked like a western, cyberpunk racer and had some Cowboy Bebop flair, all rendered in chic pixel art, and immediately I was intrigued. Desert Child is a…
