Four Splendid Gaming Apps… and NFL Pro 2013
As Owen Good often reminds us, not every Gaming App of the Day is a good one. For every Bad Piggies, The Room or Bar Story 2 there are a dozen NFL Pro 2013s, and he seems to wind up playing them all. Oftentimes we’ll play gaming apps for our daily spotlight based on our…

This Great Mass Effect/Dragon Age Fan Art Kind of Breaks My Brain
I have joked about “Dragon Effect” before, when playing through BioWare’s vaguely parallel science-fiction and fantasy-franchises at the same time. Fan artist Andrew Ryan Art, though, has done one better. Miranda as Morrigan I can actually kind of buy in to. And of course Jack is a dangerous-looking blood mage. For the full set, which…

UncategorizedGuy Tours Ubisoft, Gets Warped to The Tropical World of Far Cry 3
An innocent tour of Ubisoft’s studio sends this poor traveler smack in the middle of the crazy, savage Far Cry 3 world. FinalCutKing’s journey is part beautiful, part incredibly dangerous, much like the game itself will be. There must have been quite a lot of drugs inhaled in that mask.

UncategorizedLike the Saints’ Bounty System, NFL Pro 2013 is Also a Pay-for-Performance Scandal
Unfortunately, this is not one of those App of the Day writeups where the selection is meritorious and the title is an honor. I’m here to dispense consumer advice about NFL Pro 2013, which provides a lot of enticement given the fact it’s free and it has NFL licensing. My advice is to walk around…
