There’s this thing that developers of open world games have been fond of saying a lot lately: If you can see it, you can travel to it. It’s meant to be an awe-inspiring statement about how rich and full the world is, but every time I hear it I roll my eyes. See, not only…

I’m not really a video game t-shirt guy, nor am I a Zelda guy. But I do think this shirt is pretty good because it’s slightly obtuse. Obviously we know what it means to visit Hyrule is but not everybody who might see you walking around with this design on your chest or the back…

Why Failing In Gods Will Be Watching Is As Good As Winning
There’s a new indie point-and-click game called Gods Will Be Watching out now. The Steam reviews are pretty down on it, and the critics’ reviews aren’t so hot either. But I love it for the same reasons others hate it: it’s a cruel game that dares to make you fail through no fault of your…
