Vainglory for iOS
If you enjoy MOBA-style games like Fates Forever, you're gonna love Vainglory.
Fates Forever for iPad
My latest gaming obsession is Fates Forever—a 3v3 MOBA game in the vein of League of Legends and DoTA, but built for touchscreens. You choose one of nine unique heroes (with more slated to release soon) and are placed on a team with two other characters (bots or online players, depending on the mode you choose). As you face off against another…
Broken Age for iPad
Oh man I'm excited. Broken Age—a PC game I wrote about not long ago—is now available for iPad. If you've already played it, this is the same point-and-click (point-and-tap?) adventure you know and love. The wonderful soundtrack and voice acting are all still there, as well as the gorgeous, hand-painted design aesthetic. If you haven't had the chance to play this delightful…
TwoDots for iOS
From the makers of the popular (and super addictive) iOS game Dots comes its new sequel, TwoDots. The basic gameplay is the same: connect vertical or horizontal rows of same-colored dots to remove them and allow other dots to drop down, or connect them in a square pattern to eliminate all dots of that color from the screen. As you progress through…
‘Console Wars’ by Blake J. Harris
When I was a kid, nothing caused more heated arguments between me and my friends than our game consoles of choice. As a Sega fanboy at the time—and a hardcore PlayStation enthusiast later—I was always in the minority at school. Console Wars, a new book by Blake J. Harris, explores the actual rivalry between the Nintendo and Sega corporations that took place…
Osmo
Here's another cool iPad thing for kids. Osmo is a system consisting of an iPad stand (which works with pretty much any iPad but the original model) and a mirror attachment that fits over the iPad's front-facing camera to redirect it downward. Once attached, Osmo lets you load up one of three games that scans real-world objects in front of your iPad…
15 Coins for iOS
15 Coins is a game for iPhone and iPad that's sort of a mix between Pac-Man, Snake, and Tilt to Live. You control a little ship that constantly moves forward, turning left or right at your command. Your goal is to collect 15 coins to pass the level, but the trick is to avoid the constantly spawning clones of yourself that appear…
Transistor for PS4 and PC
From the makers of the ever-popular Bastion comes the new game Transistor, a sci-fi themed action-RPG with lush graphics and an awesome soundtrack. You can watch the reveal trailer and the launch trailer to see the game in action, both of which are way better than me trying to describe it. Transistor is available for $20 on the PS4 and on Steam…
