If geeks love it, we’re on it
More than anything else, the convergence of accessibility to high technology and a generation of adults who grew up as gamers means that those grownups are able to realize the dreams of creating movies and songs based on the games they grew up with. I submit as a case in point: Add comment

With Icrontic’s mention of Rogue – the free in-game web browser, I got excited and decided to give it a shot. I’ve been wanting an in-game solution to web browsing for a long time. I’ve felt that one of the best ways to improve Steam gaming would be to allow web browsing through their community […] Add comment
Yes, I said jerks. They’re jerks because they made an amazing game that I want to play and I can’t because I’m broke and eating ramenchili everyday and even if I had the game I wouldn’t have time to play it because I’m so busy writing stuff like this and I have two kids and […] Add comment
This game has entranced me today. The colors, the music, the simplicity. It’s almost a form of meditation. I urge you to ask no questions – just go and play Auditorium. Auditorium is a thing of beauty. As they say in their documentation, it is about finding whatever solution best suits you; it is about discovery […] Add comment
The look of excitement on my face quickly dissolved away to disappointment as I read that Mirror’s Edge had been delayed on PC.

The casual of the day is yet another entry into the tower defense genre, but I think it is a highly refined one. It’s called Flash Element TD2 from the Casual Collective. Casual Collective is famous for the original Desktop Tower Defense, but I personally prefer this more colorful game with pre-determined tracks. The principle […] Add comment

The NxE stands for “New Xbox Experience” and is the replacement for the venerable Dashboard interface that debuted with the Xbox 360 in 2005. I fired up our 360 this morning […] Add comment
It is my firm belief that kids who game generally grow up to become talented, creative, and driven people. I know the media would like to portray them as deviants who gun down innocents, and extremists (who sometimes get disbarred and can no longer practice law) go on crusades to paint video games as pure […] Add comment
Now normally, a game like this wouldn’t pass muster, even as a casual of the day. However, this one comes with a special challenge. My friend Janelle got an absolutely outlandish high score in this game: 50490. I figured I would use my powers to rally the IC community to beat this score. I remember […] Add comment
This originally appeared in the blog of RollEggroll, also known as {IC} Eggroll. Eggroll has been playing fighting games since he was six years old, and now plays competitively. Hadouken!

Castle Crashers is what happens when a bunch of guys like me get together to make a game. That’s the conclusion I’ve arrived at after spending a few hours playing this game with my cohorts… err, kids. I’ve always been a fan of games with twisted humor. Psychonauts is one of my all-time favorites, for […] Add comment

Two years old today! Congratulations to the sleek black box. I remember fondly the speculation, intrigue, and anticipation that the internet was abuzz with leading up to the release of the mystery machine.
