Monday Flash?

After missing last night’s (somewhat) traditional Monday Flash post due to being completely exhausted, my original plan was to make it up today. After mulling over what to talk about all day, however, I’ve come to a realization: I don’t want to.
Any sort of on-going feature runs the risk of running into problems [...]

Monday Flash: The Best Offense

This week’s games are a little more complex than the usual Monday Flash fare, swapping twitch-based gameplay and the thrill of running over prehistoric predators for a bit of strategy and tactical thinking. They might take a bit longer than normal to fully get the hang of, but that’s all right. Since at [...]

Missing Links and Games

Clearly I’m going to have to start [...]

Monday Flash: Mostly Raptors

Only one game this week, on account of it being a busy week and already much later than I intended to start writing this. Some day I’ll learn to put some prep work in to these things. Not today, alas.

Both are experiments in game design, more prototypical flights of fancy than real games, but [...]

Monday Flash: Doublefine Edition

This probably counts as cheating.
It’s not too big a stretch to say Doublefine played a big part in pushing me towards games as a career. Founded by Tim Schafer, he of LucasArts’ golden age and such titles as The Secret of Monkey Island, Day of The Tentacle, and Grim Fandango, it was their first [...]

Monday Flash: The Returnening

Yes, crawling from the wreckage of ‘07 like Arnie’s own unkillable metal skeleton, it’s Monday Flash. For the first installment of this bright and glistening new year – and is it me, or do the round-numbered years always sound a little more like future? – we’re blessed with two games that are each impressive [...]
