Chris Avellone To Join ‘Torment: Tides of Numenera’ Team If Kickstarter Hits $3.5M
The original Planescape: Torment is a classic I still haven’t gotten my hands on.
After inXile blew through their Kickstarter goal for their latest game project, Torment: Tides of Numenera, it came time to set up stretch goals. I mean, seriously, once your game blows through its substantial million dollar goal in record time (well, record time before that Veronica Mars thing happened), you’ve got to aim a little higher. Enter well-known designer Chris Avellone.
‘BioShock Infinite’s First Review Is In: IGN Gives It A 9.4
It looks like the pile of gold IGN gave up to get this exclusive paid off.
IGN’s released their review of BioShock Infinite and the verdict is an incredibly positive 9.4. Because of course. While everyone else is going to have to wait an extra few days to tell the world how awe-inspiring and revolutionary the game is, IGN gets to tell you now, leading the Metacritic rush.
New Facebook Timeline Has Arrived, Here’s What Changed
The future is here yet again!
Last week, I talked about how not only was Facebook bringing us a revised News Feed, but the company also (rather silently) unveiled an update to everyone’s Timeline, the most personal aspect of the service. It’s now finally hitting accounts and I’m here to show you exactly what happened so people don’t get hurt. Or you don’t get hurt, I don’t know what kind of person you are.
Third-Grade Girl Creates Kickstarter To Go To RPG Camp, Make Role-Playing Game
Awww, why not?
When your nine-year old daughter tells you they want to make an RPG, do you tell them no? When that nine-year old girl comes to Kickstarter with a request to pay for her RPG-creating summer camp, do you tell her no? The only solution here is to help little Mackenzie Wilson fulfill her dreams of beating up her mean brothers.
Google Now Hasn’t Been Submitted To The App Store, Says Google, Apple
Looks like only us Android folk are gonna have Google Now for a little while.
Google Now is getting more powerful with each iteration, so powerful and precognitive that Google is thinking of moving the Android-exclusive feature to iOS. Now we know from both companies that despite Eric Schmidt’s comments to the contrary, it isn’t. It seems odd that Google would be so willing to give up one of Jelly Bean’s biggest features to the competition… or does it?
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (XBLA) Review: A Beautiful, Fun Romp That’s A Little On The Shallow Side [VIDEO]

It’s time for N to play some Giana Sisters. Poorly.
I have to say that having been on a diet of strategy games lately, playing a bright and colorful platformer like Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams was a welcome change of pace from the moment the main menu began to animate. While it’s not going to change your mind about modern platformers, there’s plenty of beautiful game here to take in.
‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Beams In New International Trailer, Reveals Some Meat To This Film
Duckface McKirk reporting for duty, sir! Pew pew!
To say I wasn’t hot for the original trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness would be an understatement. I enjoyed the J.J.’s 2009 film, but their first glimpse at its sequel was far too much flash and far too little substance, which seems like an odd descriptor for a Trek film. Now that we’re reeling ever closer to the release date, Paramount is finally dropping some bigger news on the film’s story beats and, if you pay close attention – and you will – a few frames of Alice Eve as Carol Marcus in her undies.
Xbox Gaming To An Extreme, From Halo To Dai Senryaku, A Tour Through My Big Old Collection
…and then I slept atop my nest of original Xbox games and felt the spirit of J Allard enter me.
Guys, in the early aughts, I was an Xbox fanboy with a lot of disposable income. The console only existed on this earth for four years, but I ended up collecting about twice as many games on it as I did on my Xbox 360 in half the time. Tha’ts not to say they were all winners by any means, but it was a physically imposing collection of games that I had to manage and ultimately traded out for cash. Never again will I grow a collection that large, at least in a physical format, so let’s see what the haul was like.
‘SimCity 4’ Reminds Us Why The Series Needed To Change
It’s so peaceful from up here.
As a mea culpa for SimCity‘s disastrous debut, Electronic Arts offered a number of free titles as compensation. Reading other SimCity reviews, I caught on to a kind of collective fondness for the last game in the series, SimCity 4, which debuted ten years ago. Of course, that reminded me that it had been about that long since I’d purchased the game with its bundled Rush Hour expansion, played it for a handful of hours, and then stuffed it back into its double-wide box, never to play it again. I felt that maybe I had short-changed the game all those years ago, a strange thing since I loved 2000 and enjoyed 3000 nearly as much, but for the price of free, I was curious whether my opinion would change after so long, after I’d experienced so much.
Nope.
Google Keep Is The Note-Taking App For Android I’ve Been Waiting For
Basically, I want pretty pictures on my phone.
Note-taking is something I try to avoid as much as possible. When I do feel the urge, I like my apps to be simple and to the point. I’ve been using ColorNote for over a year for lists and in general for whatever may fall into my brain. Perhaps I’m losing my mind, but I’m having a lot more moments where I gain and lose great ideas quickly, so it helps to have something on-hand to capture those. Other mobile OSes have had note-taking apps for a while, even Evernote’s been a viable alternative, but Android’s been out in the dark. Until now.
