Odds are, if you don't follow gaming closely and you weren't a Kickstarter Backer for this particular title, you'll need to hop into your time machine and travel back two years in order to remember this thing. Broken Age is the nearly-end result of the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter project that made millions almost two years ago. It set records, demolished expectations and proved...
Yes, seriously. Thanks to the ambitions of two creative minds and financial support from a crowd of hopefuls at Kickstarter, there's a game coming out that's called Dog Sled Saga. It's about driving dogs through the snowy tundra in order to win races, gain fame and form bonds. It's heading to the PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android platforms. It's a real thing, and we here at...
Secrets of Rætikon, as early as things are in the game's current stage, is as much about discovery as it is play. This colorful 2D world from Broken Rules presents puzzles, an ecosystem, a storyline, glyphs and, seemingly above all else, exploration.

FTL: Faster Than Light is far and away one of my favorite games to release in a good long while. This tiny project with unbelievably good music has sucked more than 100 hours of my life away, and that comes because of its random generation and insane difficulty. $10, as of right now, scores you the PC version of the game. The developers behind the product have just announced that it's...

As things are right now, Hyper Light Drifter stands tall as one of the most beautiful upcoming games in the medium. I know, huge words. That type of praise really isn't something I like to toss around lightly; but, the folks behind Heart Machine in this effort – Alex Preston, Beau Blyth and Rich Vreeland (also known as Disasterpiece, doing the tunes for the game) – are onto something...
