Found this neat flash game that made a pick-of-the-day on Newgrounds called Pretentious Game. The title is artfully deceptive and a little bit more is at work than one at first notices. Check it out!

A Unique and Contemporary Stylistic Flair in a Less-than-Perfect Video Game: Kane & Lynch 2
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is difficult to immediately explain. In our current generation of advanced hardware technology on consoles such as the Playstation 3 or the XBOX 360, it’s no surprise gamers immediately and initially judge a game on whether the gameplay is intuitive, fluid, appropriately paced, and solid in design. If controls are found to be “broken”…
Initial Covetous Exploration
For our upcoming analytic paper, i have already made the decision to do a critical study on the flash game Covetous.

“Faith” or Logic?
Robert Kendall’s Faith, initially, is so deceptively and delightfully simple. Call it a poetically cute coincidence that i happen to choose something like this textual literature on an impulsive whim. Browsing through the electronic literature collections we’ve been provided, all the little rectangular/square avatar/picture representations of the collection all look interesting. So i figure, “Hey, why not click something at random…
