The age of digital distribution has dawned upon us, and games, movies, tv-shows and music has flocked to it. It’s a brave new world. We have streaming services that allow us to see the first episode of a tv-show for free and we have free song listens before we can purchase them to download to our device’s library to…
It’s 3:28AM on a work day, and i haven’t been this shocked this hard at the pure audacity of a video game since the Mass Effect Choose-Your-Color debacle. But opposite to the effect of Casey Hudson’s trilogy, Life is Strange proved to me tonight that video games can be bolder and more mature while not resorting to…
Welcome to what i hope to be long-running series of articles entitled the Designer's Corner where i viciously take apart and/or praise game design issues in video games. Today we'll be talking about Beyond: Two Souls, a game that i finally found time to finish end to end after a good solid year.

The Oculus Rift is getting a lot of good press and industry involvement and that's great, it's probably the biggest and boldest step in how we approach not only games but interaction with a virtual world in the last decade.
