Better than Flappy Bird. Because Orbits!
Yeah, Flappy Bird got old quick, but this little gem has me trapped in its gravity well (see what I did there?). Flappy Space Program, just like Flappy Bird, is simple. Click to launch your bird. Now, keep tapping to overcome gravity and launch your bird into orbit. Simple no? Ok, now add another bird. Then…

Of Shields and Spears
Lately I’ve been playing a highly accessible puzzle-rogue-like game called Hoplite. Simple graphics and ever-increasing difficulty make this a quick and easy game to learn, but a very difficult one to master. You play the role of an adventurous Hoplite — a citizen warrior of ancient Greece city-states. You’re questing in ever-deeper dungeons looking for…

Aiiee! The Steam Summer Sale is in full swing. Too much temptation.
Over the last few years I’ve become more of a fan of Steam and a couple of other online delivery services for my PC gaming needs. I can’t actually remember the last PC game I bought in a brick-and-morter store for my desktop. And now, the Steam Summer Sale is reaching its mid-point and so…
