[Review] Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

February 16th, 2010 · No Comments · Review

Since 2006, fans of the Ace Attorney series have been standing for justice in a world where people are guilty until proven innocent. We’ve turned case after case around when we thought all was lost. But honestly (don’t lie to me now), you’ve wanted to know what it’s like to be a prosecutor, right? Finally, [...]

[Review] Gamebook Adventures #1: An Assassin in Orlandes

February 12th, 2010 · No Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review

I don’t have a lot of experience with iPhone apps (I’ve played with maybe three or four), but I know have one that’s high on my list of favorites. An Assassin in Orlandes is a digital gamebook for the iPhone and iPod touch – it’s like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but where you [...]

[Review] Cthulhutech – Mortal Remains

February 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · RPG Bloggers Network, Review

I was recently given the opportunity to review the Cthulhutech books as part of a carnival, and since they were something that I’ve always been interested in, I quickly jumped at the opportunity. Much has been said about the game as whole, so I’m going to focus on what I have been assigned to review [...]

[Review] Sikulu, the Kul Visual Programmer

January 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Review

File this under “Cool concept, needs work”. Sikulu is a free visual programming language, but it’s not like Kodu or Mindstorms (or even LEGO Universe). The code itself is fairly standard, with if, while, and for loops. But instead of identifying what you want the program to click with code, you identify it with pictures.

It’s [...]

[Review] Three Articles You Must Check Out in Kobold Quarterly 12

January 26th, 2010 · No Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review

I really had trouble picking out three articles from the most recent issue of Kobold Quarterly. Not that it’s a bad issue – the exact opposite, it’s amazing! Too good, that I couldn’t just pick three articles. But I knew that if I tried to make it longer, then eventually the list would spiral out [...]

So, when I asked people on Twitter if they had seen my review, here’s what someone said in response:
MissMouze: @allgeektout Yeah, but how it is for a person who doesn’t play a whole lot of RPGs?
Oops, I forgot to mention that in my review, didn’t [...]

[Review] The Box That's Bigger on the Inside

January 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review

Okay, the title’s a bit of a lie – the contents of Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space (the new Doctor Who RPG from Cubicle 7) are actually pretty snug inside their box. But when you look at the contents of the box, and the fact that I can’t resist an obvious pun, then you’ll [...]

[Chrononauts] A Walk Through Time: The Lost Identities

January 11th, 2010 · No Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review

You thought I was done with the Chrononauts fun? There’s still one more expansion pack to talk about – The Lost Identities. This $2.99 set includes 15 new cards to add to the game. There are 13 identities, one card summarizing how to use the expansion pack, and most surprisingly (to me) – a new [...]
