26 Oct 2010I have never much explored the Indie Games section of Xbox Live (formerly known as Community Games)— partly because I’m already swimming in too many games I want to play and partly because the indie space is its own ocean of gems and dross. It is a bit easier to find interesting games, and more [...]

11 Oct 2010I tend to prefer the comfort and big-scale experience of console gaming — and lately PC gaming, as well. But when I have some time to kill at work, at a doctor’s office, or wherever my go-to device is definitely my iPod Touch. I have an original PSP stored somewhere, and I could borrow my [...]
God of War, Dante’s Inferno, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta — these are often referred to as “character-action” games, but that’s a bit of a misnomer since it’s always the action that takes priority over the characters.

2 Sep 2010What does Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 voice-recognition software have to do with video games? Nothing. Except that the fact I will be doing most, if not all, of my GameHounds writing using my new Dragon software. In fact, I’ve only been using this software for about 10 minutes and already I learned how to program “GameHounds” [...]

17 Aug 2010The folks at Traveller’s Tales have worked out a successful formula: License a popular setting; create a recipe for a the story told in a non-verbal cavalcade of exploding LEGO studs, an almost Simlish sort of “dialogue;” add in some platforming and puzzles; bake in a plethora of reasons for the players to go back [...]
