Your cool indie game doesn't have to be saying anything important
Your game about shooting aliens can just be about shooting aliens
I'm not going to name any names, but while I was trawling through the demos for the Steam Next Fest (countless many of which are excellent) I came across one game that had a genuinely amazing description. Imagine something like "A retro FPS inspired by Doom. Also, a deep story that delves into the Jungian understanding of the psyche." This made me laugh quite …

When is E3 going to be fun again?
It's me, the joy-ruiner
A couple of months ago, Imogen asked if we need E3 anymore. And I have been thinking about this question a lot. It comes up pretty regularly, and has done basically since E3 started, along with whether E3 is going to last for much longer. It's been nearly 30 years now.

Heading Out is a vigilante driving adventure inspired by Vanishing Point
Outrun the cops, the sand storms, and your reputation
The next game from the folks behind tactical war sim Radio Commander looks like a wild ride. Whereas Serious Sim's last game pointedly kept you out of the action, coordinating from the tactical tent, Heading Out will put you in the driver's seat.
