In which gimlets are too sweet, the weaknesses of real life’s reward mechanisms are exposed, and questions from questions undergoes total logistical collapse. Plus Zafehouse Diaries, MirrorMoon EP, Transistor, Super Hot, and other such videogames.
We also dig into Deus Ex: Human Revolution, clap politely for Tribes, and explore the worlds of Mirror’s Edge and Just Cause 2. Then we kick Diablo 3’s narrative until it falls over and air our most controversial feelings about the original Half-Life.
