I've got a plan.

My plan is simple. Each week until IGF 2010, that's about 16 weeks if my calculations are alright, I will make a review of one of the 306 entries for this year's IGF. And I may even try to get the GW community to get interested in indie gaming by making them participate in some way.

I guess I'm putting this together pretty quickly but I needed to get a post out here to at least force me to actually make it. I'll iron out the details this week but I have a name: The Road to IGF 2010.

Machinarium and Kill Screen

First thing first, my review of Machinarium is up on GW. Check it out dudes and gals.

Second thing, thanks to the lovely Leigh Alexander (birthday girl today), I found out about the upcoming new gaming magazine Kill Screen. Looks like someone is finally making the kind of gaming magazine that I've always been looking for:

"We were asking "Why doesn't something like this exist?" We talked about games all of the time but there wasn't something that met the bar, both intellectually and aesthetically, for this genre. That's not to say there aren't lots of lovely blogs that write wonderful things about games and their obvious cultural import, but we wanted something we could hold. An artifact. An object. It had to be beautiful. The sort of thing that stays on your shelf and you pass on to your children. We wanted Kill Screen to be an heirloom."

The only gaming magazine I was ever subscribed to was (shamefully now that I look back on it) Nintendo Power. I will now have to look for a place to store all those old mags to make place for the new ones if they, hopefully, make more than one issue. Suffice to say, their vision was enough to sell me backing them up with a nice 50$. Can't wait for more info on this.

New review

A new review is up on GW. Enjoy.

Oh yeah, I had a blog.

After a few months hiatus of Press A to jump, I am back in force. I am writing a bunch of stuff right now and I may as well post what I do here. So here's a link to two reviews I did on iPhone/iPod Touch games for GamingW.

Enjoy

The wall

No, not the Pink Floyd one.
