Didn't listen to the podcast. I just thought it was funny that the picture of the girl is Tootie from the Facts of Life. "2D", get it? It made me laugh, and realize how old I am that I know of such things.
Bangai-O Spirits reminds us that not every modern game needs to have Shakespearean storytelling to be grand.
Hardcore Gamer: The Puzzle Quest games have been big hits in the digital era and have breathed new life into puzzle games by applying some RPG gameplay mechanics to the genre. Now, instead of spending $10 for the Galactrix and Challenge of the Warlords entries, you can get them both for only $1 each.
All I can say is that Glactrix better come out on PSP.
I'd buy it on day one.
