2016: A Year of Glorious Capitalism in the Games Industry
Even Trotsky and Lenin with their blood-red, hammer-and sickle-beating hearts would have bought into the games industry in 2016. If they were alive. And my lazy, anachronistic analogy would actually make sense. Whatever. You’ve made it this far, right? Let me explain. If the games industry showed us one thing last year (because it’s 2017…

Firewatch: The Perfect Summer Game
Summer is a time of mystic exploration; of sun that bakes the concrete of streets and the wheat of fields. It’s a time of discovering deep glens and things older than man that hum of mystery – to borrow a quote from Cormac McCarthy. But, Tom, why are you going off on one being all mistily…
