Adam’s Picks (Art/Writing)
Consoles continue to hold my attention, primarily. I’m currently working on Darksiders, which Alex got me for my bday. It plays like God of War meets Zelda meets Devil May Cry, but it’s not nearly as good as any of them. That said, the places it’s taken me so far are enthralling. Last night I journeyed into a desert of ash crawling with giant Tremors monsters, and my next stop is a castle made of spiderwebs. I don’t care how boring the game has been to play, I can’t NOT get excited about a castle made of spiderwebs.
Freaking Inkies (also in HD):
Yes, this game is old as hell. I think it came out around the time TtL debuted a year ago. It’s a tilt-based shooter with a lot of personality, and the artist in me appreciates the color mixing mechanic. The child in me appreciates the sound effects.

Disc Drivin’ (Lite):
I felt a bit late to the party on this one as a lot of fellow devs have been playing this game a bit longer than I have (and it shows). The game is a turn-based racing game where you fling discs around several courses. The description sounded odd to me at first, but once I understood how it worked it seems like a brilliant idea perfectly suited for the mobile device. I found that while it has a rather addictive quality to it, it isn’t as intrusive as a game that requires your 100% attention. Taking a turn in Disc Drivin’ is only a few seconds and you go on about your business. Locally you can play up to 8 players, but online is limited to 4. One of the few multiplayer games that you can even get your non-gamer friends really into.
