Read MoreAlmost two years ago, Tim Schafer and crew were responsible for one of my favourite little RPGs of the generation. Costume Quest on the PS3 and Xbox 360 played out a lot like “my first RPG,” it was so simple, but it was also endlessly charming – the perfect way…
Read MoreGenres are a useful tool for developers, critics and consumers alike. Simple words are – through the power of thematic and stylistic associations – capable of describing a game that we may never have even seen before.
