Scribblenauts is an interesting and innovative puzzle/adventure game where the player solves said puzzles by calling various items out of thin air. The concept was very interesting and true to the designers word the game has a vast library of words you can use to create various items. From apples, buttons, and Cthulu to God himself. At first, working through the tutorial and the first level I was having fun, but as the levels progressed the bugs and unpolished feel of the game started to become more and more prominent.Read More

Now before I jump into the details I'm going to say that there were some good things and some bad things about the game. As there are with most games.Read More

GURPS 4th Ed. is the latest release of the GURPS system claiming to provide a more streamlined rule set for combat and expansion material integration. In the past I've only played one GURPS game and unfortunately it didn't last to long. Recently though I decided to pick up one of my old plans to create a campaign in the Cowboy Bebop setting. My original plan was to build it and play test it and then try to host a game at this years NDK. To accomplish this I decided that I would start with GURPS 4th Core and build from there. The following is my heroin tale as I built my campaign.Read More

Before I begin this review I wanted to make sure and note that although I do enjoy some of Orson Scott Card's (OSC) work I don't necessarily believe in his personal beliefs and/or opinions. Personally I believe if you can just ignore him when he starts getting preachy in his work you can enjoy the book with less bias and issue. Now without further ado.Read More
