You finally have an excuse for Nintendogs if you’re not a ten-year-old. You’re welcome.

Simogo teases with ominous trailer for Year Walk, a spooky jaunt with "ancient Swedish phenomena"
Simogo, the Swedish game design duo who made one of fave iOS titles, Beat Sneak Bandit, have taken a turn for the dark side. Their teaser trailer is completely confusing, but in terms of capturing the ambience (um, the point of a trailer), they’re spot-on with the tone. – – – More from Simogo: In th
Needlework? Voyager mission? Stop-motion? Voyager for iOS is absolute whimsy.
Founder of one-man shop Oh My! Me Studios and creator of “hand-crafted video games,” Ken Amarit sent us a note about his new iOS title Voyager. If you were looking for a reason to reach-out to your grandmother, this would be it. Amarit used a needle and wool to construct the game’s elements and then

The fry pan interface allows for three dimensional input, and as well as moving the fry pan to aid the cooking process,
Why you read Nintendo Power even if you didn’t own an NES.
Over at the New Yorker, Reeves Wiedemann laments the loss of Nintendo Power which served his adolescence the same illicit joys as Hustler. (His analogy, not mine.) It’s by far my favorite eulogy for the advertisement rag that doubled as “journalism” and a reminder of the immense cultural sway that N
This Kickstarter "best of" video for PAX is cinematic inspiration.
Feeling bummed about the future of games? It happens. But here’s your daily dose of inspiration. Kickstarter is headed to PAX Prime this year and put together a reel of clips from some of their favorite campaign videos (including us!). While it’s simply an announcement of their booth presence, it al
