Jillian will play any game with cute characters or an isometric perspective, but her favorites are Fallout 3, Secret of Mana, and Harvest Moon. Her PC suffers from permanent cat-on-keyboard syndrome, which she blames for most deaths in Don’t Starve. She occasionally stops gaming long enough to eat waffles and rewatch Battlestar Galactica.

    Always Sometimes Monsters Review

    By

    Always Sometimes Monsters is a game about choices, consequences, and inevitabilities.  As a modern day RPG and life sim, it pits players against the challenges of poverty, broken relationships, and difficult decisions whose effects aren't always immediately obvious.  Its characters face tragedies ranging from drug overdoses to attempted suicide, gambling addiction to starvation, and yet most maintain an air of hope and humor that makes exploring this world both tragic and heartening.

    Record Run Review

    By

    Record Run has the makings of a mobile best-seller: a short-burst, pick-up-and-play runner that lets players dodge obstacles to the beat of their own tunes.  With a triple-A pedigree from publisher Harmonix, known for catchy music game must-haves like Rock Band and Dance Central, the sky was the limit for this bite-sized behemoth.  Unfortunately, forgettable gameplay and a limiting IAP structure weigh down the experience and prevent it from soaring.The main gimmick behind Record Run is a popular staple of the rhythm genre: you can load any song into the game and it will generate a level synched to that tune.  Like Audiosurf and Beat Hazard before it, Record Run has chosen this method of content generation as its banner, and has barely supplemented its user-provided music library with four built-in songs. The problem is that Record Run also limits its user-injected library by forcing players to purchase "song slots" for every new song they wish to play, and offers no option to delete previously uploaded songs so a slot can be reused.  You'd better be sure you want a song in your library before you upload it, because it's not going anywhere.
