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.

Curiosity's cube demands consistent tapping on a global scale, Super Hexagon attempts to steal the title of "most dangerous game" from humanity, and now PUK - Pull Back & Ping is pitting gamers against deceptively challenging circles. But circles don't even have corners, you say...how tough could they be?

Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments Preview
By Jillian Werner
The perfect Sherlock Holmes adventure: does such a thing exist? Can we ever feel completely immersed in the Baker Street detective's puzzle-solving prowess?

The upcoming Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments may be the closest they've come to solving the riddle of the Sherlock game.

Pixel People Preview
By Jillian Werner
Post-apocalyptic scenarios are all the rage right now, from the Fallout and Metro series to The Walking Dead and The Last of Us, we just can't get enough of the end of the world. Usually, however, that end is accompanied by zombies or ghouls or other generally terrible things that no one should ever hope to experience in real life. Except for Pixel People. It presents a post-apocalyptic world that is adorable, and frankly, we want to go to there.

Tennis in the Face Review
By Jillian Werner
No doubt there are plenty of people who deserve a cranial readjustment courtesy of some sports equipment: movie patrons that leave their phones on, commuters who have full-volume conversations on the train, and anyone who gets more than three samples at a crowded Baskin Robbins.
