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.

    Sesame Street Creators Want to Help Developers Create Apps for Kids, Count to 17

    By

    In an industry that is now 50 years old and consistently maturing, it's easy to forget the other end of the gaming age spectrum: young children.  Sesame Workshop, the group behind the equally time-tested Sesame Street, wants to make sure kids are kept in the technological loop through age-appropriate and well-designed apps.  To help game designers achieve this goal, they've released a free best practices guide on developing for preschoolers.

    Final Fantasy IV Review

    By

    It's no secret that Square Enix loves Final Fantasy IV: it's the second-most ported game in the Final Fantasy series and one of only two Final Fantasy titles to be completely remade thus far.  It received a sequel 17 years after its initial release (a favor usually reserved for a game's primary life cycle), an extra character in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (as did Square's top-grossing Final Fantasy VII), and a two-volume novelization.  Square's (and its fans') love affair with Final Fantasy IV continues in its recent iOS release.

    Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade Review

    By

    I honestly can't explain the appeal of the Mafia Wars-style "casual text MMO," which basically uses its players' impatience as currency.  It's a strange brand of freemium game that seems to draw users into any incarnation, whether it's yet another mob-builder like iMobsters, a collectible card "adventure" like Rage of Bahamut, or an only semi-related "spinoff" to a popular series, like Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade.  As baffling as the genre's popularity is, I'm even more confused by this newest development: I can't stop playing Airborne Brigade.

    Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Review

    By

    Theatrhythm Final Fantasy's release on the 3DS earlier this year was the ultimate piece of fan service: players were treated to over 70 songs (56 playable) from the thirteen main (numbered) entries in the Final Fantasy series, 29 characters, and plenty of RPG-esque opportunities for advancement.  With a freemium version of the game now available on iOS, mobile adventurers can enjoy most of the basic trappings of Theatrhythm—minus its soul.

    5 Reasons Hidden Object Games Are So Cluttered

    By

    We've all wondered it at some point, whether it was the first time you saw a graveyard posing as a junkyard, after finding your hundredth kitchen utensil, or upon discovering a chainsaw in a bedroom: why are Hidden Object games so messy?  Besides the obvious response of, "That's the whole point," I think we deserve to know the real reason.  Which is definitely one or all of the following five.

    Bunny Cannon Review

    Bunny Cannon begins as one young rabbit's attempt to reconcile three different explanations of where baby bunnies come from.  His father claims they arrive from heaven, his uncle says the stork shoots them out of a cannon, and his teacher explains they come from other bunnies.  Because of this, our furry visionary imagines a world where bunnies are catapulted from a cannon in the sky into other bunnies, which causes them to multiply on their freefall journey toward a basket below.

    Flashout 3D Review

    By

    Let's take a moment to relive that golden day in 1995 when Wipeout was released for the PlayStation.  The air smells so good here, doesn't it?  We've got a brand new console with a gorgeous F-Zero-style racer, but everything's been kicked up a notch: speed, graphics, maneuverability.  And now there are weapons!  Mines and missiles and electro-bolts, oh my.  I'm never leaving my house again.

    Clay Jam Review

    By

    A long time ago, in a galaxy made out of clay, a horde of Bully Beasts attacked the land and flattened all of its clay-monster inhabitants.  Now, thousands of years later, a mysterious Stranger appears and offers to return the world of Clay Jam to its former glory—as long as you feed him lots of clay to do so.  Thus begins your journey as the initially small Fat Pebble, a clay ball on a mission.
