Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.

    Arkedo is a studio that holds a special place in my heart. They may not be as well-known as… well, any studio out there, really - but over the last four or five years they've made some of the neatest little games you can find. They were responsible for the fireworks puzzlers Big Bang Mini on the Nintendo DS. And their Arkedo Series - 03 PIXEL! on Xbox Live's Indie Games channel is one of the most satisfying yet challenging platforming experiences of the last decade. So when they debuted their newest project at PAX East this year, our ears perked up.

    Skylanders Cloud Patrol Review

    By

    As a parent to a 7 year old, there's no questioning that my family is the target market for the Skylanders franchise. Over the holiday season we revelled in its great family friendly console game that offered up a top-down shooter with just a hint of light RPG character development. We spent weeks upon weeks trying to track down that one particularly hard to find character in the immediate area (for us, it was an air Skylander). And so, when we learned that the brand was coming to the App Store, we couldn't help but get a little excited.

    Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 Preview

    By

    Like most of the internet - or at the very least, the nerdier half of the web - I've spent the last decade enamoured with Penny Arcade. Arguably the most celebrated webcomic of all time, the adventures of Gabe and Tycho have given me plenty of reasons to chuckle over the years. So when they started an episodic RPG series based on the franchise back in 2008, I was tickled pink. But the series has been slow going, and after two episodes, was scrapped entirely. But as it turns out, you can't keep a good franchise down.

    On The Wind Review

    By

    I've always been a big fan of games as art, but at the same time, I'm also a big fan of mindlessly addictive games about fast reflexes and trying to outshine your previous score. With that in mind, On the Wind is a game that's exquisitely tailored to my sensibilities.

    Jane Jensen is coming back to adventure games [interview]

    By

    There are only a handful of game designers who can really be called a master of their trade, but as the mind behind the classic Gabriel Knight graphic adventures in the 90's, Jane Jensen is unquestionably amongst them. Over the last decade she's spent a fair bit of time creating hidden object games with Oberon Media, a company she co-founded, but as of this morning Jensen has announced a plan to return to her roots.
