Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock Preview
By Jim Squires
If there's one thing the Doctor is always doing, it's running away from things. When you think about it like that, the recently announced Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock almost makes sense in a weird sort of way. After all, what genre of game could possibly embody The Doctor's running-from-big-scary-monsters vibe better than a side-scrolling platformer?

By Jim Squires
Fans of The Clockwork Man are no doubt hoping that the team at Total Eclipse are furiously working away at a third installment in the series, but who can say?

Lovely Kitchen 2 Preview
By Jim Squires
When Lovely Kitchen debuted back in 2009, we weren't terribly wowed. A time management game where players would help Mary fulfill her childhood dream of being a famous cook with her own restaurant, the gameplay felt a little dated and the English felt a little broken. Cut the 3 years later, and Blam! Games are preparing to launch the sequel Lovely Kitchen 2. But can it cook up something impossible to resist?
