iPhone Game Review: Undercroft
Released in September 2010, Undercroft is the fourth iPhone game released by the hugely successful Jagex Games Studio, most famous for its free-to-play MMO Runescape.

The most epic way to track tasks ever: Epic Win
We all have humdrum and boring things that we have to do each day. Now imagine that there is a task manager that is a roleplaying game as well.

Godville: The best game you don’t have to play
In Godville, you don’t play a character. You don’t move around, you don’t go on quests and you certainly don’t fight monsters. You just watch your hero (who worships you for some reason) do all of these things – often badly. And this is deeply satisfying. Continue reading
