  • NY Times Disses Halo 3?

    Okay, not really. Jurie, over at Intelligent Artifice linked off this op-ed piece from the NY Times last week that I only got around to reading yesterday. I was honestly surprised at how insightful the article is. Normally games coverage in the mass media is dull and lifeless at best, or part of a blind…

  • Virtual Minefields

    This amusing story of how Minesweeper was updated for Vista floated across my desk the other day. The post is a year old now, but worth a read. With all the effort we expend trying to expand our audience beyond the rather easy-to-please domain of teenage boys and young men, I wonder how much we…

Flipping through the weekend ‘Life’ section of the Gazette, I discovered that the City was hosting ‘Design Montreal’s Open House’,…

  • Ayiti: The Cost of Life

    Bad me. I hadn’t heard about this game until I read about it on Patrick’s blog yesterday, where he provides a very eloquent analysis of the game, its strategies, and the statements that those strategies ultimately make. It’s a shame more games are not reviewed or critiqued with such insight. Thanks Patrick. I played the…
