Game of the Year 2012: Rock


This year was pretty tough. We had plenty of fantastic games this year, as well as some highly-anticipated bombs. I actually spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out which game I loved most this year, and I finally decided on XCOM: Enemy Unknown. No other game this year hooked me as well as XCOM. As a person who really hates strategy games, this surprised the shit out of me. But the game's excellent presentation, easy to learn tactics, and wonderful base building and research elements were just about a perfect combination for me.

KGB Classic: Santa Claus: Videogame Hero


Enjoy a Christmas classic from the KGB archives!


You might think that seasonal videogames are too niche of a market to exist, but you'd be wrong. The Jolly old fat man himself, Santa Claus, is no stranger to videogames. Little Saint Nick has appeared in quite a few adventures over the years, and Chris takes you on another flight of the KGB Nostalgia Dirigible!

Today in Kickstarter: Code Hero Dev Takes the Money and Runs *UPDATED*


Stop me if you've heard this one before: There's something fishy going on with a game-related Kickstarter. It seems like Code Hero, a programming tool/game from Primer Labs, was funded nearly $170,000; and nothing has come of it. Time to lawyer up!
