The latest issue of Games Quarterly Magazine is available for downloading now. Print copies should show in mailboxes and in better game stores everywhere soon. If you dig through it, you should be able to find an article I wrote on Peter Adkison’s new company (Hidden City Games) and its new game (Clout Fantasy). It’s a collectible game, but instead …
Human Head’s Secret: Prey
The cat’s officially out of the bag, so now I can finally talk about Human Head Studios‘ top-secret video game: Prey.

That game was Prey. Human Head …
Blood of Heroes Coming Soon
A hot-off-the-presses copy of Loren Coleman’s Blood of Heroes showed up via UPS today.

So far, they’ve been great, although I can hear them barking at each other through …

E-mail Tests Work
Stephen David Wark wrote to tell me that the e-mail notifications aren’t working. After a few tests, I figured out the problem. They do work, but only if I post directly within the WordPress backend software. If I use ecto, my favorite blogging software for the Mac, the e-mail notification plugin doesn’t recognize the post. There are a couple workarounds …
