PAX 2009 Indie Game Countdown: A Look Into Machinarium
From everything I have read and seen in the previews, Machinarium seems to be to adventure games what World of Goo was to puzzle games. A simple, point-and-click flash game put out as an inexpensive digital download by a (relatively) unknown developer that seems poised for greatness. The visuals, the music, the setting, and the [...]
Musaic Box – Everything you Wanted to Know

Thankfully the press registration was actually open today, and I must have pleased the gaming gods somehow because they accepted me as press without any hassle! Well, sort [...]
GDC 2009 or bust?
