'Metroid: Other M' is the Worst Game Ever Made
You're probably thinking right now about Superman 64, Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, or the infamous ET for the Atari 2600 and wondering how anything could be worse than those. Those games barely functioned and some might even make the case that they aren't games at all so much as unfortunate experiences. Ironically, that could be seen as a saving grace in the face of Metroid: Other M. Such technically bad and broken games didn't have a Metroid title's expectations placed on them. They didn't have the technology of more modern games. Simply put, they just didn't have the room for such offensively incompetent content the likes of which you're about to read.

6 Top Ways to Market Your Indie Game
Begin from the get-go. Don’t wait until you are halfway through, or almost finished making your game. Start your marketing as soon as you have something to show, even if it is just a simple character mockup, level mockup, or actual beginning designs in your game engine software. As you progress keep posting images, and videos when you can, that display what you are doing with your game. Don’t wait, start marketing right from the get-go.

Where Are They? 10 Dead Franchises Due for Another Shot
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances. Now, normally this column is all about talking about something that deserves another chance to shine, whether movie, album, game, or even vacation spot. However, in light of my first project with Braindamage Games (follow my girlfriend & my studio's progress here), I decided to broaden my scope this time. See, there are plenty of holes in game libraries these days due to established franchises just... stopping. A healthy gamer can't survive on shooters alone. As the studio begins work on something to fill a void left behind by a dead IP, I decided I wanted to take a moment to give my take on dormant franchises that deserve another chance on the sales charts.

5 Tips for Playing Better Inquisitors
There are some who serve their gods with prayers. There are others who serve them with the crash of sword on shield. But there are a select few whose deeds often go unnoticed. Done in darkness, with subtlety and guile, these servants perform the tasks that would sully others. They slip on a wolf's skin and prowl at their deity's behest. They delve deep, pass judgment, and often act as executioners of divine will.

'COD' Logic
I started playing video games at an early age. It was a time in my life where video games were straight to the point, pixilated, and most of the time if you didn’t play with your siblings, schoolmates, or family, you played alone. It was Square Enix, the developers behind the greatness that is Final Fantasy, that made me want to understand the creativity, beauty, and the art of video games. From there I had to play everything. After RPGs, I jumped to racing sims to platformers.
