Platformer Building on a Different Level with Super Tony Land
Once in a while, you come across an indie developer that makes your heart smile for days because you know they're making an awesome effort. That's the way I felt after chatting with the husband and wife duo of Robot Loves Kitty as they showed me their latest game, Super Tony Land.

Feeling the Weight of the World in Dark Devotion
Sometimes, when you're a media person covering events like PAX East, your appointments fly by fast and you get some time to check out other cool stuff along the way to getting to other appointments. Such is the case with Dark Devotion, as I briefly tried it out on Friday morning.
