You’ll never hear me admit it, but I enjoy fishing in Stardew Valley

No matter the genre you play, I guarantee that at some point, somewhere, you’ve encountered a fishing mini-game. There’s no stopping them. They’re anywhere with a body of water and time to kill, and, for the most part, I can’t stand them. I hate fishing mini-games. I’ve made no secret of it, and anyone who knows will tell you that if I can avoid any fantasy fishing, I absolutely will. This is a bit of a problem, considering the fact that I tend to favor ‘cosy’ games, which invariably have some form of fishing mechanic....

Auti-Sim, a game about autism, is very distressing

Horror games could learn a thing or two I’ve just “played”Auti-Sim, and I feel awful. The short interactive experience, brought to my attention by the fine folks atRock, Paper, Shotgun, has been designed to recreate the effects ofauditory hypersensitivity disorder, and it’s not very pleasant at all. The experience isn’t a long one, and all you really do is walk around a playground, but that’s all it needs to create something truly shudder-worthy....

Bethesda isn’t ready to say its committed to the NX yet

They’ll ‘look at it’ though When you think “Bethesda,” you really don’t think “Nintendo platforms.” It kind of ignores the Big N entirely, and outside of publishing projects here and there like the forgottenStar Trek: Conqueston the Wii, it mostly focused on the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms.But Finder.com.au recently spoke to Pete Hinesabout the NX, who had a little bit to say about it: We talk to Nintendo all the time – we’re pretty well briefed in on what they are doing....

Oh hey there! It’s that time again for some wonderful European magic. We have a full cast this week (yay) and after rambling on about games and stuff, we talk a little more about the current situation with UK retailer GAME. We then move on to the EU-wide ban on game tax breaks, which is another pretty heavy topic, sorry guys, but it’s good to know about at least. Ending on a more fun note, we round things up by talking about the newRaspberry Pi, which is a really teenie weenie computer that you can do basic coding on....
