Editorial Content

Pong Quest is a twist on the classic game Pong with a dungeon crawler attached. Sam Wachter considers the question: how much Pong can you handle before you can’t Pong no more?

Light Fairytale Episode 1 might one day be the mediocre beginning of an otherwise good RPG, but it’s hard to say at this point. Matt Masem finds that with well under five hours of gameplay, it’s light on content in almost every aspect that counts.
