What The Hell is Glitch?

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Nathan Meunier

“Precious few MMO games let you shotgun a virtual 12-pack of beer, run around nibbling the meat off of live pigs, and massage butterflies to extract their milk — and all in the span of just a few short minutes, no less. I knew Glitch was going to be a weird experience going into it, but I wasn’t quite prepared for the level of sheer wackiness waiting for me within its quirky depths.

IGN’s 2009 Best Free-To-Play: Time Fcuk

Posted on December 16, 2009 by Nathan Meunier

“This quirky platform puzzler messes around with time and space as much as it fiddles with your mind. When your future self “suggests” you get in the box, you best damn well get in the box. Doing so thrusts you into a strange world of warping dimensional spaces, freaky messages from the past and future, and abnormal sentient growths.”
