Sacrificing: Scrolls or Resources ?

      One of the big mistakes I’ve seen from new players is sacrificing for scrolls when they should be sacrificing for resources. I’m going to explain the different situations you will encounter during play, and how I generally deal with them. You should be sacrificing for either scrolls or resources every single turn, unless you are confronted with a situation where you are forced to play your hand without doing either. For...

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Dust is a game that harks back to the good old days of Castlevania and Metroid, a 2-D side-scroller with fast paced frantic combat and RPG elements, with a solid story built in to boot. First of all the game is just beautiful to look at, the hand painted graphics and character design is brilliant. Considering that everything in this game was made and designed by one man is truly inspiring. The combat strikes the perfect balance...

When you log into the game, you will be asked to choose your first precon deck from the three resources. You will be able to buy the other precons later using gold or shards.

Once we got through the queue and inside the main...

Tool Initiate has got a new skin, and his scrolls design has also changed to better reflect his ability. Yesterday the big reset took place, meaning that...

Catherine & Katherine

I have recently come into possession of a game I had long been wanting to play, but due to financial constraints, lacked the ability to do so. That game is Catherine and whilst I have yet to complete it, it's certainly been a hell of a trip so far. Catherine is a very unique game, both in style and substance. The game blends a story of fidelity and relationships, mostly being told from a bar, through cut scenes...
