Star Trek Legends – Switch Review

It’s always a pleasure to see Star Trek games hit new platforms. With such a rich universe spanning decades of television and film, there’s plenty of potential for captivating storytelling, tactical battles, and deep exploration. Star Trek Legends, developed by Emerald City Games and published by Qubic Games, attempts to bring all of this to the Nintendo Switch. However, after spending too much time staring at loading screens, I wondered whether my time would have been better spent playing Kobayashi Maru: The Home Edition. Originally a mobile game on Apple Arcade, Star Trek Legends promises a gacha-free experience with many legendary characters to recruit and command. Star Trek Legends  – A Not-So-Boldly Going Mobile Port I was genuinely excited to dive into Star Trek Legends, eager to c...

Hush: Crane – An Interview with Co-Founder Jack Attridge

Breaking down the boundaries of interaction, for me that is where gaming gets interesting. Something a little different from button mashing or learning sequences of moves. Hush: Crane by developers Flavourworks, gives gamers a glimpse of how immersion can reach a new level. Using amazing-looking FMV and an engine known as "TouchVideo", your touch-screen gestures transition to real-world movements and actions. Each decision affects the story and sends you down a unique path. A taster of what is coming can be found for free on the Samsung Galaxy store, just look up "Hush: Crane" or click here. Having played the available episode multiple times, I was amazed at how many different outcomes there were in just the short time I had to play. Running just like you are in a movie, you can pan and...
