“Hey, that’s not nice. No pushing.” “But that’s the game!” “Fine. Let me toss you and see how much you like it.” “Wee!” Today, Fairway picks up Tiny Swords: Tactics a tile placement, combat game with adorable pixel art and plenty of pushing, shoving, and tossing fun.
For fans of the original The Captain is Dead, it should come as no surprise that the Captain is still dead. Having jumped to warp and survived drifting through an asteroid belt, those aliens are hopping mad. This time they’re not just boarding the ship in little groups. They’ve taken over the shipped, trapped us in the infirmary and shut us out of our own computer systems. See if Fairway survives in this preview of The Captain is Dead: Episode 3, Lockdown.
In episode 40, we check out the latest game in Button Shy Games’ Wallet Series, Ahead in the Clouds.

Remember the fun of making your character in games like Skyrim? “Hey you, you’re finally awake; You were trying to cross the border right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush same as us, and that thief over there.” ~ Raloff, from Skyrim. And then five and half minutes later, you finally get to pick your race! Grr… Well, forget loading times and movie sequences. Fairway’s skipping all that frustration and is going play Roll Player, a recent Kickstarter delivery from by Keith Matejka and Thunderworks Games, instead.
This week, Dan asks the creator of the Super HACK Override Kickstarter campaign about the game, using Send From China, and the super-fast delivery option with The Game Crafter. Find out whether Dan’s bank account also got hacked while you’re at it.
