Occasionally, I get a guilty shudder when I use the phrase ‘first person puzzler’, because in my mind, first person puzzling has been a genre since the dawn of video games. For example, wasn’t the Myst series technically in first person? And before...
By New Game Network onYou're all thinking it. No, don't try to deny it, it's obvious. It's written all over your face there, plain for the entire world to see. You think this is just Portal, don't you? Well, you're wrong. Oh, wait, no. What's the opposite of wrong? Yeah,...
