Papercraft Friday #97: LEGO Minifig
We have LEGO on the brain around here after last weekend’s fun at the Summer Tour, so I thought I’d see what I could find by way of LEGO papercraft. I found what looks like a good model of the classic minifig, though there was no picture of a completed model. There are no instructions…

LEGO Night: 3841 Minotaurus
The first LEGO game we played of the ones we got after the LEGO Games 2010 Summer Tour event was LEGO 3841 Minotaurus. The game is essentially played in a giant hedge maze. Up to 4 players can play, and you start from a corner and try to work your way to the labyrinth to…

Game Impressions: Alan Wake
Introduction It’s no surprise that I would gravitate towards a game whose first spoken words are “Stephen King.” But that doesn’t mean I will automatically like it.

Papercraft Friday #96: Morningstar
Sheila Mertens has created some paper models with a definitely medieval slant. Amidst the swords, trebuchets, etc I spied this nifty morningstar. That’s one I haven’t seen before! I’ve always imagined that I’d kill myself with one of those before I managed to hurt anyone else. But they just look so cool. Head on over…

Game Impressions: LIMBO
Introduction Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade kicked of this week with the highly anticipated black-and-white puzzle platformer LIMBO. Yes, it’s spelled with all caps… I have no idea why. And having no idea why sums up a lot about this game.

Papercraft Friday #95: Despicable Me Minions
From all reports, one of the better aspects of the new movie Despicable Me is the villain Gru’s adorable minions. Look for them in their own show! Paper Replika put out some paper models of the minions earlier this week, and they look just as cute as their animated counterparts. They’re good beginner models in…

APPraisal: Pulse
Justin is back with another APPraisal guest review! —– I’m not a huge RSS junkie, nor do I visit a multitude of sites per day. I do, however, visit a small number of sites a LOT each day. I would say I’m visiting Gizmodo like 30 times between 8 am and 4:30 pm. So, if…
