It is the sequel to the also-excellent 10000000 and combines a great-feeling match-three puzzle game with some simple base building and RPG mechanics. Since playing those games, I

I grew up in Singapore—a concrete metropolis that was, until relatively recently, all jungle. The schools I attended there took students on trips outside the country, mostly to introduce us city children to nature. I had the extraordinary good fortune to travel to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Australia with my classmates and teachers. We went

Courtesy of Netflix Junk food used to taste good. I’m not going to argue the likes of, say, Vertical Limit are especially high-art, but there was an earnestness to its rock-scaling antics that’s all too often missing from the biggest, loudest action thrillers today.
