Free Tunes Trifecta
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under music writing
Free + Tunes = Thursjoy There is such a thing as a free lunch, or at least some free tunes for you, my loyal readers. Quality tunes, of course. We may all lament these changing times.

Thinking About Lara Croft

There’s a new Tomb Raider reboot brewing, and the Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light third-person downloadable game prospering (#2 in DLC at the Playstation Store).

Game Designers Actually Write?
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game design
