Good news for anyone who has already preordered Crayon Physics Deluxe. For everyone who preordered the game (or preorders) before the 3rd of January the game will be sitting snugly in your inbox on the 4th. For everyone else it’ll be released to the public on the 7th. Apparently there’s also an iPhone version in [...]

It’s New Year’s Eve, and, as usual, I’m stuck in a house devoid of people my own age, in a city devoid of people my own age I know, so I will just cradle a beer and watch Jools Holland tonight. However, tomorrow is a brave new day in a brave new year, and so [...]
