Every once in a while a video game comes along that promises to be innovating, interesting, and imaginative. I’m not sure if Flower boasted that much of itself, but it certainly delivered. The game is pretty simple… You start off by controlling what appears to be a gust of wind.

I’ve started using an application on my iPhone known as Gowalla. The premise is similar to FourSquare’s, which I was never quite sure about. The entire app is based on the idea that someone wants to know where you’re at or have been and that you want to make a game out of it.

A little bit ago, I’d put a Moleskine on my holiday wish list. My boss, the gentle giant he is, bought me one. I was so ecstatic and so pleased with my new little notebook that I went out and bought myself the holiday color a month planner. This, sadly, was a mistake.

Since the resident board gamer is in town, I’m getting exposed to all sorts of new games. This last one was Witch of Salem. Like anything good in the Cthulhu mythos, your choices are die terribly or go insane. Winning is not generally an option. That’s what makes it fun, right?

Recently, I got to play a board game named Endeavor. It is built for three to five players with an hour and a half to two hours to spare. There are more pieces in the box than I’m comfortable with.
