Why Games Should Never End
We’ve finally figured it out with years of study. The hardest part of designing a game is not coming up with the idea, or original mechanics, or balance, or any of that stuff. It’s figuring out how the darn game ends satisfactorily. This problem, by the way, is not left solely to boardgames. Movies, comics, […]
We Work With Wii
The glowing blue light that greeted me this morning informed me that a present was waiting for me on my Wii: the trial release of the browser for Wii has been released! And of course, Critical Hits was the first page I loaded. I’m happy to report that the page works perfectly with the Wii […]
YouTube of the Week: Stop Hiring Him! Edition
I don’t watch Spike TV, so I didn’t catch these when they first aired. And I cracked up because I didn’t know what was coming. This one is the best, the other two in the series after the jump.

And sometimes with that mechanic, you’ll need some other mechanics to actually make a game. This happened to a game designer friend of mine recently who had a group of crazy-good […]
Critical Hits Gift Guide #3: Games
First, let me give a big shoutout to Ogrecave and their yearly Holiday Gift Guide on games. I’ve found quite a few great games through there and the guys who put it together are very knowledgeable. They focus on a few specific areas of games and list a bunch for each. Also, Boardgamegeek has their […]
YouTube of the Week: HALP STUCK C64 Edition
A hamster is stuck in Monty On The Run, an old videogame. Oddly hypnotizing. Found via Boingboing.
