1. Mike Doyle has taken a few years off from reimagining game art (more's the pity), his latest creative venture involves LEGO sculpture.
2. Lovely story about reliving 1940's LA via a video game (HT @StewartWoods)
3. Pretty much spot on review of X-Wing and the various X-Wing Expansion Packs
4. Jackson Pope dissects the corpse of Reiver Games. Happily he still has the game design bug, and is blogging his work-in-progress 'Codename: Vacuum'.
5. In the space of a few hours, Daniel Solis creates, refines on twitter and releases another game into the wild - Picker is a simple dice game.
6. A big week for iOS boardgames saw Knizia's Qin, Alien Frontiers, GMT's first iOS game Dominant Species and the Sackson classic Can't Stop released. Qin was the first simultaneous iOS and physical boardgame release, and is getting good reviews. Both Alien Frontiers and Dominant Species look like faithful conversions of their parent game. Can't Stop however suffers from the too many animations disease; a quick push-your-luck game is bloated into an exercise in tedium.
