The Indie Gaming Roundup – Democracy, Scram Kitty and More
Last weeks Indie Gaming Roundup was heavy on action and intrigue, but sorely lacking in politics and cats. I’ve taken it upon myself to right those wrongs, right here, right now. …
Democracy 3 – The verdict
You sit there, watching Prime Minister’s Question time and you think, why the Dickens did he say that? I mean you know he’s opposed to that sort of policy and he’s strongly connected to this other group, so why throw a bone towards this marginal seat on a marginal issue?
Play Positech’s Democracy 3 for even ten minutes, and you’ll start to appreciate why. Politics. Politics is why, and it’s even more of a moral and intellectual quagmire than you ever feared… …
Eurogamer Expo – The Indies
Indie developers are great, they are often so approachable and friendly. The games they make are part of the sea change that is sweeping through the industry.

Be that for the right or wrong reasons, that isn’t for me to say. I do know though that Our Week in Games next Sunday will see me talking about the game. Back to today, hit the jump and see what we have been playing. …
The Cliff Harris Interview
I’ve only ever done a handful of face-to-face interviews in my adventures here on The Reticule and most of them have gone ok, but certainly not great. At the Rezzed show in June I was taking a peak at the Democracy 3 and Redshirt stand and happened to see a face I recognised from Twitter and his blog, it was Cliff Harris, the man behind Positech Interactive. …
Democracy 3 Announced – Politicians Eager to Learn How to Run a Democracy
Cliff Harris of Positch Games has today announced his next game, Democracy 3 which will be released sometime this year. Early rumblings are that several famous politicians will be eager to get their hands on the game so they can learn how to actually do their jobs. Bit more after the break, (but thankfully no more lame political jokes – joke Ed) …
