EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: The Detainee Author Peter Liney

In his debut novel, The Detainee, writer Peter Liney imagines a dystopian world where those who are incapable of taking care of themselves are sent to a prison called The Island. But while the book is fictional, Liney admits that the book’s origins, and thus its foundations, stem from some very real concerns about our society.

Originally released in the ’80s as a series of gamebooks, Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! has since made the transition to an interactive fiction game series for iOS devices. With the first installment, “The Shamutani Hills,” now coming to Android, and part 2, “Kharé: Cityport Of Traps,” slated for Spring, Inkle Studios’ Creative Director Jon Ingold discusses what this series is all about, why it’s only now coming to Android devices, and why it won’t be available on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One anytime soon.

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate: Deluxe Edition Review

Originally released on the 3DS and Vita, the side-scrolling beat-’em-up Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate was generally welcomed with a yawn when it came out alongside the vastly superior Batman: Arkham Origins last year. Now Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate: Deluxe Edition brings the game to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, WiiU, and PC, and with it, many of the same problems that plagued the original versions.

“Miles At The Fillmore: Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3” Review

 

Miles Davis was riding high when, on June 17th, 1970, he and his rock-infused electric septet walked onto the stage of New York City’s Fillmore East for the first of a four night stand. Bitches Brew had come out a few months earlier, In A Silent Way a few months before that, with both following the four years he’d spent leading his second great quintet.

Now, recordings of all four Fillmore East shows have been released as Miles At The Fillmore: Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3 (CD, digital).
