Hosted by Des Moines-based Insurtech company Denim , the inaugural event boasted the tagline, “Explore and shape the future of Insurtech.” And that’s…

In terms of quality, 2017 will inevitably rank as one of the greatest years in gaming history.
But as Charles Dickens would likely say, 2017 will also be remembered as the worst of times for the industry. Not from a gameplay perspective, mind you, but from a consumer and moral perspective.
It will forever be known as…

I've been in love with turn-based strategy games since the early 1990s.
I just didn't know they were called that, not until "Final Fantasy Tactics" re-energized the genre in 1998.
My introduction to the genre was the obscure and overly difficult "Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday" for the Sega Genesis. I tried the genre again with the…
Nintendo put a price on my childhood last week, and I gladly paid it.
Who wouldn’t pony up $80 for a 200-hour nostalgia trip? The Super NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) Classic hit store shelves Sept. 29, pre-loaded with 20 classic, early 90s Super Nintendo games and the never released “Star Fox 2.”
I was lucky enough to…

I’ve played enough good games this summer to fill my review docket for the next couple months.
But the game everyone asks me about is the one I have no intention of playing — “Destiny 2.”
I almost did, just for the sake of this column. I accidently ended up with two rented copies from my online…
If pop culture was a hearty meal, than nostalgia would be the mashed potatoes.
I snack on nostalgia almost daily, but these past few weeks, those snacks have turned into an all-you-can eat 1990s buffet.
My favorite platforming series of all time, “Sonic the Hedgehog,” finally got a proper 2D sequel. The controversial Sega CD game “Night…
By now, most regular readers know I spend my vacations behind a controller.
This past week was no exception, but there was a lot more to it than that. My wife and I spent a lovely weekend in Moline, Illinois, taking in a live WWE wrestling show that got us out of the house for the…

The internet feels wireless, but it isn’t.
The Apple announcement last week brought out all kinds of arguments. Some of the more negative ones are rooted in the Return on Investment for Iowa taxpayers. Most of these arguments are mathematically sound but they ignore the impact to Iowa’s internet infrastructure that end up benefiting…
