You know that a game is good when you struggle to quit playing long enough to write up a review. That’s the case with Canabalt from Austin-based Semi Secret Software.

In his latest Flashbang, Dax reviews Phage Wars and finds it oddly calming.

Dax is back with a brand new Flashbang review, this time spotlighting a futuristic sports game.
