The Star Trek novel universe experienced a major shift with the “Destiny” trilogy a few years ago, and the subsequent emergence of the Typhon Pact was a bit anticlimactic by comparison. In fact, there was a sense that the post-”Destiny” novels were struggling to find a direction.

For this game, it doesn't matter what your favorite Final Fantasy is, there's something in here you'll enjoy.

Resonance is the latest adventure game published by Wadjet Eye Games, and developed by xii games' Vince Twelve. It's been in development for over five years, and indie adventure game fans have been awaiting this release since an early demo was entered into the Independent Games Festival in 2009. The plot revolves around four characters who come together to help stop technology that a (now deceased) particle physicist created from falling into the wrong hands. While that's a seemingly straightforward enough premise, the intertwining lives and memories of the characters make for an engaging story.

"Hey, you." "What?" "Time to come out and play." "Did they release another RUSH pack?" "No, silly, I'm gonna be a DJ now."
