Chesh hearkens back to those moments when you first learn the rules of games like Chess, when you need to put your faith in design over logic.
Bret and Steve sit down to talk about Far Cry Primal, Cryptark on PS4, and other news regarding Toronto developed games.

"Most all games owe their existence to some sort of forebearer. Most all fighting games can be traced back to Karate Champ, first-person shooters can all be genetically linked to Wolfenstein 3D, and so on. Even board games have their ancestors -- Backgammon, Shogi, Go, and of course, Chess. Almost all games attempt to build upon a winning and familiar formula, and some of them succeed whereas others are not so fortunate, regardless of reason. When I was offered the opportunity to review a new spin on Chess, I jumped at the chance to see if someone had stumbled upon the secret to creating a new classic, a miraculous reinvention of the wheel.
The game is called Chesh, and sadly, it is not the reinvention it touts itself to be."
TTP:" Chess is one of the more popular board games, with a precise set of rules that hasn’t been altered in a very long time. This is definitely an advantage for dedicated players, as they can refine their technique without having to worry about any change that might disrupt their best strategies. However if you’d like to have an element of surprise in your chess matches, you may want to check out a unique iOS chess game that will be released on the App Store next month."
