The Humble Indie Bundle Gets Double Fine

The very popular gaming package for charity, The Humble Bundle, is the gift that keeps giving. This month’s selection only further proves that with a lineup featuring games from Double Fine. It works like the previous ones in that you select an amount you’d like to pay and breaking the average gets you one or more bonus items. You can  then allocate your payment to charity, the developer, or Humble Bundle, INC which runs the promotion each month. The titles up [...]

Boon Hill – Stories Beyond the Grave

The game industry as a whole likes to stick to certain formulas when developing games. The aspects of a game that are prioritized are usually action and gameplay, whereas the depth of the actual narrative can sometimes take a backseat. With Boon Hill, Matthew Ritter hopes to create a gaming experience based entirely on uncovering a story and exploring the past. Boon Hill is currently still a Kickstarter project in the works and is best described as a graveyard simulator of sorts. [...]

English Release for Tale of ALLTYNEX Gets Kickstarter

Considered one of the best Shmups for the PC, SITER SKAIN’s vertical shooter Kamui is widely regarded amongst fans. I’m not even that big into the shoot em’ up scene and I know how much praise the game gets. Exciting then for the game to be included in the upcoming Tale of ALLTYNEX collection. For all you fans of the genre, Kamui along with SITER SKAIN’s other two games ALLTYNEX SECOND and RefleX are in need of backing for a [...]

Katamari Creator Teases Alphabet Gameplay

When Keita Takahashi announced his newest game was going to be promoted as a part of the LA Game Space Kickstarter, I had to check it out. It was going to be quirky and the man clearly lives up to his legacy with this odd Alphabet platformer. Created with Canabalt creator Adam Saltsman, it really seems to work with the specific letters working together to overcome simple obstacles. It doesn’t look very complicated, but Takahashi’s games are more about accessibility [...]

[News] Transistor Announced and Trailer’d — From the Makers of Bastion

Supergiant Games has announced that they have been boiling up another pretty little game by the name of Transistor. Above you can watch the trailer, complete with a singer belting over all the pewpewpewing. As opposed to Bastion, this will be a “science-fiction-themed action RPG.” The whole team that created Bastion has been working on this, in addition to a few new members of the team, and judging from the trailer, you can most likely expect a similar experience. The same [...]

[News] Pocket League Story is Free on Amazon

A good deal on Kairosoft games is always newsworthy in my opinion. A free Kairosoft game is reason to celebrate. Right now on the Amazon for Android App Marketplace is a free copy of Pocket League Story ready for download. The reason for the freebie is simple. Amazon is now carrying multiple Kairosoft titles and felt they needed to make a splash in a big way. Currently they have on the marketplace English and Japanese titles for the following: Game [...]

[SXSW] Hands on With Leisure Suit Larry

Tucked away at SXSW this year was a small booth containing gameplay for Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards Reloaded. For those that have been sitting out the news, Leisure Suit Larry is back in 2d form from Austin based Replay Games. He has gone through Kickstarter. He has gone through Steam Greenlight. Finally, with a month until release, he was in playable form. As I was cautioned however, the game is still in Alpha. Hit [...]

[News] Anodyne Gets a Trailer

You know what, a description of the video is supposed to go here but I’m not sure what exactly this is.  Sure, one could say it is a trailer for a game that I gave a 5/5 review score to. One could say that, but this is not a trailer for a game. This is just…well…its a thing that needs to be watched. So you go do that now.

[Review] Croixleur

Croixleur is the hot new indie title from doujin localizer Nyu Media. If the term doujin is foreign to you, then here is a short lesson.  Doujin titles are independent titles from Japanese developers.  It is a common term for titles coming from independent studios, writers and mangaka. For some reason they decided to lump the entire definition of small self published works in to that title instead of just using the word independent like we did. That’s fine because [...]
