From G4Box and the interestingly named My New Children Inc., comes a new massive multiplayer online fishing game called Fishing Hero. This concept got some of us at the Twinfinite office very curious, so two of our writers set sail into the virtual blue yonder to give you their impressions of the game, letting you know whether or not Fishing Hero is worth looking into.
Last year Stardock released a very interesting little game with Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. The idea was to merge two of the biggest strategy options in the tactical SRPG and empire building simulation. Bold choice to say the least as both genres are notorious for sucking away hours of your life. As a tactical SRPG fan, the game has certainly been some good fun to spend the last few weeks previewing. On May 22nd they are planning on expanding Fallen Enchantress [...]
Fans of Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (2002), the critically acclaimed survival horror classic on the GameCube, have reason to celebrate. After ten years of waiting, and numerous failed attempts at making a sequel, it seemed that Eternal Darkness was in some sort of development limbo. Many lost hope. Yet, on May 3rd, the original team of developers announced that they are launching a crowdfunding campaign (which begins Monday, May 6th, at 12:00 PM) for a “spiritual successor,” tentatively titled Shadow [...]
Divekick is dumb. Divekick is so dumb. Divekick is amazingly dumb. Divekick is the most fun I had at PAX East this year.
As I was cruising the showfloor at PAX this week, something caught my eye. Whoops. Sorry, my ear. Screaming. Looking over at the Astro booth, I immediately saw a terrified young woman virtually being killed by a ghost. A common sight at PAX, to be sure, but this particular game seemed different. Daylight is a procedurally generated first-person horror game by Zombie Studios, who you might know from the free-to-play Blacklight: Retribution. Oh, and I guess maaaaybe it’s worth mentioning [...]
Any time the words “Double Fine” and “new game” show up in the same sentence, you have my attention. Obviously, when I first heard that Double Fine had a new game coming out for the Leap Motion Controller, I was intrigued; mostly because I had no idea what the Leap Motion Controller was. I was able to play Double Fine’s Dropchord at PAX East and now, boy, do I want a Leap Motion Controller.
I didn’t want to play Guncraft because of its name. I’m glad I did, but I want to start with a mini rant of sorts because I feel like jumping on bandwagons when you have a legitimately good idea is a bad way to go about developing a game. Yes, Guncraft has the same graphics as Minecraft. Yes, it has building gameplay like Minecraft. No, it’s not made by Mojang, rather, it’s made by Exato Game Studios Why then, hop [...]
One of the few releases I was looking forward to most this year was Dontnod’s Remember Me. I knew very little about it so I was pleasantly surprised to see it before me at PAX East this weekend. But what I found was that there are even fewer releases that I’m excited for this year now.
I had the opportunity to stand up again and talk to Greg Kasavin, Creative Director behind Supergiant Games, about their latest work, Transistor. Being such a critical and commercial hit, it was a wonder how Supergiant Games would top Bastion, but from their progress so far, it’s looking like we will have another groundbreaking experience to look forward to in early 2014. Hit the jump for some gameplay straight from Supergiant’s booth. Alternatively, click here for Trey’s full written preview.
We had the chance to check out this extremely impressive brawler called MechKnight Chronicles in the Indie Mega Booth at PAX East. I spoke with the co-founder of Dinosaur Games Jesse Sosa to see how they put this wonderful and impressive demo together in just two and a half months. Very nice guy, and we can’t wait to see where this game goes in another two and a half months!
