I wandered through EVO until I saw a rainbow in the middle of the ballroom. I followed it only to find My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic being played furiously. Can the players friendship stand up against competitive fighting? Video after the jump.
Side scrollers have seen a reresurgence with the advent of mobile gaming. What used to be considered too “old” for gaming is now back with a vengeance. Fighter games have also seen a renaissance thanks to Street Fighter 4. So it’s no surprise that Super Combo Man seeks to combine both genres into a solid experience. Video after the jump.
Games going for the old-school graphics seem like a dime a dozen in this era where cashing in on nostalgia is usually a ploy to make something cheap.If someone told me that they made STF look old so they could fit more stuff on the screen, I’d believe them. This frantic game was a blast to play and I got to sit down with Nathan Vella about it. Video after the jump.
Among the various indie games at the EVO Indie Showcase was the mildly successful Skullgirls. After a tournament filled with surprising matches, I sat down with Mike Zaimont to talk about all things Skullgirls and the future of Autumn Games. Video after the jump.
As I stumbled through the massive crowd at EVO a game caught my eye. It looked like a side-scrolling version of Madworld, complete with blood popping out against black and white. I also got to talk to co-creator Ben Rutz about it. Though we only covered the beat-em-up portion of the game, I was able to grab some screens for the strategy portion of the game. You can see those after the jump
I Wanna Be The Guy, the legendarily difficult Freeware platformer is getting a sequel. It is going to be debuted at this year’s EVO 2012 pre-show on July 5th. Little is known about the new game, entitled I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden, but it can be safely guessed that it will feature the original game’s diminutive hero, it will contain many references to other games, and it will be hard. So hard.
