Lately, we’ve seen larger companies using it to stay afloat, which goes a bit against what I think it should be used for. So today, we’ll take a look at some of the more unique and interesting [...]

[Wormlight] Radio the Universe

[Wormlight is a spotlight feature where we introduce something awesome and explain why it's worth your time] Usually I don’t do Kickstarter posts talking about why you should really think about supporting a game because that’s their job.  I however have been in a Zelda-like mood what with Binding of Isaac and Anodyne interviews back to back, so when I see something interesting pop up in my twitter feed from the charming Sophie Houlden of Swift+Stitch fame, I pay notice. [...]

[News] Lone Survivor Coming to PS3/Vita

  Jasper Byrne’s Superflat Games blog has announced that his fantastic game Lone Survivor will be re-coded from the ground up (by Curve Studios) for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, bringing its unique sense of dread, horror, and absurdity to an entirely new audience. Sony has been showing an initiative to get smaller, more interesting games on its platform, so there’s no surprise they’d be interested in this indie gem. I can see this being a great game to sit [...]
