Depreciating ART HAUS Games

One of my best kept secrets (nope) is that I paint. Is it fancy and artistic? No. This is because I am literally the worst at using metaphors and similes, like a parrot with its wings clipped. Does that make sense? No? See? So while I’ve spent so much time loving what I dub “ART HAUS” games, the reality is that 99% of the time, I have absolutely no idea what they’re about. They’re the ones that try to drive [...]

 

Classic Songs That Could TOTALLY Be About Video Games

Music is such a fascinating art form because it is ubiquitous yet elusive. It’s something that can resonate by just having it on in the background. Songs evoke specific feelings and specific moments in one’s life, and when well-placed can transform a scene in a movie or game into something truly special. Consider the comic strip above. Jimi Hendrix died over 40 years before Minecraft was created, but that badass lyric from Voodoo Child has an entirely new meaning as [...]

[Featurama] Why I’m thankful for Journey

I found myself in a wasteland. Sand everywhere, and nothing in sight except for the dunes below my feet and a tall, glowing structure far beyond the obstacles I was set to travel. As I kept trudging, floating along, I saw a figure dressed in white. Adorned with a scarf as long as the wind’s strides, this journeyer was a friend. We walked together, but in my state I’d still not known why I was walking towards this structure or [...]

Welcome to another week, and another episode of the Twinfinite Sexy Fun Time Podcast. To tie in with Rex Wolff’s collaboration on all of the staff’s favorite musical pieces from video games, we decided it’d be a good discussion topic for the podcast!

[Staff Featurama] The Power of Music

Music is amazing. Without words, without plot or concrete meaning, it has the ability to bring out emotions, to elevate a moment into an unforgettable experience. In this interactive post, we, the staff of Twinfinite, explore this, sharing our favorite music, some of our favorite moments, with you, the reader. After the jump, you’ll find our testimonies, our memories. I ask that, as you read, you play the many excellent and varied tracks as they come, so that you may [...]

[News] Journey Collector’s Edition Announced; Includes Fl0wer and Fl0w

Every week I get an email from Brett McLeod asking me if I’ve played Journey yet. And every week I tell him “Yes I did, shut the hell up!” In all seriousness though, Journey is a wonderful game that reaffirmed some of my faith in humanity. Yes, it does live up to the hype. However, at 2-3 hours long I can’t really say that the game is worth the $15 asking price no matter how much of an emotional reward [...]

[Review] Journey

We live in an age of action and violence, and it is rare for a game to be as daring as Journey for the PSN is. ThatGameCompany places you in a desert, stranded, with no direction aside from the basic control scheme of movement of yourself, and your camera. You have no choice but to move forward, and in a distance, you see a mountaintop with a beam of light. From there, the journey begins. Is Journey worth the risk [...]
