[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 [...]

[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 [...]

[Review] Anodyne: Odd Name, Odd Game

I’ve been covering Anodyne fairly regularly here on Twinfinite. I initially tried the first demo, which was ok, and then I was legitimately surprised by some of the later levels we were able to reveal through our TSFT Podcast. For a two man project, the game certainly looked like something worth a second glance. Read on to see if it lived up to my expectations.

[TSFT] Episode #36: Green Steamlight

Welcome again to this week’s edition of the TSFT Podcast. We brought on big Keith’s comrade Sam Shaw to talk about the newest community “experiment” from Valve, Steam Greenlight.

[Review] Eryi’s Action

Eryi’s Action is billed as a platformer with a punishing difficulty. Now, where have we hard that before? Modeled after games like I Wanna Be The Guy and others, Eryi’s Action is another of those platformers designed to create a feeling of absolute hatred towards one’s own controller. Hit the jump for the full review.

[News] First Batch of Steam Greenlight Titles Announced

[Review] War of the Human Tanks

War of the Human Tanks is a very literal title. It’s a war between tanks that are human. I swear I’ll do a better job at describing the game after the jump, but I just wanted to get that out of the way first. I didn’t actually know what I was getting into when I received a copy of this game in my mail one morning besides the trailer that was included with it. I have to say that after [...]
