It is a quiet morning on the ice flow. Tiny baby seals scurry about chasing each other and splashing playfully in the water as their fat, bloated mothers lay motionless on the ice. Suddenly there comes a rumbling from beneath. Out of a glowing portal spring dozens of stout club-wielding minions and their master–a hulking, […] Add comment
In Trine, the player takes on the role of three fantasy stereotypes who have become trapped in an ancient artifact called the Trine. Presented with 2-dimensional platformer challenges, one must choose which character to pull from the Trine at each moment, each one with a different way of dealing with situations (sort of like a […] Add comment

People want to skin their devices as a mark of pride, personal expression, or […] Add comment
It’s like they’re not even trying to be original. The demo has one eye, the little girl brings out a bat and double jumps, there are sniper, soldier, and heavy classes… Egads, even the music and the cinematography are eerily similar blatantly duplicated. See for yourself and laugh the night away. via Kotaku Add comment

Xbox Live recently released a ‘do not do’ list for indie developers who would like to include Live avatars in their games.

Coming in three distinct flavors is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The non-subtitled release is a crossplatform FPS which plays very much like a dark TF2 with robots. Players choose one of 13 morphing robots, each with their own weapons, special abilities, and clearly defined teamwork roles. It also has a single player campaign, but […] Add comment

What do we do with four Solid Snakes? Is this co-op MGS? The details are still sketchy, and the best info […] Add comment
For fan service, this 2D treatment of the classic Super Mario 64 is pretty damned good. It’s not stunningly high quality, but if you loved Super Mario 64, you’ll definitely get a kick out of this. There is something to be said about the nostalgia kick going on; all the kids who grew up playing […] Add comment
In the middle of the chaos of E3, Brian and I were invited out to Pandemic studios on the West side of LA. It was a nice break from the frantic action of the Expo to relax and enjoy a one hour commute in standstill freeway traffic amongst honking motorists. Living the dream. At Pandemic […] Add comment
It was the biggest surprise of E3 for me. The Disney Interactive booth was not one that I eagerly made tracks to. Sure, I’m a huge Disney fan, but I can’t say I can muster much excitement for a DS game focused on the hilarious antics of the Jonas Brothers. I didn’t even set foot […] Add comment
Dwarf Fortress is maddening, difficult, and bug-ridden, but it is also one of the most unique and hilarious gaming experiences out there. Add comment
