Scott Pilgrim pitch video is epic
If you’re one of those people in the proverbial know, you’re likely aware that the Scott Pilgrim video game came out yesterday, and the film comes out two days from now. Pretty sweet, huh. It’s like living the dream. We’ll

New Double Fine game Costume Quest knows this is Halloween
Earlier in the day, rumors began to pop up about a new game from Tim Schafer’s studio Double Fine, the good people behind Psychonauts and Brutal Legend (more emphasis on the former, please). Something called Costume Quest. Now, after much

Bioware plays "Let's Take All the Good Features Out of Dragon Age: The Game!"
You know, I was behind Bioware when they said there’d be a conversation wheel. That was okay. Sure, it was a problem, but it was okay. A step back, but maybe two steps forward at the same time. I had

New Pokemon!: the not so fun edition
Well, depends what your definition of fun is. I have good news and bad news. The good news is there’s new Pokemon, and they look pretty fantastic. The bad news is that, with so much awesome padding, I can’t really

The Sumday Post: Something about the fambly cat
You know who’s a good band? Grandaddy. Maybe I listened to them and forgot, completely, to post your usual Friday collection of links. Maybe this is complete bullshit. Maybe I’ve just been playing Rock Band. But you have no way

What is Icarus? Some kind of mythological being.
What is Icarus? Well, besides a character in greek mythology (rather, a question about a character in greek mythology) and the non-child form of a B-list Nintendo character, it’s also a question prominently featured by the teaser site for Ken

Immortal Defense now 'pay what you want'
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUC6W9r-Bj8&hl=en_US&fs=1] When it comes to Tower Defense, there are three games in my mind: Defense Grid, Comet Crash, and Immortal Defense. The former is the best by the numbers approach to the genre. Comet Crash makes a lot of interesting

New Okamiden trailer looks like Okami, all right
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUGSASxeaU&hl=en_US&fs=1] I don’t know how to feel about Okamiden. On one hand, Okami is one of my all time favorite games, one that I’m destined to replay in the near future. On the other, it was a very self-contained thing,

New LittleBigPlanet 2 trailer indie rocks
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGKn-kltX_k&hl=en_US&fs=1] I’ve recently gotten back into the creation tools and modding tools in the original LittleBigPlanet; as a whole, the game is fantastic, and the modding tools add an absolutely absurd amount of quality content (and even more dreck).

The themes of Limbo
We’ve written pretty extensively about Limbo, the newest game taking the games as art community by storm. And it’s a pretty fantastic piece of work, to be sure. It’s one of the first games to subtlely convey art in a
