Kickstart Your Inner Porkins with Starlight Inception
A few days ago I foolishly announced that I was “done with this Kickstarter malarkey.” I like the concept and I’m sure we’ll get some gems out of this wave, but there are way too many people trying to get a piece of this pie. A pie has like 8 slices. There are currently 10 [...]
Steambrothers! To Arms! Sword and Sworcery EP Released on Steam
The ridiculously named, yet fantastic adventure game Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP just dropped on Steam. Sword & Sworcery released on iOS last year to critical acclaim. The game features some downright gorgeous pixel art and a soundtrack that many of us here still listen to outside of the game. While we loved the game [...]
Hey! Watch! El Guapo Reigns as TERA’s MMO-FO World Champion
I haven’t played En Masse’s upcoming MMO TERA, so I can’t speak to its quality. However, an endorsement by former King of Pancrase and UFC Heavyweight Champion Bas “El Guapo” Rutten (the guy who taught me how to kill a man in a bar fight) gets these guys two thumbs up from me. Watch Bas [...]
Legend of Grimrock Opens Its Dungeons on April 11th

Watch and Play the Air Buccaneers HD Alpha
Ludocraft have released a new gameplay trailer for Air Buccaneers HD, the successor to my favorite UT2004 mod involving multiplayer Pirates vs. Vikings airship battles. The video will give you a taste of what the ship battles look like, as you can see fully-crewed dirigibles broad siding each other out of the sky. I can [...]
PlanetSide 2 is Looking Good at GDC
Sony Online Entertainment is showing off a whole bunch of PlanetSide 2 at GDC this week, and thanks to the magic of the internet, you can watch its whole demonstration.

Hey! Play! Super Mario Bros Crossover 2.0
Jay Pavlina of Exploding Rabbit has released version 2.0 of his ridiculously awesome Super Mario Bros. Crossover. Since we last visited the game, Jay and crew have added new characters like Ryu Hyabusa and Bass, multiple skins for each character and a bunch of new music. The coolest change, though, has to be the new [...]
Mass Effect 3 Demo Goes Multiplayer
The Mass Effect series gets a lot of love ’round these parts, and for good reason. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better space opera this side of Star Wars. So, it’s a bit of an understatement to say that we are excited for the impending release of Mass Effect 3, which is now [...]

Star Trek Online Goes Free to Play with Announcement Trailer
Star Trek Online, the only MMO I’ve gotten a character past level 50 in, just went free to play this week. Sure, this is probably only exciting news to those of us who know what a warp nacelle is, but I’m ok with that. I’ve run into less douchebags in STO than any other online [...]
Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator Boldly Goes to Version 1.6
When Star Trek Online was first announced, my imagination ran wild with Trekkie dreams of manning stations with my friends to operate our own multiplayer starship. While I think STO ended up being a fine game, my multi-crew dreams were squashed by a very single-player ship experience. Enter Thom Robertson’s Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator. The game [...]
