Steambrothers! To Arms! Sword and Sworcery EP Released on Steam

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 enough in its mobile version to give it a Grimmy in 2011, not everyone has or plays games on an Apple device. So, we’re very [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Game of the Year

The definitive games of the year, but only one can win. The Nominees Bastion – Small teams aren’t supposed to be able to provide thought-provoking, polished game experiences. Bastion will be impossible to forget for action RPG fans while other gamers found themselves engrossed by the incredible story narration and beautiful visuals of a world on the edge of destruction. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – The bar has been set quite high for Zelda games, and as Skyward [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Downloadable Game of the Year – Coins Division

These mid-range priced games are well within the reach of cash-conscious gamers while still boasting incredible depth and value. From point and click adventures to old school vehicular shoot outs, 2011 was full of promising titles that went toe to toe with the big dogs. The Nominees Dungeon Defenders - Dungeon Defenders hasn’t lost momentum since arriving on PC and XBLA this past October, as its community continues to grow and content continues to flow from the chalices of Trendy Entertainment. As [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Downloadable Game of the Year – Bottlecaps Division

The price of a game is no longer an indication of quality or longevity as these low-cost morsels are exploding with shocking amounts of replayability and depth. Those upset about paying $60 for a 6 hour game may just find something to quench your miserly thirst. The Nominees Dungeons of Dredmor - Closer to the Rogue-like than the previously mentioned title, Dungeons of Dredmor’s humor and approachable mechanics are a perfect introduction to that style of game. It’s easy to spend dozens of hours carefully exploring Dredmor’s randomly generated dungeons and multiple skill [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Mobile Game of the Year

The mobile gaming market is rapidly changing so we decided to simplify: if you can hold it in your hand and take it with you while you play, it’s a mobile game. The Nominees The Last Rocket – Shaun Inman’s adorable rocket adventure is a deceivingly smart and addictive puzzle adventure. Tied together with great pixel art and great character design, it’s just as fun to play as it is to look at. Infinity Blade II – Chair and Epic [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Indie Developer of the Year

While we still love the high end gameplay of AAA developers, their idea pool has gotten a bit stagnant as of late. Fortunately for gamers everywhere, the little guys have come in force to produce games based on outside the box ideas that may just become genre standards in the near future. The Nominees Min Max Games (Space Pirates and Zombies) - MinMax Games may be the underdog in this category, which is probably appropriate for a 2 man team. Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ) made a splash this [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Co-op Game of the Year

Overwhelming odds tend to be the standard in gaming, so having a couple of well equiped buddies to back you up is never a bad thing. Douchebags need not apply, these games need teamwork…save your individuality for hipster parties and art school. The Nominess Gears of War 3 - The Gears series has been known for being one of the few games that features a 2 player co-op mode that doesn’t seem tacked on, but Gears of War 3′s 4 player [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Competitive Multiplayer Game of the Year

Multiplayer gaming is both for playing with friends who just can’t be there with you (or for those who don’t like to share their valuable screen space) and for those who like to completely own no0bs and dominate their competition. This is for the second group. The Nominees Mortal Kombat - Pit yourself Mano-a-mano, toe to toe, with your opponent in this rebirth of the Mortal Kombat franchise. Sometimes kicking the ever-loving crap out of your opponent is all you need to prove that [...]
