Bastion was a landmark achievement in the transition of indie games into the mainstream and one of our favorite games of 2011. Developer Supergiant Games has certainly been busy in converting Bastion to platforms we never expected for an action-RPG of this caliber (like Chrome and iOS), but that’s not all they have been up to. This weekend at PAX East, Supergiant will be bringing a playable version of its new game, Transistor. What is Transistor, Supergiant describes it on [...]

As a father, game time is a unpredictable and spontaneous. You play when you can, whenever you can. I rarely even play 10 different games in a year, let alone 10 games that came out that year. As a true Backlog Commando I try to not leave any of the good ones behind. It might have not come out this past year, but here are the 10 games that that were graced with my golden trigger fingers in 2012. coopopolopolis’s [...]

Horrible Newswire: Celebrate While There is Still Time

PAX Prime always signals the end of the summer gaming drought for me. The final hype before the big push into the major release months. Hats off to Konami for making its presence known this year, but MGS updates seem about as interesting as Final Fantasy updates these days. We wrapped up our monthly look at Death in Games and Cole cautions everyone to never let one review make up your mind for you. Last Week’s Headlines The World Ends With [...]

The Wheel of Video Game Life and Death Keeps Turning

So I got to thinking about Toy Story the other day. You know, the Pixar movie with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen where all the toys are actually alive when their owner’s not there? I was thinking about it while laying in bed in the middle of the day with the lights off, the fan on and the curtains closed because I had a monster of a migraine and lights made my head all the more hurty. The concept’s pretty [...]

Indie games are something I don’t have a ton of experience with. For the most part, the games have eluded me. It is not because they are sneaky and are hard to catch, it’s that I’ve yet to be pushed enough to seek them out. There are exceptions to this, especially when it comes to the more mainstream indie games. Overall, the games remain a mystery to me and it might stay that way. Throughout May, Horrible Night will be [...]
