I don’t want it to seem like I was cheering against Blizzard’s auction house, but anyone who had as many connectivity issues as I did with the game has to laugh at the situation now. I’m also fascinated by the fact that I cannot bring myself to help fund a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time, even if it is made by essentially the same people. Silicon Knights, I mean, Precursor Games, needs to raise money [...]
Humble Bundle has yet another weekly bundle action action pack out, this one featuring games from Blendo Games. For $1.00 or more you get Atom Zombie Smasher, Flotilla and Air Forte (plus the soundtracks) while those generous enough (that term is used loosely here) to pay the average or above will also get Thirty Flights of Loving (also includes the soundtrack). While I haven’t played all of the titles featured in this package, I played Atom Zombie Smasher obsessively and promise that paying [...]
Not much is clear in December in the gaming industry, at least until the awards come out. Until then, it’s filled with a lot of reflection and predictions and last minute shuffling for the next quarter of releases. The weirdest thing? The VGA’s turned out to be watchable this year. Predict that. Ethan continued to blow through his game queue and caused more than a few explosions in Far Cry 3, while the SGBF’s tried to make sense of the [...]
Animals and the Wii U duke it out this week for the affection of the SGBF’s. Also, Josh likes colossus, Justin cries over Connor, Cole plays with furries, and Ethan learns to love the jungle. Super Gaming Best Friends: the podcast where Horrible Night writers and friends get caught up on their latest video game adventures and then get to know each other better by discussing off-topic interests. This episode was recorded live on the Horrible Night Twitch.tv Channel. Follow us [...]
2012 is coming to a close and so is Nintendo Power. It’s also never too early to talk holiday sales figures or find new ways of making money. We of course continue to be engrossed in the Wii U while we turn our attention to wrapping up as many games as possible (with reviews) before the world year ends. Last Week’s Headlines Double Fine chooses its Amnesia Fortnight games How do the Wii U first week sales stack up? Wii [...]
Double Fine has been making a name for itself for its creative approach to game development and promotion. After setting a new bar on Kickstarter, Double Fine is moving back to the creative pool that brought forth games like Costume Quest, Stacking, Iron Brigade, and Once Upon a Monster – the Amnesia Fortnight. Which essentially give the Double Fine team a break from active projects and splits them up to work on 4 brand new projects over the course of [...]
Justin, Josh, Ethan and Cole all agree that it is no small feat when a game that’s designed to be hard comes out to be just a fun and memorable as its more forgiving cousins. They discuss the intricacies that separate the hard games from the cruel games. The Horrible Show – Join the editorial staff of HorribleNight.com as they discuss a variety of entertainment-focused video game topics. This show was recorded live on Twitch.tv/HorribleNight. Live podcasts are featured monthly. [...]
The ”pay what you want” bundle has become as common lately as the independent games it features. I can only describe the ability to pay whatever price I want for a diverse selection of games as unreasonable but in a sort of positive way. While my familiarity with this style of commerce has been driven by the friendly folks at Humble Bundle, they do not have the monopoly on the world of bundles as evidenced by yet another derivative arriving to the market in the [...]
Those who thought the geniuses over at Humble Bundle were playing favorites with the PC may be shocked to find out that the second bundle made specifically for Android smart devices is available for savvy gamers who are too busy to play cheap games at home. This means that you didn’t know about the previous Humble Bundle, thus proving you’re out of touch with what’s cool in this world. Instead of slobbering all over yourself in embarrassment and self-pity, why not go [...]
So it turns out that the 3DS is doing just fine. Fine enough for an old friend to swim its way to the system and for demons to invade your brain. Didn’t follow that? You may be more interested in Syndicate reviews as they are making about as much sense. The Horrible Night writers were a bit retro, a bit apologetic, and a bit scared. Emotional week for sure. Every day we are on the look out for the most [...]
