If you like DuckTales and really enjoyed the DuckTales game where you hop around in the guise of Scrooge McDuck, then I have a huge surprise for you (well I don’t, but the people that originally broke the story do). DuckTales Remastered has been teased as part of Capcom’s catalog at Pax EAST. Just watch the teaser trailer as I’ve had way too much to drink today. Hurray…hurray! Sources Joystiq Gamer’s Prey
Goat and mouse. A bro combination so powerful that they could not be contained to one game. Ian Stocker of MagicalTimeBean has announced via an interview with IndieStatik that Escape Goat 2 is headed for a PC release later this year. Ian has stated that Escape Goat 2 will be similar in style to the first game with its focus on single room puzzles, but for the first time he will be working with an artist which makes the biggest [...]
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a re-imagining of classic Mario-clone The Great Giana Sisters. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise, Black Forest Games ran a successful Kickstarter in June of ’12 to create this new entry. The Machinae Supremacy soundtrack may own bones, but will that be enough to get Justin through some questionable level design and his lack of platforming skills? Join Josh in heckling him in this hot ‘n fresh Reflex Review! This video is intended for [...]
Tiny Barbarian DX is an action platformer made with a serving of retro gaming respect and a dollop of Conan the Barbarian. Ethan Moses speaks with creator Michael Stearns about the game, indie game development, and his views on Kickstarter/Greenlight. The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews about a single video game, genre, news headline, or industry story. It features a rotating cast of up to 3 members of the Horrible Night writing staff [...]
The crazy French developers at Arkedo Studio made a new game. That game is called Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit. It involves an undead cape-wearing rabbit (who is also the Prince of Hell) trying to recover stolen photos of him masturbating with a rubber ducky. Naturally, this game is a metroidvania-ish side scroller with WarioWare-like boss battles. Visually, HY!WOTDR is marvelous. Controls are also smooth and tight. Is the game fun? We can tell you one thing for sure. [...]
The prototype for Broforce was pretty much a calling for our brothusiast, Ethan. He joins Free Lives’ Creative Director, Evan Greenwood, to discuss the game, the true definition of bro, how to survive the flying sharks of South Africa, and more. The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews about a single video game, genre, news headline, or industry story. It features a rotating cast of up to 3 members of the Horrible Night [...]
The duders at Klei Entertainment are trying their hands at the 2D stealth platforming genre (what?!) with Mark of the Ninja for XBLA. Mark of the Ninja is to Shank as Pizza Rolls are to Pizza. It’s got all the flavor of the original recipe, but product as a whole is superior in every way. If Shinobi, Tenchu and Samurai Jack had a three-way-baby, they would name him Mark Oftheninja. This video is intended for a mature audience as our [...]
One of the most tiring trends of the N64 era was the endless parade of new mascots in 3D platforming games. Personally, my biggest sigh+eyeroll combo came at the announcement of Twelve Tales: Conker 64. I had never seen a more generic video game or video game character in my life. Why would Rare need Banjo-Kazooie AND Conker? It made no sense. Of course, I shut my mouth years later once Conker 64 experienced a major redesign in the form [...]
Listen, we know what you’re thinking. “Oh, another indie platformer.” But Spooky Squid Games’ They Bleed Pixels oozes too much charm (and blood) to not stop and take a gander. It has tight platforming, surprisingly deep fisticuffs, lovely Lovecraftian homagery and one smooth-ass chiptune soundtrack. But don’t take our word for it. Watch this episode of Game Curious to pass judgement for yourself. This video is intended for an mature audience as our commentary is not kid-friendly: For more Game Curious [...]
If there was one thing seriously disappointing about jumping on the bed in my youth, it was the fact that it didn’t create awesome music. Enter Sound Shapes, a musical platformer from Queasy Games, to rectify the wrongs of yesteryear. Sound Shapes is nothing less than infectious, painting the picture of one grand adventure through lands heavily inspired by the music you help create as you play. The kicker is that the journey is over rather quickly and the hooks [...]
