So this is what it is like to write for Cheap and Dirty. No pants. No shirt. No funds. But plenty of games. I could get used to this.

Death gets around. He’s not shy about making a cameo, cracking a joke, or just doing his duty. The concept of Death as a character has him surrounded by heavy doses of mystique and power. His job is simple but designing a video game around him is no small task as evidenced by the fact that its taken until 2012 for Death to get the leading role in a game. Throughout August, Horrible Night will be featuring articles on Death [...]

I tend to be an observant person. I pay attention to what is going on around me and develop my opinions based on what I see. I especially enjoy observing what games the younger generations are playing. Sitting in an airport can teach you a lot about what kids are playing today. As it isn’t a trip to the airport until a kid runs into something because he is preoccupied playing a DS game. While on vacation recently, I discovered [...]

Sure, Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac may be some of our favorite games here at Horrible Night, but these games also helped make game designer, Edmund McMillen, a bit of a household name. Edmund, however, may actually prefer staying in the basement if you are the type that reads into announcements for potential puns. You see, Mr. Edmund, has a more than just two titles under his meaty design belt. I started salivating at a few of [...]

The premise is simple and has the type of elegance that can bring down an opera house. We believe that developers should have the freedom to price their games how they like, without interference from the online stores that sell the games. Sold. I don’t need any more reason than that, but if you’re a little [...]
