I have brought with me hidden treasures from The Basement Collection of Edmund McMillen. We’ve raved about Edmund’s designs in those other two indie games he made, but the [...]

Gaming Connoisseur: The Many Faces of Death in Games

Gaming Connoisseur: The Many Faces of Death in Games

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.

The Indie Boom Has My Attention

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.

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 [...]

Edmund McMillen Unlocks The Basement Collection in August

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.

Because We May – Indie Game Developers Hold Massive Sale

A group of indie game developers are holding a massive indie game sale from May 24 to June 1. The aptly name sale is Because We May.

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 [...]
