Just sharing some interactive new media

Some call them arthouse games, some call them interactive new media art, some debate if they can be considered art at all (or if they’re even games, for that matter).  Regardless of what one calls them, the following pieces of interactive new media that ARE expressions of the human condition.

I wanted to provide an [...]

Found Cave Story, so Im'a goin' Spelunky-n'

The past week’s gaming had a retro platforming vibe, mostly due to two games: Cave Story and Spelunky.

More (or download ‘em) after the break…

Pay what you want to Sleep (Is Death)

Pay any amount above US$1.75  for Jason Rohrer’s Sleep is Death and get to make stuff like this:

Wut?!

Seriously, if you were on the fence about Sleep Is Death (mentioned previously here) because of the price, well… that’s not an [...]

Pay what you want for a humble indie bundle

Update 2:  May 12, 22:00 (+8GMT)

More than US$1,000,000 was raised for the initial run.  The developers, therefore, decided not only to extend the promo (around 3 more days as of writing), but they will also release the source codes for Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra Overture!

Six great games, more than US$1,000,000 to great causes [...]

Because the PC (AGAIN) didn’t get any Super Street Fighter IV love…

… I had to try and fill the void in my heart with this Super Street Fighter IV exhibition match between Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong.  (If you call yourself a Street Fighter fan and you don’t know who they are… <speechless>)

Sleep is Death in the Penal Zone -> Bunny-hat wins!

Thanks to GamerDork podcast #038 (with Leigh Alexander weighing-in as guest), I was seriously convinced into giving Sleep is Death a spin.

In a nutshell, Sleep is Death is a two player ONLY game by Jason Rohrer.  It’s kinda like the game is actually just an interface for an old school  narrative role-playing-game (think DnD without [...]

US$12 >= Irukandji + Bullet Candy Perfect (+ Scoregasm)

The Irukandji + Bullet Candy Perfect for a $1 donation Easter Sale has ended.  For those who missed it, Charlie has a similar offer, with a pleasant little twist.

Boss Rush = Reverse Shmup

It’s already April 9 where I’m from, but perhaps there’s still time to get this sweet deal for Irukandji and Bullet Candy Perfect!.

If, however, you’ve been wanting to see what it’s like on the opposite side of a shmup, then you can try your hands at piloting a shmup boss in Boss Rush.

Easter Sale for Irukandji and Bullet Candy Perfect!

Until April 9, Charlie is offering both Irukandji and Bullet Candy Perfect! in a special bundle price of… anything above a dollar!

This promo has already ended, but a similar promo has taken its place.
