Traversing the dungeons of Torchlight with Sheryll and Ranka

Unleashing unrestrained devastation to the unending hordes of beasts and hellions in the surprisingly cavernous, well-lit dungeons of Torchlight, essentially an exercise in gambling for marginally improving stats, while listening to an unending loop of Macross Frontier’s JPOP divas, is utterly engrossing.  Sheryll Nome’s encouraging “FAITOs” dare me to press on. “Let me know what [...]

World of Goo costs whatever you want for 1st year anniv!

[update]

The sale has been so successful that 2DBoy decided to extend it ’till Oct25!

How much do people actually pay when they’re allowed to set their own price?  2DBoy was cool enough to give that info too!  ^^

By now everyone who knows what a good game is should already have this.  Just woke-up from a greater [...]

Is our space battle sim ready, ensign? Still gratuitously beta testing, SIR!

[update]

Gratuitous Space Battles has been released!  Demo here.

If it’s your thing, go buy it!!

[original post]

I’ve been neglecting the mention of an up-and-coming game by Cliff Harris called Gratuitous Space Battles, and in doing so, I’ve done a disservice.  The name is a pretty good description on what to expect, battles in space visualized gratuitously.  Gameplay [...]

World of Goo is 5 bucks this weekend on Steam

If the only thing stopping you from getting this wonderful wonderful game is the price, then Steam is giving you no excuses this weekend.

World of Goo is only five bucks (US$4.99) in this weekend’s Steam sale.  If you’re really stingy, check-out the demo 1st and find out if it’s worth it (yes it is!).

I’m telling [...]

World of Goo avaliable in Linux!

Read it from Kotaku. 2dBoy’s World of Goo (my personal Game of the Year for 2008) is now available on Linux.  Unfortunately, this is only valid if you buy/bought the game from their site , but I’m sure they’re working out the Greenhouse/Steam ports as well.

For now, get the linux version at 2dBoy’s site!  If [...]

There’s fraggin’, and then there’s puzzle fraggin’

The past week was filled with rave reviews on Left 4 Dead.  Since I already got myself a steam account last week, and since I’m assuming you’ll need Steam anyway to play Valve games, I was considering purchasing Left 4 Dead online so I can finally get my feet wet with multiplayer FPSs.

Two things gave [...]

Spectromancer, World of Goo at Greenhouse

Been quite a while since my last post.  A lot of stuff ate my time to write posts, but fortunately I was still able to look into a thing or two.  One of those is the stuff at Greenhouse.

I’ve been monitoring Greenhouse the past while for updates regarding Penny Arcade’s OtRSPoD:E2 (it’s supposed to come [...]

Penny Arcade’s “On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One” is Out!

“On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One“…
… whoa! That was a mouthful! Let’s try that again with an acronym…

OtRSPoD:E1 is an episodic game based on Penny Arcade, one of the best/most infamous webcomics to come out of the web. Is the game any good? I have yet to find out. [...]

"Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" Demo Review

“Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords” is basically a RPG (role-playing game). You pick a class, equip your character with stuff, take on quests, fight baddies, level-up, assign points to your stats, etc. Combat, however, is executed by playing a Bejeweled type puzzle.

Your level and equipment determine your HP (hit-points), and your class [...]
