20 Double Fine Years is stuffed with art and interviews

Two decades of art and insight into Double Fine Productions I kind of can’t believe Double Fine has been around for 20 years. Where were you when you first heard aboutPsychonauts?

In collaboration with Indie By Design, Double Fine Productions is coming out with20 Double Fine Years, a history-recapping art book “with over 280 pages of commentary, concept art, and key visuals....

Aliens: Colonial Marines patched on all systems

May as well be using harsh language Gearbox Software has releasedthree big launch patchesfor all versions ofAliens: Colonial Marines, with a laundry list of improvements. If you’re hoping the patch fixes all the issues that netted the game its current44/100 Metacritic score, don’t hold your breath — certainly nothingIdisliked about the game’s been fixed.

Doors now open properly, the game now knows you’re not playing the campaign when you’re not playing the campaign, you will no longer get stuck in a quick-time-event close encounter once it’s over, and many other things!...

BARF: Silver the Hedgehog is in Sonic Generations

So far, I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve played ofSonic Generations, which has only made me suspicious. I was trying to work out what the “catch” was, and news from SEGA has finally revealed it … Silver the c*nting Hedgehog is a confirmed “rival” character. Making his debut in the awfulSonic 2006game, Silver is a hedgehog from the future with telekinetic powers.

Bargain Bin Laden #17: Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga

There’s a particular point in this week’s BBL that I’m going to say now, because I’ll invariably get kicked in the face for saying so — let’s get the face-kickin’ out of the way as quick as possible.

It’s a weighty claim, but one that I make with the sort of conviction usually reserved for only themightiestof bribes — which reminds me, Nintendo, just leave the check under the doormat....

Building, crafting, crashing, and laughing in Crashlands

I am a poet I’m fighting the urge to do the lazy blogger “if X and Y had a baby” thing, but I don’t know if I can help myself.Crashlandslooks like what would happen if The Behemoth (BattleBlock Theater) were to develop Klei Entertainment’sDon’t Starve. There, I said it. I hope you don’t think less of me now. Indeed, the trailer above for the upcoming open-world survival game feels like it’s trying to emulate the boisterous performance and sharp cartoon artwork of The Behemoth....
