Unreal Deal Pack on Steam #2

I think I may post every time Steam has a sale on all the Unreal games because I love them so. This one also has the added benefit of being cheaper than I have ever seen.

Nab all the Unreal games for $10. Offer ends may 27th.

Seriously, do yourself a favor and frag with one of the most fun tournament shooters around!

Interview with Chris from TRU FUN about Rad Raygun

http://radraygun.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/ss01.jpg

Recently Chris from TRU FUN Entertainment answered some questions for us about Rad Raygun, currently on XBox Live Indie Games, being released for PC soon, and currently in the Greenlight process for a Steam release.

He was also gracious enough to send us along a review copy, which I played through. For the price, anyone with an XBox should check this game out. The gameplay is similar to Mega Man, with some other inspiration here and there from other titles, including Tetris. Yes, Tetris. Getting the hang of placing the pieces takes some time, but it's a great homage.

The art style perfectly represents the visual style of the original GameBoy, with some amusing cutscenes... Read All

There is also a teaser trailer showing an out of focus black box...

Fallout 3 Speedrun 30:09

The Speedrunner save/loads it for the best run through a particular area but that said, 30 minutes for Fallout 3 is pretty damn good. I think I spent more than 30 minutes in the vault alone.

I still haven't beaten this game, and I'm pretty sure I'm at least 20 hours in. It seems insane that they could finish the game that quickly!

Yeah, the runner uses a few glitches. One where he uses a vault suit to get over the Citadel wall early on to open the Vault to get the G.E.C.K. and then later on he uses frag grenades to get the final boss guy out of the room earlier than normal.

Pretty awesome run actually, fun to watch. He just runs around bad guys, and takes little damage. He beefed his Luck and a few times picked locks VERY quickly on hard doors. Also took practically no RAD damage due to his high allotment of medical.

I just watched it through and that's insane. The game took me just over 100 hours, though that's with most (pretty much all, I think) of the (non-DLC) side quests and of course no exploits. Obviously, I was not in any hurry.

Yeah that was about my playthrough time too.

Card Hunter - FANTASy tacTICal browser goodness

See what I did there, with the word within words? I know... *sigh

The first time I got to play Card Hunter was at PAX Prime last year, and it was a polished treat. Turn-based, tactical RPG, designed as a board game, but played in your browser. It runs on Flash, and it's silky smooth. The team at Blue Manchu have been in closed beta since January this year, and are currently accepting beta applications.

I love the digitization of physical board games, but only when developed with great care. Card Hunter isn't a physical game (yet, I'm assuming), but it has that same tangible presence. The hand drawn, 3-Dimensional game pieces, and the pen & paper... Read All

Fun 2D Breakout Style RPG

**the above let's play spoils star trek into darkness accidentally. you have been warned**

I have been knee deep in some really cool Cheerful Ghost development that I am excited to demo in the next few days. I haven't been playing a lot of games because of that, but I still like to have one game on the back burner I take out a play when I have some time. Right now that game is Wizorb.

Wizorb is a really fun retro style 2D Breakout RPG. You play a Wizard on a quest to save Gerudo and to do that you use your Wizorb and paddle to vanquish evil. Its a really unique concept and for someone that hasn't ever been excited about Breakout, this game peaks my interest.

The Firehose: Wolfenstein, Crawl + Risk of Rain

Kotaku released some very detailed images of Wolfenstein World Order. They look great and one image of a robot dog thing kind of reminds me of the mousers from Ninja Turtles, it might just be me though. :D

Crawl is a interesting and free new Minecraft meets Legend of Grimrock style game. You play a physician put into someone's mind to help treat trauma thus proving that geek minds really are a maze of dungeons.

Robotic Boogaloo Fan Update

I really like what Valve keeps doing with its games. Take for instance the new Team Fortress 2 update Robotic Boogaloo. After June 3rd when you play Team Fortress 2 you will get random crate drops. You can buy a key for $2.50 that will unlock it and reward you with various content created by the Robotic Boogaloo community artists. The revenue will be split amongst the artists and, I imagine Valve.

Its totally cool to see companies invent new ways to put money in artists hands and I applaud Valve for coming up with another way to do it. Checkout the Robotic Boogaloo site below and the "production drone" credits for whom participated in making it.

A Boatload of Free PC Games

I'll admit, I am a sucker for free stuff. Not that free is always good mind you, but the price is right. Recently I stumbled across a game site that catalogs all the good free games on PC called Freeware Games. I wanted to share it with you because I had forgotten about some of the games on the list and I know some of you somewhat new to PC gaming and might want to try a few games on the list.

Some awesome games of notes:

Black Mesa(The Fan Recreation of the original Half-Life.), CaveStory, Super Mario Bros. X, Team Fortress 2, The Original Grand Theft Auto, DOTA 2, League of Legends, Dwarf Fortress, Lord of the Rings Online, Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall & Kings... Read All

RIOT, An Upcoming Game About Political Conflict

"As the economical crisis advances, the discontent of an entire population cannot help but outburst in Riots, where the sounds of many voices get heard at once. The Director Leonard Menchiari has been experiencing this form of protest in person, and the game "Riot" was born as a way to express it and to tell the stories of these fights. What is it that triggers such a strife? What does a cop feel during the conflict? In "Riot", the player will experience both sides of a fight in which there is no such thing as "victory" or "defeat"."

RIOT was a game funded on Indiegogo awhile back that I only just heard about recently. The game has the style of Sword & Sworcery... Read All
