‘Gregori Grimoire’ Gets Gruesome

Saw this over on Offworld; a piece of GMod Machima involving Father Gregori, some…. questionable magic tricks and a lot of dismemberment. It’s gaming’s answer to Pixar’s Presto, and it’s glorious. It had me laughing at quite a few moments, and is certainly the most amusing piece of theatre to come out of GMod so [...]

A Wonderful Mess: Tag

Tag is what would have happened had Mirror’s Edge had a baby with Mario Sunshine. That’s the sort of byline this game deserves, but ultimately it’s not anything like either of those games. You’re given a paint gun, three colours of paint, and a series of levels to traverse along (frustratingly, for the most part) [...]

Beer Better Gamer

I have an alcohol problem – I’ve ran out and the shops haven’t opened yet. Debased, gaming’s intoxicating varnish begins to crack and peel. Patrician 3 – the rum-soaked naval-trading gameĀ  – is naught but an exercise in navel-gazing without the unsteady waves of surreal unpredictability lent to a ‘Big in Germany’ game by a [...]

Who Says Games Aren’t Like Films?

Found this over at Offworld; an extremely elaborate way of solving one of Crayon Physics Deluxe’s levels by creating an astonishingly well done and, frankly, artistic counter balance of WALL-E and EVE, with a heart as the pivot. It’s just adorable, and, much like the film, involves EVE pulling WALL-E along as he’s entirely fixated [...]

Analysing the IGF: Between

Between is a game from Jason Rohrer, the maker of Passage and Gravitation, and it’s by far his most… baffling. It’s multiplayer only, requiring two people to play, and it relies on them having little to no direct contact with one another. Perhaps using the man’s own words to describe the game would be a [...]

Oh Valve, You Big Tease

We waited with bated breath. News was within our grasp, “just on the horizon”, they told us. Supposedly we’d hear, in the next week or so, that the first big update for L4D was going to be released, hopefully with versus maps for Dead Air and Death Toll, and maybe some extra nubbins. So when, [...]

I Left Randy Savage 4 Dead

Randay Savage was a bit before my time, but back in the day he was a pretty big thing in the wrestling business. Now with a new Left 4 Dead mod you can play along with the infected horde shouting out some of his famous phrases.
