Octodad DLC We Would Love to Sea

Octodad is an absolute blast to play. The one complaint I could levy against it is its length. Flopping around as Octodad is so much fun that it is probably natural to to want even more of it. But just as you are getting into the Octogroove, the game ends. So what is a gamer to do? You can only mow the lawn so many times before it is just as tedious as actually mowing the lawn. Looks like it is time for the DLC then! What? No DLC has been announced? Looks like it is time for...

Review: Secrets of Rætikon – A new angle on acute bird watching

While drafting this review I continually hit a wall in the form of the question “How do you review a game that is all about secrets?” Secrets, by their nature, are supposed to be hidden. So by explaining why Secrets of Rætikon is good I could easily ruin it. With that in mind, I have attempted to pen this review in a such a way as to withhold the secrets while also exploring the Secrets of Rætikon. Secrets of Rætikon places you in control of a man-bird-thing. You are...

Secrets of Rætikon lets you play as a bird made of triangles

A few years ago at PAX Prime several, of the LevelSave crew members sat on a couch and played game called Chasing Aurora. We sat there for far too long, passing Wii remotes and the Wii U Tablet to and fro, hooting with dread and joy. My main memory from that couch excursion was playing a modified version of tag with our bird characters. One player would have a lanturn in their talons while the other would try and hunt them down. The Wii Remote players would share a screen...

Nintendo announced Charizard, Mega Charizard, and Greninja for Super Smash Brothers Wii U

Today Nintendo hosted a Nintendo Direct that was all about Super Smash Brothers Wii U and 3DS. Everyone was expecting to see new characters announced but none seemingly were. Then, in typical Nintendo tomfoolery, the screen faded up and hundreds of Pokemon rained from the sky like meteorites. Charizard faced against the sky and was confirmed with a “Charizard Fires It Up!” He ascended to the sky and came crashing down inches from Mario. During the fight a shadow...

Get Hype for Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number with this new trailer

When the original Hotline Miami was released it snuck right past me. The talk of egregious violence surrounding the game pushed me further away from it still. Through a Humble Bundle it ended up in my Steam library and got itself a pensive click. I immediately understood the error of my ways and proceeded to fall deep into a psychedelic killing haze. Bragging time: I actually Platinumed the game on Vita. With the ferocious love I hold for Hotline Miami, it is safe to assume...
