Magrunner: Dark Pulse, a Lovecraftian 3D spacial-puzzle game in the vein of Portal has hit 80% funding on GamesPlanet Lab. 3AM Games still have about a month before the end of their funding cycle, so that’s a very positive thing. We are going to see this game come to fruition! Yaaaaay!.. Ahem. In celebration of this milestone, there is a new developer’s update video detailing one of the levels you’ll be seeing in-game and clearing up some issues regarding...
Misfits Attic has been busy preparing for the launch of A Virus Named TOM. First, this game has you playing as a virus. A bit of code hell bent on the destruction of a retro-future Jetson’s-type world. This virus, as you may have guessed, is named TOM. The game plays like a 2D grid-based spacial puzzler and has you avoiding what I can only call antibodies. I assume they are little antivirus bits of code which are out to chomp some malware flesh. You go about and turn...
Hard Reset is a single-player FPS about a dystopian, cyberpunk future in which machines, out of control and rampaging, ravage the city-scape. There is an upcoming free downloadable expansion to the game, entitled Hard Reset: Exile, hitting digital distributors in the next couple of weeks which adds to the experience of the game and pits you against even bigger, tougher baddies. Ramping up to this release, we are getting a free artbook which details everything from the...
So yeah, since I only heard about this great-looking puzzle game a couple of weeks ago, so I’m sticking all of the A Virus Named TOM BETA Update Videos in one post for you to enjoy. Misfits Attic has just released the last one in the series, and the game is set to be released for digital download on August 1. Unfortunately the game is only for PC, but it looks polished and I wouldn’t be surprised if it did eventually come to XBLA or PSN, but that’s just...
So the Summer Sale has started and I’ve already blown a fistful of dollars. I finally picked up Portal 2 and Trine 2 is in my possession as well. Picked up those gems for about $8. With daily and flash deals, I’ll be checking Steam multiple times a day to see what new deals there are. God, I love Steam sales! At any rate, this isn’t an ad for Steam, this is a new release feature. So let’s get on with what few new releases there have been this...
Any fan of arena-style hordes-of-baddies FPS action will probably at least have heard of Hard Reset. As a cyberpunk drudge through increasingly awful situations, this game is pretty frenetic fun. Our friends over at Flying Wild Hog have just informed us that Free DLC is on it’s way to existing owners of Hard Reset. Entitled Hard Reset: Exile, this download will follow protagonist Major Fletcher into the Barrens where he will surely face waves of varied things out for...
KING Art is about to capture the growing US adventure fanbase on the PC with a release of their wonderful UK title, The Book of Unwritten Tales. With digital distribution the way it is, KING Art has found it fairly easy to export their smash hit game globally via Steam, Origin, GOG.com, et cetera. Mixing Western RPG tropes with heaps of parody and homage, this game promises to be a wonderful ride. July 31 is the date we can expect this beautiful-looking title. As a fan of...
In this edition of The Steamfeed we discover some old games that have recently made their way to Valve’s platform and also continue our theme of Free To Play from last week. Atlantica Online This 2008 Tactical Free To Play MMORPG looks like something straight out of Eberron. This fantasy, alternate-history, steampunky title looks like it could just be a lot of fun, maybe I should finally give it a try. Players take on the quest to destroy the Oriharukon, a powerful...
In this episode of Torchlight, we play around with enchantments, speak musically about mortality, and face The Overseer! Also, Normal difficulty is apparently Easy Mode for this game. To the mines!
3AM Games (an offshoot of Frogware, best known for their Sherlock Holmes adventure games) and Gamesplanet Lab (a new crowdfunding and digital distribution platform) have teamed up to bring us a Magrunner – Dark Pulse. My first peek at the videos and screenshots reminds me of both Portal (Valve cult hit gone viral) and Running Man (an 80’s Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.) The game starts off with the protagonist, named Yoshi, and his robotic dog Newton in the...
