This is a guest post written by: Tim Wedel Having spent over 300 hours in Dungeon Fighter Online, I was ecstatic when I found out that Nexon would be releasing Dungeon Fighter Live on XBLA in July. I took to Twitter to try and find a way that I could do some writing about the Xbox Live Arcade version and got a quick response from Raven asking if I would like to write a few pieces for Levelsave. Since Dungeon Fighter and Levelsave are two of my favorite things in the world, I...
The boss battle… its one of the most epic moments of a gamers childhood, you’ve battled your way through countless trooper class enemies and mini bosses to get to this one moment. It’s a moment where your palms get sweaty, where your grip tightens on the controller in your hands, this is what you bought the game for, the feeling of victory that you knew awaited your patience and dedication. Whether it was Ganon, Bowser or even Dr. Robotnik you knew the goal… Chase...
People have joked about this for a very long time but I never really understood it. That was until I was looking for a picture of Raiden to post in association with a Metal Gear Rising video. The difference between Rising’s Raiden and MGS4’s Raiden are night and brown. Thankfully Rising is lacking the “brown filter” apparent in MGS4. Hopefully this trend continues in more games and we see the rest of the spectrum used. Oh and this is a joke...
Sometimes the parameters at which I allow myself to operate in can by quite a hindrance. For example, the Retro Lancer you see in the last panel. For the sake of consistency all of the characters are created in a 30X30 square. This makes sure that the same amount of detail is carried throughout, unless I make a panel dedicated to a closeup of a character or action. This also makes it hard to create smaller detailed items, such as the Retro Lancer, and therefore harder to...
But really, where are those damn rails? I got to thinking about this a while ago while playing through Pokemon Black 2. One of the additions the developers have strived to achieve is a sense of place. Meaning that objects are not just obstacles but actually make sense. The walls are covered in posters, decapitation looks believable, and there are damn rails where there should be.
In this episode I decide that I am going to start using an ax. I do this for two reasons, you can not increase your base punch attack and the punch only ever does 215 damage. I do not want to watch that, and I can not imagine that you do either. Let me know what you think though because I might just go back to punching. Being frustrated may be more entertaining.
In this reoccurring feature I play through Pokemon Black 2. this series will try to avoid any key spoilers in the game. However, minor spoilers such as battles and character may be spoiled. This is not intended to be a review of the game and more of a written “Let’s Play.” For this reason it is written in first person since this is my experience. Be sure to leave a comment if you feel like it is lacking in any way. I had a goal when starting into the new Pokemon...
So I heard a little buzz about this game called Slender. In it you have to collect 8 pages while Slenderman chases you down in the woods. He will warp around, behind, and beside you anywhere in this forest. What this means is that you are trapped in an environment where jump scares are dynamically generated. The sheer terror generated from this ambivalent monster watching and chasing you is maddening. So when the dread has built, the mood is right, and you just start to feel...
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...
Andreas Illiger has done it again, Tiny Wings 2 (which shouldn’t really be called Tiny Wings 2 because in reality it’s just a massive update for the original Tiny Wings) has just hit the app store, bringing with it hours more of lost productivity and more fun than a barrel of monkeys*. But it’s not until you really look into the latest update that you see the cruel, twisted, dark world Mr. Illiger has depicted for us. The original Tiny Wings was about a...
