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...

Second Titanfall Patch Nerfs Gooser, Players Rejoice

The second Titanfall patch went live today with a ton of fixes, updates and most importantly, the nerfing of the Gooser regen requirement. In case you don’t know, you must complete specific challenges in order to regen in Titanfall (which is much like prestige in CoD). One of the challenges for the level 5 regen was called Gooser. You were expected to kill 50 ejecting pilots in order to proceed to the next gen. This is a difficult task and the community let Respawn...

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...

Broforce is my kinda awesome

The past couple years have been slick with irony. Everywhere you look people are doing things they do not really enjoy for indecipherable reasons. Over time this has slowly evolved into an unironic appreciation of the ironic; this may or may not itself be ironic. In more succinct terms, the irony has backfired and made me personally, enjoy what are objectively the dumbest things. That is why, when I received an email informing me of the existence of a game called Broforce I...
