Parallax scrolling. The technique is a time old tradition in gaming. Multiple background images are layered behind one another and scroll at different speeds to give the illusion of depth. In the 8 and 16-bit era of games, this was almost ubiquitous for what was arguably the most popular genre around: platforming. You don’t see this technique used much these days, at least in the truest sense. 3D graphics and gaming engines allow more detailed and interactive...
Castlestorm: Definitive Edition is truly definitive. The re-release of Castlestorm and its two expansions: ’From Outcast To Saviour’ and ‘Warrior Queen’ in 1080p, 60fps have found a home on the next-gen systems.
In a post on Mojang.com the future of Console Minecraft was clarified. Xbox One, PS4, and Vita will all release in August of this year. Xbox One, will cost $19.99 unless you have already purchased the Xbox 360 version; in which case you can upgrade for $4.99. Your save will transfer up to the Xbox One version but not back again. Most, not all, of the DLC will transfer as well. You will not be able to play between the two platforms. The Vita version is free to anyone who has...
I occasionally take standpoints that to me seem quite mundane, but are actually contentious. One such standpoint is that I really just want all games to move to the Vita. I understand it is not possible for all games and will go to the full system when needed. But in the case of a game like Child of Light the chances of me playing that while tethered to my TV was phenomenally low. Now those chances have shot into the high 90s as Child of Light is making its way to Vita. It...
If you follow gaming media in any capacity you have probably heard of Octodad: Dadliest Catch. If not prepare to have your mind blown.
Once in a long while a game comes along that’s the perfect mix of the old and new. In 2012, that game came in the form of Dennaton Games’ Hotline Miami which was highly praised for its tight gameplay and retro style. Now, two years later fans will get to revisit the brutally violent world that Dennaton has created. Taking place in the early 1990’s, Hotline Miami 2 puts you in the shoes of a group of fans of the first game’s events and as the trailers...
From the same publisher Hotline Miami came to us from, Devolver Digital, comes LUFTRAUSERS. Similarly, like Hotline Miami, LUFTRAUSERS is a modern-retro style game. Using music and graphics that seemingly could’ve been done on an 8bit or 16bit platform, however, LUFTRAUSERS has been caked up for modern gamers. LUFTRAUSERS is an intense stylish 2D shooter that aims to give you one of the most intense 2D shooter experiences out there. The name of the game is simple...
You can check out the review here. Alright so you know there’s over 100 loadouts in LUFTRAUSERS. Some are freaking awesome, others are just quirky. I’m compiling the best ones I find below. Also, the best way to use each loadout listed below. So let’s get to it. Tuberauser – The Tuberauser is my old faithful. You can assemble the Tuberauser fairly early on. You’ll need the Laser, Armor for your body and the Superboost for your engine. The...
Hohokum is an intriguing and graceful indie adventure game being developed by Honeyslug, the makers of Frobisher Says! (not yelling at you, Frobisher Says! has an exclamation point in its name). In Hohokum you play as a small oval object with a long tail, Chris states what he though it was during This Game is Broken, and may not have been far off. But, Honeyslug clears up the confusion on their website by stating that you are a “flying serpent.” In...
Starting on November 26th, Soul Sacrifice will be free for Playstation Plus members. The game is a relatively new release and was widely accepted as an enjoyable game upon its release. It was touted as a “Monster Hunter killer” and though it did not live up to that Soul Sacrifice is still fun in its own right. I picked up the game a few months back during a Playstation Plus discount and proceed to spend over 30 hours in it. If you are a fan of collecting things, then...
