Scribblenauts Remix out on iOS.
They fixed lots of the issues I had with the original DS game. This could be the next Angry Birds.
Outland
A cool game for XBLA it’s like limbo meets prince of persia (the original) fun platforming/puzzle solving with a little hack n slash thrown in.
Casey's Contraption.
Been following the development of this iPad game. You build Rube Goldberg machines… I dunno what. Get a star or something. Seems very cool, and the social aspect of watching how your friends solved the board is a plus.
Small World for the iPad.
Small World is a fantastic board game that just got a faithful digitizing for the iPad.
The Humble Indie Bundle #3
Pay what you want (or donate to charity) to get some great indie PC games compatible with windows, mac, and linux.
Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP
I love my iPad but the one thing that the whole iOS platform is really lacking are good, immersive, involving video games. Angry Birds is fun and being able to play Carcassone anywhere is awesome, but none of these deliver the sort of experience even the original Nintendo’s franchise games offer.
But Superbrothers looks different. And it comes out tomorrow.
Based on the reports from people who have played previews, this game is to the iPad what the original Zelda was to Nintendo. So here’s hoping it’s half as great as everyone says it is. I’ll post my thoughts on it tomorrow after playing a bit.
Dom Kennedy - Locals Only.
Remarkable partially for featuring a sample from the classic RPG Chrono Trigger, but also for being really fucking good.
Web Page Surprise
Go to any Web site. Then put the code I included into the address bar. It is SFW and fun, nothing scary.
The best video game review of all time.
I don’t even know what game it’s for and I don’t care. Much like you didn’t have to know Chris to understand he makes you touch your hands for stupid reasons.
World of Goo released for the iPad
If you haven’t yet played this game in it’s PC/Mac/Wii/xBox/PS3 incarnation, DO IT. It’s easily the best indie game since Katamari.
The game designer behind Super Meat Boy trolls PETA
Oh man. The “why do girls…” joke killed me. KILLED ME!
Minecraft
The the innernets have been blowing up about this indie game Mincraft for quite a while now. Even Penny Arcade is getting in on the action this week (yeah, I don’t get it either). I still haven’t had a chance to actually play it, but videos keep getting posted to reddit. Videos like where this guy accidentally sets fire to his house or where this guy finds a dungeon and starts a zombie dance party. I still don’t fully understand the object, if there even is one, but having a persistent open world in which to make and build things seems kinda fun.
Anyway, the game’s free for the weekend because his server went down. You can get it at minecraft.net and I think you just log in with a blank user and pass. Since the game is still in Alpha, I think you can actually buy it for $5 or $10 or something like that, depending on the exchange rate. If enough of you actually have interest in this, I think I’ll volunteer my bandwidth to run a little private server where we can all play.
