• Jumping to New Heights… Abduction! 2 [Review]

    Before I get into the nitty gritty of this review, allow me to just say a couple things:
    First, I’m a huge fan of the original Abduction! World Attack. During a time when Android gaming was largely unpolished and crude, Phil Symonds gave us a game that was not only fun, but also very well presented.
    Second, [...]

  • What Have I Done?… Amnesia: The Dark Descent [Review]

    There are games that are fun right away and lose their luster after a few hours. There are games that take time to get into to really enjoy, and then a game comes along like Frictional’s adventure horror Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

  • Onwards and Upwards with Comic Jumper [PAX]

While there are around twenty employees now, with more being considered as I type, the company was originally started with just a few. The team jumped up to six or seven folks for The Maw’s development and moved [...]

  • Yeyifications!… Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale [Review]

  • kukyI’ve been meaning to post this for quite a while, ever since I first heard about it from Amanita Design.

    Jakub Dvorsky, from Amanita Design, production designed the feature film of puppetry and it looks fantastic, with hints of Pan’s Labyrinth and even old Henson films like The Dark Crystal. It’s directed by Jan Svěrák and is supposedly due out in May 2010, though I don’t know when we’ll see a subtitled version hit this side of the water.

    Here’s a little blurb about it along with the trailer:

    Kooky´s Return (Kuky se vrací) is a combined puppet and live action feature based on a child’s fantasy. A seven year old boy whose teddy bear Kooky has been thrown away wonders what his toy is up to in the big world out there, imagining Kooky as he tries to find his way back home.

      That is AWESOME! I love it. I’ll need the subtitled version as well, but I will have to make sure and pick that one up as soon as I see it. I’d prefer more movies like this than CGI. I still watch The Dark Crystal every now and then.
