In a brief interview with The Rumble Pack, Torchlight CEO Max Schaefer has confirmed a very juicy detail concerning their recently released action RPG, Torchlight (which we were quoted on the retail box, btw). Now I don’t want to go raising any hopes or anything, but in the interview Max has basically confirmed that Torchlight [...]
In celebration of the announcement that Electronic Arts will be publishing Klei Entertainment’s highly anticipated violent 2D brawler, Shank, the developer has revealed a brand new and gruesome trailer for the upcoming title.

If you’re a stranger to the indie gaming community, then Tale of Tales–comprised of leads Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn–is a developer worth knowing.
