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, [...]
This is a full walkthrough explaining how to complete the main quest in shop-keeper RPG Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale. A day-by-day guide is supplied below, detailing how to clear all your debts.
Before you scroll down to read, please note: There is no set method for completing Recettear – it’s possible to finish the game [...]
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. A title which demands a commitment to the idea of immersion from both the player [...]
Twisted Pixel is something of an indie success story – and that might be putting it mildly. 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 [...]
Next time you’re off galavanting around a massive RPG world, slaying monsters and fulfilling your destiny, spare a thought for the shopkeeper in the last town who sold you all your gear. Without them, you’d be a nobody – you’d have no sword, no armor, no healing products. Confined to a live of standing behind [...]

![Here’s a Couple of Candid Retro City Rampage Videos [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/RetroCityRampage0011.png)
Seeing as how we know you guys love video content so much, we were able to take a couple videos on the show floor at PAX showing off a couple of Retro City Rampage’s more unique areas.
The first area is a simple casino/gambling area. This is just a video showing off the slot machine. In [...]
![96 Pixels of Violence: Retro City Rampage [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/RetroCityRampage001-300x233.png)
Retro City Rampage has been a work of over seven years, though its retro inspirations reach far deeper into the past than that. Brian Provinciano first conceived the idea as way of bringing Grand Theft Auto to the Nintendo Entertainment System with a version he called Grand Theftendo. But as time passed and the idea [...]
![Afros Have Never Looked Betta… Frobot [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/img_20100903_1047091-1024x767.jpg)
When we initially covered Frobot way back in November of last year, Frobot was a rather simple puzzle-esque Smash TV type game. It was quite simple to explain because it was a relatively simple game. After months of redesigning and a completely remade game, however, Frobot has undergone some serious gameplay changes that not only [...]

![Retro City Rampage is What GTA Would Have Been Like in the 80s [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/RetroCityRampage001.png)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take some of your favorite modern games and mash them into the retro stylings of the 80’s console systems, a la NES? I know I have. Games like Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, and Red Dead Redemption are all games that I’ve wondered how they’d play [...]
Team Meat have revealed via Twitter that their highly-anticipated indie platformer Super Meat Boy will arrive October 20 on Xbox Live Arcade.
We knew already that Microsoft has a timed exclusivity deal with the game, which will be short I’ve been assured by the developer. The game should see release on WiiWare as well as PC [...]
As a gamer/writer I pride myself in owning nearly everything that can play a video game. Seriously, name it and I’ve probably got it (unless it’s one of those really niche devices). Still, the one thing that has alluded me is Nintendo’s DSi. I own a DS, but not a DSi as, at the time [...]
Frobot, the bad ass mutha robot with the penchant for solving puzzles and taking down bosses has finally gotten a confirmed release window, that being Q4 of this year. For those that don’t remember, DIYgamer has been following the progress of Frobot since it was first announced back in in November of last year. Back [...]
