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 [...]
Welcome back to Best of DIYGamer as we highlight the top content on our site for the week wrapping on September 5. Along with the rest of the usual goodness, our big pile of PAX previews are included below in case you missed any of the coverage and want to catch up. Check out our [...]
Exit Strategy Entertainment has passed along a fact sheet for their upcoming platformer Pirates of New Horizons, giving us some updated release target info along with some other new details.
A prototype of the game is currently being finalized and prepped for release, it will serve as a way for the developers to gauge the viability [...]
![The Shmup as a Backwards Rhythm Game… Retro/Grade [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/RetroGrade001.jpg)
So when I originally covered Retro/Grade in our run up to PAX10, I had noted that the game was quite a unique shmup in that you actually play the game backwards. Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t quite grasp just what that mean and how it would affect the game. Today, however, I’ve played the [...]
![Speaking of Slam Bolt Scrappers’ New Volcano Level… [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Volcano-City.png)
While Peter covered most of the basics in his preview of the brand new Slam Bolt Scrappers Volcano level, unfortunately, he didn’t have a video at the time to actually show it off, mostly because it was on my video camera and I was off to check out more games for our awesome PAX coverage. [...]
![Creating a World in Bastion [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Bastion001.jpg)
I covered Bastion a small bit a few days ago in our run up to PAX. Back then I knew little about just what the game was and what it was going to offer beyond some small details given by developers Supergiant Games. Luckily for you (and me) I’ve just returned from my first play [...]
![Bosses versus Blocks: Slam Bolt Scrappers [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Slam_Bolt_PSN_Exclusive.jpg)
I’ve been following Slam Bolt Scrappers closely this year, having first played it in a hallway at GDC, then in the glowing light of Sony’s booth at E3 and just now in Fire Hose Games’ own booth on the PAX show floor. Each time I’ve played the game a single thing has remained consistent: pure [...]
![A Post About a Blob [PAX]](http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Blob-2-300x168.jpg)
I really wish that E3 was about two weeks long, because then I might have had a chance to have seen everything. Case and point is a new platformer from Drinkbox Studios called Tales from Space: About a Blob that was tucked into the Sony booth back at June’s uber-conference. Luckily, they’re making a bigger [...]
Wow, this is easily the most interesting game concepts I’ve ever heard of and, by far, the most interesting shmup I’ve ever seen. Retro/Grade is doing things that I’ve never before seen done in a game. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Retro/Grade is going to do for shmups, what Braid [...]
![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 [...]
