Let’s [...]

Not quite as cheap, but still tidy compared with the $50.00 cover price for all [...]

Last week, Mega 64 released a hilarious new sketch, one that really speaks to us here at DIYgamer.com. It was simply titled Indie Films and it was about making full motion pictures films out of various indie games such as: Super Meat Boy, Today I Die, Rocketbirds, etc. While the sketch, itself, was really good, [...]

Machinarium seems to be in the headlines a lot lately, and it deserves all the attention it can get.
