PC Port Report: BattleBlock Theater

Encore! Encore! WhenBattleBlock Theateroriginally released last year for Xbox 360,we loved it. The cooperative platforming, secret-hunting, and unmistakable Behemoth style came together into one solid, surprisingly large package. Soon, it will release on Steam for PC and Linux, and it features all of the (cat) bells and (cat) whistles that the original had, with a few additional benefits. With potentially higher resolution and extra content, this is the version to get if given the choice....

Poncho is a cute robot in a lovely open-world platformer

Looking for some Kickstarter loving It always hurts my heart a little bit to see what looks like a great game failing to gain traction on Kickstarter. Certainly, the crowdfunding community is more cautious these days than it used to be, and with good reason in a lot of cases. As a result,Ponchois up there with a solid concept, great pixel art, and a modest goal, but its chances of success are not looking good unless it sees a surge of support soon....

Review in Progress: Everybody’s Golf

Hot shot I spent most of my weekend playingEverybody’s Golf. I regret nothing. Not a single moment. After a way-too-short online test session in which I swam laps as ablue-skinned space dadand dropped shruggies while lounging in a serene course, I’ve been dying to get back. Months later, I’m having just as good of a time, if not more so. This is probably the most fun I’ve had with any golf game....

Rocket Racing: An XBL Community Game you should care about

You know, a few short months after Xbox LIVE Community Games launched, my interest in the channel sort of dropped to practically zero. The only time I hear about the indie games on the service is when friends recommend something, which some of you can probably relate to. And that’s exactly why I wanted to emphasizeHalfbrick‘s upcoming Community Game,Rocket Racing. Simply put, it looks good. Damned good, even. As the name implies, it’s a racing game, obviously, but what sets it apart is undoubtedly the title’s simplistic nature....
