I’ve been very busy with my studies lately and decided to write a little program (screenshot) to test my new found knowledge. The result is a very simple but powerful little program that you can use to annoy your friends by sending them huge amounts of text messages in a very short time.
The last couple of days I’ve been spending most of my time in a violent world called Pandora. A copy of Borderlands 2, the follow-up to my personal game of the year of 2009, was delivered to me and I’ve been playing the game ever since.
We all have a little list of classic games that we spent a lot of time with and enjoyed a lot. How great would it be to be able to play those games with current generation graphics, improved gameplay, new and innovative mechanics and a lot more to make fans happy. I’m not talking about simply porting the game to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 with a higher resolution, I’m talking about full-fledged remakes of games released over a decade ago. Not only will we be able to play our favorite games once again in a glorious new way, the franchise will also earn new fans if the remake is done right.
Some games are just asking for a remake, either because they have lots of fans requesting it or because the game had a certain level of quality that success is almost guaranteed if it would be released again with today’s standards in place. But for some reason, developers/publishers are hard-headed about re-releasing certain games from the past. Possible reasons are that too little people are requesting it, the publisher doesn’t see commercial benefit in the project, or that developers simply want to focus on other projects. Whatever the reasons are, I set up a list of five games I would love to see returning to current or next-generation platforms, starting with number 5!
Independent movie directors Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky have brought us a much anticipated documentary movie that centers on the creative process and people behind the indie games Braid, Fez and Super Meat Boy. This is Indie Game: The Movie, and it’s available now for the whole world to see. It follows the individual creators of these games, showing the hard work and personal sacrifices they make while doing what they do best, which is creating a true form of digital interactive art.
If you are a fan of indie games you probably knew that the Humble Bundle just closed with more than $5,000,000 in revenue and almost 600,000 sold bundles. Frictional Games has released a teaser video for the indirect sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs, to thank fans for their support of the Humble Bundle.
