The Neverhood is coming to smart phones!

That's stupid. Why don't they re-release it for computers first? I've been wanting to play it for ages.

Apparently, Kotaku spoiled some information about Arkham City, revealing the fate of a villian. I don't know anything about it because I'm not going to read the spoiler god damn it.

DarkHoodness 09-30-2011 09:23 PM

Man, I remember the Neverhood - And I'm glad other people do too. An indie game far, far ahead of its time. A mobile phone re-release is better than none at all, and it's a sign that the people who own the rights to it these days haven't forgotten about it either.

A PC re-release would be good though considering the only way you can buy it these days is either e-bay or an obscure second hand media shop - If you're incredibly lucky. It seems to be ultra-rare and hellish expensive.

EDIT: Did you know that Klaymen wasn't actually made from clay, and instead was made from foam latex painted to look like clay? It's true!

Hazel-Rah 10-01-2011 09:47 AM

Just put it on Steam for cryin' out loud...geez you'd think they'd jump at the opportunity to make money off of a game they already made.

Dynamithix 10-03-2011 05:48 PM

This just in; Skyrim's achievements revealed!

Seems pretty fair. I remember Oblivion's cheevos were pretty hard to get.

Rage is out tomorrow. Looks really badass.

I hope that was sarcasm.

Dynamithix 10-05-2011 01:40 AM

Well, at least for me they would have been since I never even got around beating the main quest.

Crashpunk 10-06-2011 02:29 AM



I seriously cannot wait anymore. I want this game!

Ridg3 10-06-2011 09:25 AM

Absolutely scunnered about the fact that Dark Souls will not be released on the PC.

Fuck you, Japan.

Fuck. You.

Dynamithix 10-06-2011 11:33 AM

Neither did Demon Souls.

Also, look at this:

What in the what what now

The Transformers MMO's been in the news for aaages.

YouTube it.

Wings of Fire 10-07-2011 11:56 AM

I refuse to touch a Transformers game where you can't play directly as Beast Wars Megatron.

He's just about the only good thing to come out of the franchise ever.

Dynamithix 10-08-2011 04:06 PM

This looks pretty neat; a 50 page artbook, a 3D cardboard display and the soundtrack CD.

I'll ask for this and Saints Row: The Third for Christmas.

Crashpunk 10-09-2011 02:02 AM

OMG FUCKING GOD YES! I really want that!

Dynamithix 10-09-2011 02:25 AM

From what I understand, it's only coming for X360 and PS3.

JennyGenesis 10-09-2011 02:29 AM

Despite only ever playing the original Rayman and the first raving rabbids game, I still adored the first game and might pick the new one up, this is what I'm excited for though!

MeechMunchie 10-09-2011 02:50 AM

Rayman 3 was good, though finding it is a bit difficult nowadays.

Dynamithix 10-09-2011 03:02 AM

Really? I see it every now and then in a local Gamestop and there are plenty of places where you can buy it new.

MeechMunchie 10-09-2011 03:05 AM

Okay, then no-one has an excuse. Go play it now.

Phylum 10-09-2011 03:57 AM

Right now.

I recently bought Rayman and installed it in Dosbox. It works like a charm. I'm very excited about Origins.

Crashpunk 10-09-2011 01:07 PM

Fuck..

I just went on amazon and the Special Edition of Rayman Origins is only on PS3 and Xbox, Not Wii. *rage*

Dynamithix 10-09-2011 01:16 PM

Yeah, that's sadly the case with most multi-platform collector's editions nowadays.

EDIT: Hey, do you guys remember that time when everyone wanted Mass Effect to have multiplayer? Yeah, me neither.

Dynamithix 10-10-2011 12:58 PM

Sorry for doublepost, but I believe this is worth it; Amanita Design's new game, Botanicula. It looks quite interesting.


Hazel-Rah 10-11-2011 07:23 AM

Rayman Origins looks nice and all but should a 2D game really be commanding full retail price? I mean that kind of stuff belongs on XBLA or PSN. I really wish this console gen had more 3D platformers. It's nice that developers are looking to the past for inspiration and there's a lot of creativity in these 2D games but I wish platformers would go back to being brick and mortar big budget releases with 3D graphics that showcase the hardware like they were on the 128 bit game systems. It's BS that gamess like Killzone and COD get $40 million dollar budgets but we're still waiting this whole generation on a new Sly Cooper or Oddworld.

I just found out about this, I have no thoughts of it and in no way, has it thrown me off looking forward to it.

I just hope the effort they've put into single player will make me think this was the best trilogy I've ever played in my life; both games were amazing.

I'd hate to be disappointed if they got lazy on single player to work on a multiplayer component people might use.

Still, it might please some people. Most are raging about it on YouTube, though.

Im a bit skeptical about Rayman as well, but overall Im looking forward to it, despite its price point. I also share your feelings on 3D platformers this gen, there are next to none, which makes me sad. Especially as a 360 only owner, since most of the PS3 and Wii platformers are first party, I just get shitty movie games for the most part. I do see why Killzone and CoD get those budgets while platformers do not though.

Hazel-Rah 10-11-2011 03:28 PM

PS3 doesn't have it much better as far as 3D platformers go, its got Ratchet and Clank and that's about it. It's supposed to be getting a new Sly Cooper but it's not being made by Sucker Punch so it'll probably be like Legend of Spyro all over again and it doesn't look like Naughty Dog plans on making anything other than Uncharted on PS3 which stinks. The reason shooters get such big budgets is because they're the AAA franchises of this gen, I guess online multiplayer is responsible for making them so popular. And yeah it pisses me off that platformers always fail on Xbox no matter how good they are, it was like that on the original Xbox too.

Crashpunk 10-12-2011 06:35 AM

Rayman Origins on Wii is £25.99 which isn't too bad. Most retail games are more.

Dynamithix 10-13-2011 05:43 AM

A Men In Black game is coming next year. Could be interesting.
