Cheap shots cribbed from Yahtzee aside, colour me intrigued. Not a lot to see based on the trailer, but it looks to have potential. If nothing else I dig the art.

D3 Publisher brings charming indie platformer Pid to XBLA
Just the mention D3 Publisher instantly conjures memories of cloying, budget-priced games with B-movie sensibilities all too proud to bear the mantra of "so bad it's good." So after Onechanbara, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard and Earth Defense Force, what's next for the publisher of cheesy goodness? A charming platformer from a Swedish indie studio comprised of industry vets, if you believe it or not. Formed back in 2010 by a tight knit group whose résumés include Mirror's Edge and Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Might and Delight have partnered with D3 to bring Pid to XBLA. The gravity defying puzzle-platformer follows a boy stranded on a "dreamlike and dangerous world," looking to escape from an army of robots and a malevolent ruler determined to keep him from finding his way home. Pid is also planned for release on PlayStation Network and Steam, where it will presumably be self-published. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)That link reminded me that we've yet to hear anything about Onechanbara Z: Kagura hitting the states. I really hope it does because that one looked loads better than the previous games, and actually looked good. An indie platformer starring a small boy with an overly large head? Well I never.

5:00 PM on 12.13.2012 Review: Black Knight SwordWithin my first thirty minutes of playing Black Knight Sword, I encountered a menu option called "cat head grass," a giant mother eye that eats hearts, and severed skulls in a microwave oven that serve as health power-ups. Yep, this is definitely a Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality joint.
