I'm going to be perfectly honest with you guys; I'm not super into puzzle-platformers anymore. There is something about them that just doesn't click with me like they did before. Except for 6180 The Moon. That game is rad.&n...

Since the original Portal launched in 2007 there have been a slew of puzzle/shooter hybrids trying to steal the spotlight. C3 is the first one to come along that has given me pause to look at it. I spoke with Alex Rowland, o...

I'm going to be honest with you guys, I've never really considered buying an OUYA. Something just doesn't sit right with me. That was until Matt Thorson sat me down and forced me to play Towerfall. Now I want an OUYA. Towerf...

I'm pretty sure that everyone who plays games has an idea of their perfect zombie game. Mine has always been about fortifying an area and living in terror of the undead. Fortunately Geoff Keene and his team from Sandswept St...

I really like rogue-likes. There's something about their uncaring difficulty that appeals to the "HxC" gamer in me. With this in mind I got super-excited to check out Tower of Guns. The game's creator Joe Mirabello described...

One of my favorite parts of E3 is the Indiecade portion of the show. There are so many varieties of games present that you're guaranteed to like something. I've always been interested in games that can make you feel differen...

While some people come to E3 for things with guns or boobs, I come for the indies. Little did I know a kind man named Lau Karsgaard would take me on an adventure to awkward-town atop his prized stallion, "Uncomfortable."&nbs...

You know what's awesome? Wild-west style duels. You know what else is awesome? Touching butts. Fortunately for you, dear reader, Papa Spencer is here to deliver. I ran into Stephen Morris at Indiecade at E3 this year and I'm...

I have a confession to make: I'm terrible. Here in the Dtoid offices I have two jobs. One of those is driving wheelbarrows full of money down the aisles. The other is TF2sday posts. Sadly(!) we have waaaaaaay too many wheelba...

In case you aren't aware, PixelJunk Inc. looks to be the raddest game ever. Imagine Castlevania, Metal Slug, Pikmin, and a tower defense all rolled into one. Also, soup everywhere. Naturally, when I got the opportunity to ta...

Giddy up y'all! There's a Destructoid Hoe-down a-comin' up and you better grab whatever you southern people use to party. I'm going to admit, all I know about the south comes from The Dukes of Hazzard re-runs. That's right, o...

Every year at GDC, part of the show floor is taken over by indie developers. This glorious plot of convention floorspace is called the IGF and it's where I met Yann Seznec. Yann is part of the team behind the IGF award nomin...

As a part of Destructoid I'm lucky enough to go to events every few months. Unfortunately PAX East is not one of these events. This sad fact means that I'm counting on you guys to keep the awesome alive at the show this weeke...
