Double Cryamore news, everybody! First off is the GDC demo's release to the public. I haven't had a chance to test it out myself (it looks like it will take around 7 hours to download), but it's free, so I can't be too ...

This week on Sup Holmes we chat with Steve Swink, the creator of the "everyone-who's-played-it-loves-it-but-most-people-haven't-heard-of-it-yet game" Scale. Steve's been thinking hard about game design for a while. He w...

When Bioware announced that they were going to make Star Wars: The Old Republic more inclusive by having one planet where same sex characters flirt with each other, reactions were split. Some on either side of the homophobia ...

Analogue: A Hate Story snuck up on the world behind and ended up becoming an international sensation. Developer Christine Love had been crafting these kinds of interactive narrative games for a while, but Analo...

We've been posting about Shovel Knight a lot. It's not our fault. It's Yacht Club Games's fault. They just keep announcing new things that make us feel great, so we have to write about them. Those are the rules. The lat...

Last week's Sup Holmes (now on iTunes) had me biting my tongue at a constant pace. Paul "Farmer Gnome" Greasely is one of those developers who takes their own amazing ideas for granted in a way that leaves you wanting to sha...

Little Inferno didn't have a lot to help it become a financial success. A fireplace simulator made to parody and critique current trends in videogames isn't exactly what the big publishers would call "a surefire hit with...

Nintendo is continuing their push to put their download services up front with three first party titles hitting Japan soon. Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger and Freakyforms Deluxe will both be released on ...

The announcement of DuckTales Remastered caused a lot of people to freak the hell out, but that wasn't the only trick WayForward had up their sleeves. They've got a new IP coming "exclusively" to Nintendo 3DS, DS, Wii, W...

This week on Sup Holmes we welcome Paul "Farmer Gnome" Greasley to the program. Paul has made a wide variety of games in his time, from the pioneering "Feel Bad" title Edmund, to more recent, more accessible fun like&nb...

Silf and Olly was one of my favorite MTV shows of the 90's. I felt sad and somewhat guilty when the show it canceled in favor of more marketable but ultimately less interesting fare like Road Rules. The show was recently reb...

8Bits Fanatics are easily the best kept secret in gaming today. They make amazing games, usually for free, and yet people rarely talk about them. Tempura of the Dead got some buzz, and once 1,001 Spikes is finished...

G4 and Attack of the Show are no more. What's G4 superstar Kevin Pereria been up to in the meantime? Among other things, he's taken to Machinima with Player Vs Pain, a show about hurting people while they play videogames. Ke...

Capcom held a poll last month asking us who our favorite characters are from the series. Results are in, and boringly enough, Ryu came in 1st, followed by Ken, Akuma, Chun-Li, Cammy, and Sakura on the global results. Fr...

Retro City Rampage was in development for over six years, costing thousands of dollars and sleepless nights to develop. Brian Provinciano, the creator of the game, is finally getting a return on his investment. You may see so...

Remember that Hitman trailer with the nuns with guns and the subsequent stir that followed? Nun Attack takes that premise (arguably with a bit more class) and runs it into a full game, currently available on iPhone...

Legend has it that Legend of Dungeon was born from Reddit. Robot<3Kitty, the world's first married game development team was cruising around the popular aggregate website when they discovered the artwo...

The last time I posted about Game & Wario, there was much editorializing on how I found the game initially disappointing but was slowly becoming more hopeful that it would find excellence. These new videos from...

Adam "Keits" Heart and I crossed paths once before, a few years back at the Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom launch event in New York City. Back thin he was just a championship level fighting game expert, representing the game with Seth...

At last year's PAX East, Super Time Force impressed many with its humor, art direction, and nifty time travel gameplay hook. Should you die, you can travel back in time to the point right before you died to team up with your...

There isn't much to say about this that isn't better expressed through song, but there is one interesting piece of trivia to share. Sexy Luke is played by Capcom Fan Art legend and former Boondocks artist [name withheld per request]. That's pretty awesome. Other than that, I don't have much to say. Just watch the video.

I'm not sure that there is anything we didn't talk about with Monaco creator Andy Schatz on last week's Sup Holmes (on on iTunes). Andy is currently over at GDC hosting some IGF awards show right now, but if you'd rather wat...

Shovel Knight is quickly gaining a loyal following. The game's booth was constantly crowded at PAX East. Now that the team at Yacht Club Games has returned from the show, they've renewed their attention to the Shovel Knight K...

Mercenary Kings has a lot of surface level appeal. The dot-art mastery of modern animation legend Paul Robertson is enough for many to make the game an instant purchase. Thankfully, the team at Tribute Games (Wizorb) weren't...

For a game that hasn't been released yet, Monaco sure has won a lot of awards. It was bestowed with the Seumus McNally Grand Prize and the Excellence in Design award back at GDC 2010. The co-op heist caper game has come...

Austin Ivansmith from WayForward was gracious enough to announce Mighty Switch Force 2 a few weeks back, and now we have the official screen and press release to get us properly informed. Series star Patricia Wagon has g...

So much magic was packed into in last Sunday's Sup, Holmes? (now on iTunes) that no recap could ever do it justice, but here goes. We got a lot of new info on MewGenics. Edmund talks a lot about the psychology of the g...

First we have a hack of The Legend of Zelda that lets you play as Zelda. Now we have a hack of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask that features everyone as Nicolas Cage? It's feeling more and more like every game in 2013 cou...

Zoe Quinn has a habit of getting people talking. Her Fake Nerd Girl Detector certainly inspired some discussion, and Depression Quest (the latest game from her and Patrick Lindsey) has been drumming a lot of attention. The tw...

The original idea for Sup Holmes was for the show to be 3-4 minutes long and be animated in the style Constructoid. Shannon Gregory from Nintendo was going to be my sidekick, and Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes fr...

[Update: The developers of the game just updated the latest build in honor of this post, so check it out] The Binding of Isaac starts out with the drawings of a sad, talented young person. Later, those drawings appear t...

In what seems to be a budding trend, an industrious hacker has whipped up some animations and palette swaps for the Zelda sprite in The Legend of Zelda and made her the playable character. This isn't the first time a remake ...

Lauren Faust is a powerful person. She helped take a relatively unremarkable children's show aimed at pre-teen girls and transform it into a multi-media, multi-generation, multi-billion-dollar sensation. She also apparently h...

The Last Guy was largely overlooked on PlayStation Network, which is a shame. The game's simple but challenging arcade-style structure was a breath of fresh air on the PlayStation 3 when it was released back in 2008. Fo...

Shovel Knight is a new action platformer from Yacht Club Games. Headed up by former WayForward director Sean Velasco (Contra 4, A Boy and his Blob, Double Dragon Neon), the game uses an "8-bit +" art style that sticks to the...

Making Teenage Pokemon Season 1 took many hours of work. For me, those hours were mostly spent on putting together the story, the voices (except for cameo characters like Misty and Ditto), digging up music, trying to get the ...
