Bit.Trip FLUX is out in Europe, and I'm officially jealous. I've already played through the game to completion once (see this practically-a-review for details), so I feel a little bratty by complaining about having to wait a...

When I try to get in touch with Jason Cirillo, founder of Robotube Games, he's in line trying to buy a bento box, somewhere in New York City. He's starving and needs to eat, so I try again later. This time, he's stepping onto...

Bit.Trip FLUX, the grand finale of the Bit.Trip series, is almost here. As a huge fan of these games, I'm sad to see them come to an end. That said, I can't wait for FLUX to come out. Though the game marks the end of one of ...

Gaijin Games founder Alex Neuse has leveled a little criticism at his peers in the indie game market, stating that with a recent flood of titles has come a number of disappointingly unfinished games. "I think that the indie s...

Gaijin Games sure does know a thing or two about creating titles in which you have to "enter the zone," so to speak, in order to be truly successful. The pattern continues with Bit.Trip FLUX, which got a happenin' new traile...

If you beat the Bit.Trip stocking level in the bland-but-serviceable free 2D platformer Mission in Snowdriftland, you unlock this teaser image for Bit.Trip FLUX. I've played the game, which gives me the proper context to unde...

We did a live stream of Bit.Trip FATE and Bit.Trip RUNNER last night. As is customary, we ended up getting too into it and the planned 3 hour show turned into a +8 hour marathon. Good times indeed. Over the course of that mar...

Ganja Games I mean Gaijin Games and their epic game series Bit Torrent Bit Trip is both easy on the ears and eyes! That's why I decided to forcefully stumble my way in their studio to find out more about Bit Trip, Lilt Line ...

I wasn't expecting Bit.Trip FATE to come out so soon after the announcement, but I guess that's the fast-paced world of digital distribution for you. And heck, I'm certainly not complaining. Speaking with Nintendo Life, Alex ...

OK, it's a little late, but here's a sneak preview of last week's Bit Transmission with Alex Neuse from Gaijin Games. Alex was willing to divulge a lot of crazy stuff on the show, but my favorite bit was when he confirmed tha...

I must say, covering WarioWare D.I.Y. has been nothing but delightful -- and I haven't even gotten around to picking up a copy of the game yet. "Fire Bad!" by Alex Neuse of Gaijin Games is the latest of the developer-created...

Bit.Trip was easily my favorite new IP of 2009. BEAT, CORE, and VOID are all amazing in their own ways, but as great as they are, they couldn't have prepared me for this. Bit.Trip RUNNER, the fourth game in the series, looks ...

Art contests can really suck sometimes. They take energy and skill, and who has much of either these days? Easier to enter a contest that only requires you to post a picture of an ugly person, or maybe just a bad joke. That's...
