Knytt Underground announced for PC, PS3, Vita, and more
Knytt and Knytt Stories were both wonderful freeware platformers, especially when it came to the user-made levels for the latter. Developer Nifflas, Green Hill Studios, and Ripstone Publishing have announced a new game, Knytt Underground, so this is as good of time as any to suggest that you go play them both. As one might expect, this new title is headed to Windows, Linux, and Mac, though interestingly enough, it's also going to see a release on PlayStation 3 and Vita this year. "Knytt Underground is the biggest game I've ever developed and is the first game where I feel that I have a story to tell," stated Nifflas creative director Nicklas Nygren. "It's about the big questions; trying to understand life and our place in it -- and failing completely." I need this. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I love how the vita keeps getting all these indie titles! Of course you can get these games elsewhere but indie games seem like such a perfect fit for the vita and id rather play them on the go. :-) The original Knytt is one of my favorite games, so I'm completely excited for this. And a "hell yes" to Mac and Linux. :D 4:30 PM on 05.20.2013 Hop through time with the fifth Mega Man comic collectionLadies and gentlemen, a new Archie Mega Man graphic novel is arriving this Wednesday, May 22.

12:00 PM on 05.20.2013 Gran Turismo 6: A peek under the hoodJust a few weeks ago, we were picking over Gran Turismo 6 rumors, and now here we are with our very first preview. I was surprised to walk into a hands-on opportunity just one day after the title was officially announced. Surprised and pleased. It may not have been the PlayStation 4 launch game I was hoping for, but it's never really a bad time for more Gran Turismo.
