If you have young children, or know someone that does, and are still on the fence about getting Once Upon a Monster, here are three new dev diaries that might help you change your mind. Plus it already has DLC, which means more puppet fun.
This seems like a pretty easy Christmas gift decision to me, so long as the intended recipient has a Kinect. Or you could buy it for someone without a Kinect, tell their kids how crazy-awesome the game is, and watch as the child endlessly nags their parent for more hardware.
All joking aside, Double Fine put a lot of effort into this game, and I think it's really nice. People who grew up playing videogames are now making family-centric games for their kids. This is a game even Oscar the Grouch likes.
Aaaaand this is why the 360 is utter crap now.
Sesame Street? Really? I could understand if this was on the Wii or DS or some other console nobody cares about anymore, But Xbox? Seriously?
Dude. I never realized how AMAZING this game was until that video. If I had a kid I would buy a 360 in the next 10 minutes. I don't think I'd feel OK playing this game alone. :P

Thank you, Double Fine, for giving me the opportunity to write about Sesame Street without feeling totally guilty afterward. This latest video with Tim Schafer and Cookie Monster is a delight, as always.

It comes as no surprise that Microsoft has an overly pretentious family enjoying the Kinect in this trailer. Looking past that, the video does a great job showing off how damn fun this game looks. It also gets me all nostalg...more
In this remarkably adorable video, Double Fine's Tim Schafer pitches a videogame to Cookie Monster.
A few things in particular made me feel all warm and fuzzy:
Cookie Monster's iPhone has a Cookie Monster sleeve
Cookie Monster calls Tim Schafer "kid"
Eating cookies. 'Nuff said
