Along with Epic's announcement of Chair's upcoming iOS sequel Infinity Blade 2 came the reveal that novelist Brandon Sanderson has published a novel based on the world of Infinity Blade. Epic was kind enough to send along a lengthy excerpt from the book—I've taken the prologue and reprinted it here. Several additional chapters is available on Sanderson's site, along with information on how to order. More »

Man, I still don't quite know what it was about Shadow Complex. I loved that game so much. So when Cliff Bleszinski told me that its sequel has already been designed, it just about made my day. More »

The iPhone's Prettiest Game Was Meant For Kinect

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 04:30:00 EST

Infinity Blade is easily the best-looking game on the iPhone. Originally, though, it would have just been average-looking, as it wasn't destined for Apple's handheld at all. More »

In 2008, Shadow Complex developers Chair revealed they were working on an Ender's Game title. People got upset. It's OK, people. Relax. The game's been canned. More »

Helpful Undertow Hints From Chair

Mike Fahey — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 14:40:07 EST

Undertow has topped the Xbox Live Arcade charts since its release last week, and developer Chair Entertainment couldn't help but notice that many of you suck at it. Instead of using traditional Xbox Live methods of dealing with sub-par competition, the folks at Chair have decided to leave your mother out of this and simply release a list of ten helpful tips for dominating Undertow's excellent multiplayer mode. For example:

Use cover. There are areas the two smaller units (Marine and Dragoon) can hide from view. This is a great way to take enemies off guard. Hide in tall grass, behind pillars, buildings, or in clumps of rock and debris.

I would go as far as adding that smaller units are excellent, and they should not be discounted. Sure, the bigger ships are more impressive and tougher, but we little guys know your firing rate and can swim circles around you. More »

Chair Entertainment (heehee!) has revealed that their Battlefield meets Geometry Wars, Unreal Engine 3 powered shooter is hitting Xbox Live Arcade on November 21st, the day before Thanksgiving. If the game turns out as fun as I hope, I'll spend Turkey Day playing my PSP while the annual familial fight breaks out, wishing I were at home drowning myself in the 15 single player levels or two different 16 player multiplayer modes of Undertow. Lucky for me the other Thanksgiving contest my family participates in is the 'Who can leave the fastest after dinner' competition. The key lies in parking at the curb. More »
