Activision Threatens EA, Double Fine With Brütal Legend Lawsuit
Activision may not be giving up Brütal Legend to EA without a fight—or at least a payout. Activision, which abandoned the game last year following its merger with Vivendi, thinks it still has publishing rights. More »

DoubleFine Releases Tasha's Game, Not Brütal Legend
Psychonauts developers Double Fine Productions did not release Brütal Legend last month (yes, we really need to check their news feed more often). Instead it released Tasha's Game, a Flash-based 2D platformer that's all rainbows, pink ponies, flying cats and shit. Despite not being Brütal Legend [Ed's note — :( ] Tasha's Game is still charming and fun, full of "pointless unlockables" and swell mechanics. More »

EA Well Aware Of Brütal Legend, Sees It As "Significant Risk"
We still don't know the fate of Double Fine Productions' Brütal Legend. After being abandoned by publisher Sierra when Activision Blizzard joined forces, it has languished, in limbo, while a new deal can be finalized. Rumors that MTV Games would published were squashed, but a persistent rumor that EA would pick up the game hasn't magically transformed into fact. More »

Brutal Legend On Hunt for Publisher
Rumor has it that the much anticipated, Jack Black-backed, ride-out-of hell, rock-and-roll action extravaganza... Wait where was I? Oh right, sources tell me that the rights to the Brutal Legend IP may have reverted back to Tim Schafer and his Double Fine Productions. More »

We Won't Be Seeing Brütal Legend At E3 :(
Sunday night's pre-E3 Kotaku party is going to be a booze-fueled, feel-good adventure. None of that, however, will dull the pain of Brütal Legend's absence at E3, an absence confirmed by MTV Multiplayer today. Double Fine Productions frontman Tim Schafer confirmed the bad news earlier today and I'm just barely keeping it together. More »

Tim Schafer Mystified By Uncharted's Shirt Tech
Double Fine Productions founder and funny man Tim Schafer isn't so much a fan of Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune as he is the next-gen thermal shirt that protagonist Nathan Drake wears throughout. The Psychonauts creator compares the PlayStation 3 title's heretofore ignored technological marvel that is a casually dirty, half-tucked shirt to "an unfinished symphony." He heaps praise upon the adventure game's clothing choices and lauds a poly-cotton top that speaks volumes about its wearer. More »

Smell The Glove Of Brütal Legend's Web Site
The official site for Double Fine Productions Brütal Legend has launched, bringing with it the power of Satan and a trio of new screenshots. This is how you make a web site people—flames, hot guitar licks, bones and chrome. It's rare that we find web sites about video games this appealing—there was that Contra 4 site—but given the number of tips we've received on its launch, it's clear we're not the only ones taken by this Flash-heavy, power metal marketing tool. Want to check it out? Hit up the official site and crank those laptop speakers. More »

Brütal Legend Trailer
Brütal Legend still hasn't been officially announced outside of a Game Informer magazine spread, but this trailer for Double Fine Productions' follow-up to Psychonauts or Epic Saga - Extreme Fighter is so dripping with awesome sauce that other video game developers must feel like throwing in the towel when faced with competition like this. Metal up your ass!! More »

Psychonauts Creator Reveals, Releases New Game "Epic Saga"
Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions has announced its latest game, one that is definitely not Brutal Legend starring Jack Black as a dead roadie clawing his way from Rock and Roll Hell to Rock and Roll Heaven. No, instead, Double Fine brings us an original IP shocker in Epic Saga - Extreme Fighter an amazingly deep online fighting game that tells the story of "a barbaric hero in an epic fantasy world, fighting his way from Rock and Roll Hell to Rock and Roll Heaven."
