    de Blob Performs Rare "Sells Well On Nintendo Hardware" Trick

    We know that THQ's de Blob has been selling well, sometimes even better than Nintendo's first party Wii titles. But how well can a non-phoned-in, non-mini-game collection title sell on the Wii? Pretty well. More »

    de Blob Review: Painting A Very Pretty Picture

    de Blob began life as a school project from studying Game Design & Development at the Utrecht School of the Arts in The Netherlands, meant to reflect the end result of the rebuilding of a local railway station, but THQ saw much more potential for the quirky PC painting game. They purchased the rights, handed over development to Blue Tongue Entertainment, and now we have De Blob for the Nintendo Wii. The I.N.K.T. Corporation has drained all the color out of the city of Chroma, enslaving its inhabitants and putting them to work doing its evil, clerical bidding. It's up to de Blob to be the paintbrush of the people, restoring color to the city one building at a time. While a very unique and compelling concept at its core, have THQ and Blue Tongue managed to stay true to de Blob's origins, or has the entertainment value of the original game been completely painted over? Mixing a little red with a little blue, after the jump. More »

    de Blob Devs Bringing Swords & Soldiers To WiiWare

    The original de Blob developers are back with their own game studio and a shiny new title coming out on WiiWare in Q4 2008. Ronimo Games, founded by said de Blob creators in Utrecht, the Netherlands, is readying Swords & Soldiers for European and North American release. Swords & Soldiers is a side-scrolling RTS in which three different factions battle against each other in order to obtain the powers of the gods. While I'm not yet sure what type of gameplay to expect from the title's single player campaign or split-screen multiplayer, I'm definitely liking the animated style they've got going for them. Check out the first screens from Swords & Soldiers for yourself below. More »

    Rainbow Connection: Hands On With De Blob

    My Kotaku Tower compatriots have taken THQ's upcoming Wii exclusive De Blob for a paint-spattered spin in the past, but after giving it a try today during the publisher's Fall 08 and holiday preview event, I thought I'd add my own impressions of the single-player mode to the mix. More »
