That looks like a really fun, well-crafted level... I guess it’s a Mario Maker kind of night! Read more

The fact that this happened is great news. It shows a company willing to expand for fans in both the games development and the employ of those who love their product, finished or not. Read more

TLOF seems like it actually had a greater emphasis on collection given how essential careful looting of every single room was to your survival. Read more

Here’s what’s really going to kill you, a’la that episode of The Big Bang Theory where Amy “ruins” Raiders of the Lost Ark ... Read more

I just love the attention to detail put into this game. It reminds me of Metroid Prime which Retro took level design lessons from, well, Doom! Read more

I’ve never liked the fact the series Uncharted, a game about a dude who makes his living uncovering secrets, handles collectibles and unlockables in such a pedestrian manner. Read more

I also backed this. I ended up also getting the Darkroot expansion since it comes with a ton of new game variety, but passed on the mega-bosses. They look damn cool, but that’s pretty pricey for just a new boss and nothing else. Read more

I got in on it. I’m SUPER excited to see where the game gets to by the proposed date. I wasn’t QUITE hyped enough to buy all the add-ons, but the Darkroot one was tempting. Read more

Ugh. This is why I just play offline. I get that this invasion stuff is part of the series and people seem to like it. But to me, it’s just frustrating. I’d like to just play the game with everyone’s goofy ass messages on the ground but without some dick showing up and interrupting me. Then you have to worry about Read more
