I’m not sure yet what Inner Chains is all about, but I’m intrigued nonetheless

A biomechanical world For the most part, Brett and I were allowed to be dumb Americans when we were in Poland, able to get by with only a few Polish words (‘Dziękuję’ means thank you, and I had to say it each of the thousand times I was handed vodka). From my experience, if you can find someone younger than thirty, they probably spoke English. When I went to see Telepaths Trees’Inner Chains, this assumption finally bit me in the ass....

Kickstarter for sci-fi platformer Orphan underway

Updated trailer reveals more a bit more of the action And before I knew it, Windy Hill Studio’s attractive-looking action platformerOrphanhad jumped from Greenlight approval on Steam to being over halfway through itsKickstarter campaign. So it is sometimes in the games writing business — take your eyes away for a moment and something just might pass you by.

Laser Fury looks like Diablo but neon and radical

Dibs on laser bow with black hole arrows I do not mean to suggest thatDiablois not good, but the dreary look never really grabbed me, even withDiablo III‘s improvementsin that respect.Laser Fury, on the other hand, takes a hold of my eyes immediately. The teal/orange/purple color palette might be played out soon, but right now it seems like a great way to get some attention for a game. Fortunately, the game here looks cool in its own right....

What’s the point of a show about Superman if there is no Superman? Please tell me that’s some other character with all of Superman’s powers....

Ultimateplayers with “spirits.” Think of them like augmentations: there’s primary and support spirits, which can be used to power-up characters. You’ll win them by way of “spirit battles,” which are basically fights featuring the aura of characters that didn’t make the cut likeMega Man 9‘s Astro Man and Chibi Robo....
