Insomniac Games, presently most famous for their Ratchet Clank games on PlayStation, have released with minimal fanfare a 2D underwater Metroidvania on Steam called Song Of The Deep . So, someone played Aquaria and Ori The Blind Forest. Here are my thoughts:

Derek Yu Derek Yu is the creator of Spelunky. He was also co-creator of 2007 Metroidvania adventure Aquaria, and the 2002 freeware action adventure Eternal Daughter. He's also the writer of the book Spelunky. Maybe one day there will be a film adaptation of Spelunky. We can only hope. The best thing about Derek Yu s new book about Spelunky is that it answers all the questions I ve ever wanted...

You have infinite money, right? I mean, you look like the sort, what with your snazzy diamond-encrusted cane and hat/jacket ensemble knitted entirely from Kickstarter bonus swag. That in mind, what s one more delightfully promising project to throw a worrisome amount of cash at? Because seriously, Night in the Woods has all the makings of quirky, wildly inventive greatness with a hin...

I'd heard lovely things about Aquaria, the beautiful underwater adventure for PC and Mac. It was an underwater 2D throwback of a game, an action-adventure with mysterious new-agey music and a good story. But I haven't play it on the computer. I've played it on my iPad, for which it went on sale last night. It's handled the transition well, with just some manageable control issues. Aquaria lets yo...

It's an indie game geeksplosion as the woman behind the Plants Vs. Zombies music teams up with the programmer for Xbox Live Arcade's Spelunky to rap about their shared love of Magic: The Gathering. This is the sort of video I would normally avoid, but the sheer indie gaming power contained within (coupled with Laura Shigihara's overwhelming cuteness) stayed my hand. Sure the music steps all over t...

It's always wonderful to see a worthy indie game slowly bud and blossom over time. In this case we're talking about the underwater fantasy world of Aquaria which is, after winning awards at the Indie Game Festival and hitting Steam, now making a debut on the iPad this fall. The iPad version of the game includes new gameplay and a bit more visual polish. This version is also the result of one amaz...

This week in indie gaming brought with it another round of insightful interviews, including chats with Nathan Fouts (Mommy's Best Games) and Alex Holowka (Infinite Ammo) about their upcoming games--Serious Sam Double D and Marian, respectively. To put it another way, fans of Explosionade and Aquaria can get an interesting peek into how the talented developers each work their magic. Interabang Ente...

Media reportage still has it that Radiohead s pay-what-you-want experiment a couple of years back was somehow a disaster. Independent gaming has roundly proved the lie: more devs than we can keep up with have offered PWYW deals recently, so clearly something s going right. It s good news for gamers too. The Humble Indie Bundle, though, is yer bona fide motherlode. World of Goo, A...
