While lurking around the net today I’ve come across this intresting little gem of a game, it was made by Roger Hicks (of rComplex fame) and Paul Veer (the animator of Super Crate Box). Its an action puzzler and it only costs $5! If you like what you see in this short trailer you can pick it up from here:https://sites.fastspring.com/Rekcahdam/instant/celestialmechanica

A small indie game called Project Zomboid has been taken offline for the time being due to atrocious levels of piracy. The game’s team (consisting of only 4 guys!) has taken it down to avoid losing any more cash to pirates. Its really fucked up to see something like this happen to such cool guys, who in the past, have been relatively cool about the whole piracy thing. Not to mention, the game only costs $5, FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS! And it even has online multiplayer and all that fancy shit.

So, pirates, seriously, stop screwing over the little-man!

Well, in Lucius, you play as the 6 year-old son of Satan, who is given assignments to kill. Sneaking around your mansion, you set up traps and solve puzzles to spread your devilish reign of terror.

I’m pretty excited for this game. It reminds me of my favorite board game, 13 Dead End Drive, in which the house keepers of a wealthy old fart must kill each other off using traps set around the mansion. The last one standing receives the fortune. So this game may be a mix of that, plus the Omen. And it looks like it’ll be prettyy gory. A definite plus. Enjoy the trailer :]

A little footage of the game in the below article, Spy Party.

Have you ever been to a dinner party and just wished you could suddenly be a spy? Well, if your answer was “Yes!”, you should probably go see a shrink, but before you do that checkout Spy Party. Spy Party is an upcoming game from a small dev team, and while I haven’t gotten to play it, I can tell you its something that you need to keep your eye on. The gameplay is a 1v1 affair, one player is a spy infiltrating a party full of royalty and such, while the other player is a sniper sent to kill the spy. As the spy, your mission is to complete a set of objectives while blending in and acting like an A.I. character, so as not to tip of the sniper. The sniper on the other hand has to watch all of the characters in the room in hopes of spotting the spy doing something “out of the norm” (like moving too quickly or organically). The game seems to be shaping up rather nicely. As of now, you can head over to the official spy party site http://www.spyparty.com/ and sign up to be in the beta for the small price of $15 (which gives you the full game upon its release). So if you’re into spys or sniping, check it out!
