David Jaffe is a man most known for making games about very angry bald Greek Anti-Heroes and dudes in cars crashing in to and shooting rockets at each other. Not exactly the most high brow stuff, but pretty entertaining games! He’s also a man known for being outspoken – and his latest outburst, sparked by a fan saying they preferred …

I’m always impressed by people who can make pretty pictures and even more so when they make them from scratch. However what really blows my mind is when these same artists can also make fantastic games like Braid… Jonathan Blow, the whizz kid behind Braid, is now working on a new title called The Witness and has released some concept …

This press release unfortunately skipped my inbox on its way in and went straight to the suspected spam folder, which is blasphemous all by itself. Braid, easily one of the best games of the current generation, has finally arrived on the PSN… actually it arrived 5 days ago but let’s not argue over the finer details involved. According to my …

  Common Sense Media is a somewhat right wing, religious group who dole out parental advice to people who probably shouldn’t have had children in the first place. Displaying a complete lack of their namesake, they’ve compiled a list of games to avoid buying kids for Christmas, as well as suitable replacements. While their goal is a noble one, and …

Braid is easily one of the best games I have played in the last couple of years and it was really good to hear back in August that it would be coming to the PSN in due time. Well that time is now due if you are the holder of an American PSN account as Braid is ready to be …

It looks like the PSN may be becoming the destination of choice for all top rated downloadable titles. What with Castle Crashers already announcing it’s arrival and now the German censorship bureau has leaked that Hothead are currently developing the PSN version of the title and it has already been rated (and thankfully not banned). For all you PS3 fans …

If I think back over the titles that have been released on the XBLA or PSN there are quite a few titles of real quality which stand out. I am thinking of Castle Crashers, Braid, Flow and Geometry Wars just to name a few. However what is really disconcerting is that none of those titles have sold exceptionally well and …

Jonathon Blow, the developer of the smash hit Braid has been chatting at GDC about many things, one of them being the size of the budget required to make a game like Braid. Well it’s not the little budget game we thought it was, it actually required a budget of around $200 000 which is just a little more than …

Congratulations to Behemoth, the creators of Castle Crashers, for picking up the Xbox Live Arcade Game of the Year award for 2008… and Best Original Game… and Best co-op Mode. Though you have to say that the last one only counts after the latest patch was applied as before that it was a complete abomination of a co-op title. It …

Jonathan Blow, Braid’s independent developer, has been chatting to NowGamer about the success of Braid and his upcoming game. According to Jonathan “I’ve got a lot of projects that I’m always thinking about, and I’ve got one that I’ve started that’s very different in almost every way from Braid”

  In a time where sequels are prevalent (and mostly successful), Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade looks to have it’s own follow-up to it’s fruitful Summer of Arcade. The original “Summer of Arcade”  saw the release of stellar games such as Braid, Castle Crashers and Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 – all of which were critically lauded, financially auspicious and quite …

Forget the upcoming national elections in April. Who cares about national governance when there’s really important stuff to vote on. As of March 3, you’ll be able to cast your votes for the best Xbox Live Arcade had to offer in 2008, using the New Xbox Experience’s spotlight channel. My votes will likely be spread between Super Street Fighter II …
