The game hunt!
0Can anybody help me out on this one: back around 1998-2000 I played a PC game which had similar mechanics to Dr Mario, split screen multiplayer, great graphics and a fantastic soundtrack. One of the songs (i think when you were exiting the game?) was very similar in mood to this one:

… i know so much about it, and yet i can’t remember the name of the game and none of this info is Google friendly… can anybody help me out with some human memories? I remember each side of the screen had a different mascot doing cute animations based on what you were playing. Help?
Dungeons… finders, keepers
5Now which olden game does this remind you of? To be honest, the artwork (from cinematics to geometry and storytelling) is to me unimpressive but i suspect this game’s fun might come in it’s game play: the reason i give it hope is that it comes from Kalypso who’s Patrician games i’ve been very very much enjoying recently… and of course because it finally revived the other side of the story as presented in Dungeon Keeper. With companies like this one may even hope they or somebody might have the guts to do a proper remake or successor to the politically incorrect Carmageddon.
GT Most Anticipated Games of 2011
8Cool stuff to look forward to! And more than 2 RPGs! (and they didn’t even mention the new Elder Scrolls game)… one question though: if anybody’s played Zelda, please do explain to me the appeal of those games. They either have something really cool to be in a list with such high budget visual and dense content gems … or it just got in as a nod to massive Wii ownership?
Happy New Year, Artsygamers!!!
5May the new year bring you joy, happiness, success and accomplishments, but above all health and love. And of course, lots of gamezz :D Happy new year!
The Humble Indie Bundle #2
1Wow! this is mindblowing! And u set the price, no DRM, no limits and works not ‘just’ on Win AND Mac… but even Linux (which btw i see are on average twice as generous as Windows users… maybe there’s hope for Linux gaming YET!). Braid seems great from what i’ve seen, Osmos is fantastic and we even have a brilliant article on Machinarium … so it’s actually very cool games
Minecraft basics
4I actually watched a bunch of these just in amazement and for survival entertainment purposes. The geeky equivalent of a nature survival show? :)) I like this guy’s voice & humor, I guess? Or is it the idea of making anything?

Yep, u can stop rubbing your eyes in disbelief. This is a very well kept secret, but it’s true. They’re giving it away :D A bit tough to find but if you head on over to http://store.steampowered.com/app/8230/ you’ll notice that, unlike all the other episodes, instead of the “buy game”, there’s a “install game” button, so if you’ve been meaning to give this adventure/puzzle game series a try, here’s your chance. I haven’t finished it so I can’t say much about it (though if it’s anything like the old game it’s humor is very weird :P Give it a try! Meet the aggressive white bunny! :D
