Pixel Noir: a JRPG for the Sam Spade Crowd
Indie RPGs aren't terribly uncommon nowadays. Neither are indie RPGs with a retro flair. But an indie RPG with a retro flair that's also set against a film noir backdrop?Ok, you've got my attention.Stepping into the shoes of a shamed police detective turned private eye, Pixel Noir will task players with finding clues, interrogating suspects, and - since it's also a JPRG at heart - engaging in turn-based battles with some unexpectedly gruesome foes. Pixel Noir definitely piqued my curiosity, but it also has me thinking out loud: Is film noir the next big trend in games? Pixel Noir's existence seems to have come along right at the same time as the sci-fi gumshoe adventure Last Life, and both seem to have timed nicely with the release of Third Eye Crime.Even Telltale's been getting in on the action with The Wolf Among Us.Pixel Noir will be wrapping up its Kickstarter later this week, and it could use your help to cross the finish line. Be sure to check out the official project page, and if you like what you see, send a pledge their way.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is 50% off, should you want to kick it old school
With the new Call of Duty announcement still hot off the presses (Kevin Spacey, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??), what better time is there to remember the long time ago of 2007 when CoD first became the defacto name for online shooters? That's right - the latest offer on Gamezebo Deals is for none other than Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.Normally available for $19.99, you can snag a Steam key for this "modern" classic for just $10. I haven't heard back from my mathematician yet, but if my amateur calculations are correct, that's a savings of 50%!Less talking, more buying. Then shooting.
Mark of the Old Ones: Fun with Tentacles
As you can probably guess from the name (assuming you're well-steeped in literary horror), Mark of the Old Ones is a game that embraces the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. But after watching the trailer, I'm more inclined to think that the game was inspired by Wacky Wally - the classic wall-crawling octopus that came in a cereal box and lost his stickiness after his third attempt at adventure.It's a strange comparison, but bear with me. Or better yet, watch the Mark of the Old Ones Kickstarter video below to see the gameplay in action.
Blizzard Is Giving Away Their Early Classics
Every studio had to start somewhere, and with Blizzard, that somewhere was still pretty amazing. Do you remember The Lost Vikings? That was Blizzard. Rock n' Roll Racing? Blizzard, too. Even Blackthorne, which admittedly, I'm a little hazier on, was an early Blizzard property.While all worth a download (especially since they're free), I'd like to call particular attention to The Lost Vikings. It was arguably the first puzzle platformer with a "switch between different characters to solve the puzzles" mechanic, it was unique enough to inspire a whole sub-genre of puzzle platforming. And also, it's just pretty damned great.It's also worth noting that fellow Gamezebo scribe Steven Strom thinks that The Lost Vikings' Olaf the Stout could be making an appearance in Blizzard's upcoming MOBA Heroes of the Storm. And that would just be… wow.
Get Sword of Fargoal for Free, Right Now
Love roguelikes? How about really really old school roguelikes? Yes? Good. Get ye butt to the App Store. Sword of Fargoal, a 1982 desktop classic resurrected by its original creator Jeff McCord, has dropped its price to $0 for the next three days. Why? Because Jeff McCord has something to celebrate.Sword of Fargoal 2 completed a successful Kickstarter campaign back in September 2012, with an estimated delivery date of May 2013. As is often the case though, the project became more time-consuming than the project creators had originally envisioned. But in an update to Kickstarter backers that went live this morning, McCord announced they've brought a new developer onto the team to help them see Sword of Fargoal 2 to completion: Anthony Salter. If that's a new name to you too, I suggest you join me in downloading the demo of his previous work, Inaria.There's still no specific launch date for Fargoal 2, but McCord & Co are trying their damnedest to get it out before the end of 2014. In the meantime, if you're looking for a little more of Jeff McCord handiwork, can I recommend Wizard Hex and Cargo Runners?
2-bit Cowboy Might Just Be the Best Pocket Western of 1989
The Nintendo Game Boy celebrated it's 25th anniversary in April, and two things happened as a result: it made me feel old, and it made me feel nostalgic. And while Crescent Moon Games can't do much about my age, they're prepared to help me out with my nostalgia.Published by Crescent Moon and developed by Cascadia Games, 2-bit Cowboy is every bit the lost Gameboy title you want it to be. The trailer can give you a pretty good feel for what's in store, and after having a chance to go hands on with the game early, I'm happy to report that it plays as good as it looks. Also, "Westernvania" is my new favorite word.Saddle up, cowpokes. This one hits the App Store this Thursday, May 8.
Tales from the Borderlands: First screenshots emerge, coming this summer
Wondering what Telltale's take on the ever-gorgeous world of Borderlands will look like? SURPRISE! It looks a lot like Borderlands. Lucky for us, that's a really good thing.The art direction shouldn't be a shock for any number of reasons - the least of which is the teaser trailer that Telltale released when announcing the series - but that doesn't mean we're any less excited to see a bevy of screenshots emerge.In addition to launching these new images into the wild, Telltale gave Tales from the Borderlands a tentative release window this morning, "later this summer," and they've confirmed that the story will take place after Borderlands 2.Strap in folks - these postcards from Pandora should help you bridge the gap until you can visit it yourself in the coming months.Hit the jump for four more.
