Costume Quest 2 is GO! Set to spook gamers Halloween 2014
Oh my god, oh my god, Costume Quest 2 is happening.Phew, now that that's out of the way, here are the details. The second full game in the "my first RPG" series was announced courtesy of developer Double Fine and small-time publisher Midnight City.In typical Double Fine fashion, the announcement comes by way of an amusing live-action short featuring Tim Schafer himself. Beyond the title and publisher, the video does little to inform us about the game. Costume Quest was one of several downloadable games cited with helping to save Double Fine after several financial (though not critical) flops. In the original, players controlled a group of trick-or-treating children whose imagination transformed their costumes into the real thing and allowed them to fight supernatural mischief-makers.
Here’s what Whitaker Trebella, creator of Polymer and Pivvot, is playing
Whitaker Trebella is a busy man. When he's not making great mobile games like Polymer (recently a Starbucks free game selection) and Pivvot, he's composing the soundtracks to all of your other favorite games. Tilt to Live, Super Stickman Golf, Velocispider - the tunes in those games are all Whitaker.Keeping him busy nowadays? A crowd-powered attempt to bring Pivvot to Steam. The game is on Steam Greenlight, and if you're already a fan of his work you should do the man a solid and give it an upvote.With so much on his plate, you'd think it would be a real challenge for Mr. Trebella to take a break from contributing to games to actually play them. He's inclined to agree - but that doesn't mean he hasn't managed to squeeze some game time into the last few months.We recently chatted with Whitaker to answer that one burning question that's on all of our minds: what'cha been playing?
so flappy. much dogecoin. wow.
What happens when you mix the latest game clone craze with the hottest Bitcoin alternative payment clone?It's time to play . . . Super Doge!The gameplay is similar to Flappy Bird, which means it's pretty basic. The twist is that as you navigate your doge through the pipes, you collect coins, which can be redeemed for dogecoins. The more coins you collect, the greater your share of dogecoins you can earn per day.The complicated formula is articulated on the developer's web site, but to keep it simple, if you were the only player of the game per day, you'd earn all the dogecoins.Unfortunately for you, the game is getting popular, with 5000 downloads so far according to The Daily Dot. At this point, Gamezebo is receiving about 25 review requests per day for Flappy Bird clones, but this game is unique in it is apparently not based on a $10 framework.And, not surprisingly, it's Android only for now. The iPhone may get the exclusive on Threes! and every other favorite new app of mine, but Android gets Super Doge.The developer is currently donating the prize money, but requesting volunteers to pay into the prize pool. Given how tipsy the Dogecoin community is (as the Jamaican bobsled team can attest), he should be successful building it up.
Browser Pick: Into the Box
Into The Box is a mouse-only arcade game where players guide themselves through rapidly appearing rectangles. Passing through the rectangles is the only way to progress into the next area of rectangles, which more rectangles then quickly appear within. As one can imagine, the game is not exactly friendly for players who suffer from motion sickness or have a paralyzing fear of endlessly falling through brightly-colored shapes.The more rectangles the player passes through, the higher their score will be. Unlockables are attained once the player breaks through an established high-score tier. The unlockables include score multipliers, different soundtracks, and an "auto-pilot" mode which, at a 1500 score requirement, I may never find out what exactly that does (my best high-score is 196)."Developed by Tarik Kaya, of the Kayabros, Into the Box recently released for free on Google Play. Into the Box is also available to play in-browser on Kongregate, Itch.io, and Newgrounds. As the game continues to grow in popularity, many have questioned Kaya's reasoning for releasing the game for free, without any ads to support him either.
Reporting in, Of Guards And Thieves open beta infiltrated
Thinking back two console generations ago, I can instantly recall fond memories of lurking through the shadows and patrolling the corridors of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow's multiplayer mode, Spies vs. Mercenaries. The mode divided a small group of players into the two aforementioned teams. Both the spies and mercenaries came equipped with their own set of abilities and gear. The mercenaries were tasked with preventing the spies from completing certain objectives, and the spies needed to sneak in and out without being killed. Once the game started, a heart-pounding game of cat-and-mouse ensued, with the spies darting in and out of the shadows and the mercenaries trying to hunt them down.Of Guards and Thieves takes the core of the Spies vs. Mercenaries game mode and simplifies it into a less-complex, but just as engaging, concept. With the game's open Beta in full swing, I gave Of Guards and Thieves a download and proceeded to let it sneak off with a few hours of my evening.

This Week in China: A little bit of communism, a whole lot of capitalism
With so much business wheeling and dealing, sometimes it's easy to forget that China is a nation enshrouded in communist principles. This week's Chinese gaming news brings a subtle reminder of that - though it certainly brings a fair share of capitalism-loving financial actions too.Thanks to our friends at Beijing-based Laohu.com for sharing this news round-up with our Western readers.

The House of Mouse just got a whole lot smaller; Disney Interactive lays off 700
In the corporate world, even long-awaited good news doesn't mean there isn't bad news for some people in the organization.That was the case for Disney Interactive, which despite turning a profit in the last quarter of 2013 on the strength of Disney Infinity nevertheless laid off 700 employees this week, or just over a quarter of its total workforce. Along with the job cuts, the division is closing several offices in the U.S., plus one each in South Korea and India.As you might expect with such a drastic reduction in headcount, Disney Interactive will simply develop less games moving forward, relying on partnerships with outside studios instead. It also may avoid big ticket purchases, as many media reports are spinning the company's latest move as a referendum on its 2010 acquisition of Playdom.
