    Kickstarter Picks: Artizens

    By

    Let me just preface this Kickstarter Pick by telling you that the original Mega Man on NES is what got me into gaming, and that Shadow of the Colossus was one of the finest video game experiences I've ever had to date. That's why most of us here at Gamezebo couldn't be more excited about Artizens, an upcoming indie game for PC and Mac that's currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. It's like a sidescrolling Shadow of the Colossus that you can play with your friends. Do I really need to say anything more?

    Kickstarter Picks: Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake

    By

    There are a whole lot of ways a birthday can go wrong, but monsters stealing your cake just might top the list. That's exactly what happens to Niko, the main character of the aptly-named Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake. But Niko's not the type to sit back and let bullies walk all over him, and he immediately sets out in search of the guilty monsters.

    Kickstarter Picks: Wildman

    By

    The action RPG genre is incredibly popular. The RTS genre is incredibly popular. If you combined the two, would the end result be the most popular thing in the history of ever? It's hard to say, really, but we'll find out soon enough from Gas Powered Games' Wildman, an upcoming game that intends to weld the two genres together in a meaningful, symbiotic way.

    Kickstarter Picks: Full Bore

    Pigs do more than just wait in line to wind up on your breakfast table. Some of them are actually seasoned explorers (Mmm—seasoned). For absolute proof, look at the stout, four-legged protagonist for the PC game Full Bore. If the Kickstarter goes through, you'll be able to dig, fight, solve puzzles, and go adventuring with a lump of tusked bacon.

    Kickstarter Picks: GameTron 1000

    By

    The thing about most video games is that they're a known quantity. When you fire up Super Mario Bros., you know you're going to get a 2D platformer with Goombas, warp pipes, and that jerk Lakitu dropping spiked turtles on you. There's nothing wrong with that, necessarily, but it isn't how GameTron 1000 rolls. It has the ability to randomly generate games across a wide variety of genres, making no two experiences with it the same.

    Kickstarter Picks – Galactic Keep: Dice Battles

    By

    I hate the term vaporware.  I know that it exists, and I know that some games really become it - but just because a game takes a ridiculous amount of time to develop doesn't mean that it's not coming.  Take Galactic Keep: Dice Battles.  This is a game that's been on my radar since 2009.  Most people would think I was crazy to expect it to still happen after all this time - but with your help, it may actually cross the finish line sooner than later.

    Kickstarter Picks: The Last Door

    By

    A horror game that's actually scary is a beautiful thing. More often than not it requires every component—eerie music, unpredictable events, solid writing etc.— working in tandem to cultivate the desired creepy atmosphere. But as we've learned over the years, realistic graphics are far from a necessity. Just take a look at Nanashi no Game and Home: both feature simple pixel art and are still incredibly frightening. The Last Door, a point-and-click adventure game playable via browser, is looking to follow this same humble path, offering up as many scares as it does pixels.

    Kickstarter Picks: Tiny Barbarian DX

    By

    What's more retro than a movie about a beefy, shirtless barbarian? A pixel-based video game about a beefy, shirtless barbarian. Maybe you had a chance to play last year's Tiny Barbarian, a simple but compelling side-scroller by retro game fan Michael Stearns. Now Stearns and his friend, Daniel Roth, are turning to Kickstarter in hopes of funding a remake of the game for the PC. It's a big undertaking, even if the game's hero is oh-so tiny.
