    Kickstarter Picks: Super Comboman

    By

    Have you ever noticed how similar the words "combo" and "combat" are? It's as though they were made for each other! This symbiotic relationship has been utilized countless times in the past, as anyone who's played a fighting game can attest to. But where combos are concerned, few fighting games hold a candle to 2D beat-em-up Super Comboman, a title that just might break the world record for most combos in any one game.

    Kickstarter Picks: Kickathon

    By

    Forgive me readers, for I have sinned. This next Kickstarter Pick does not in fact highlight a Kickstarter campaign. Before you call the online article police, however, at least hear me out. First and foremost, the online article police don't even exist, so give your head a shake. Secondly, if you're a fan of our regular crowdfunding segment, you're going to want to pay attention. Kickathon is practically made for you.

    Kickstarter Picks: Mindblown Life

    By

    Games have the ability to be incredible educational tools, as anyone who's played Oregon Trail can attest to. I mean, did you have any idea that Oregon was a state before that game was released? Probably not. And what of financial literacy? That's something many of us could do with learning more about. If you're nodding your head in agreement or pondering to yourself what on earth "financial literacy" means, Mindblown Life was made for you.

    Kickstarter Picks: Old-School RPG

    By

    As someone who started gaming with an NES, I often lament the death of the instruction booklet. Full of color, packed with a tantalizing look at the game world you were about to enter; like having dessert before the meal. For fans of classic RPGs - packed as they were with cloth maps, intricate ornaments, and more - I can only imagine the pain of today's trinket-free industry. Don't worry: Brenda Brathwaite and Tom Hall are here to help.

    Kickstarter Picks: Gamemaster Howard’s Know-It-All

    By

    If you're of the right age, chances are you remember being supremely jealous of Howard Phillips. He served as "Gamemaster" for Nintendo in the late 80s/early 90s, helping design many of the games that brought the company to fame. Of course, most adolescent minds interpreted that to mean he was paid to play video games, a position that is inarguably the coolest thing ever. He's worn many hats in the industry since then, but his latest project - Gamemaster Howard's Know-It-All - just might be his most ambitious.

    Kickstarter Picks: Devil’s Cove

    By

    A couple of weeks ago, we featured a Kickstarter that looks to be leading the charge in reviving the Choose Your Own Adventure genre. But what about building your own adventure? If independent developer Anarchy Enterprises has anything to say about it, that may soon be a reality. After launching dozens of games since the debut of their first project, Moon Tycoon, in 2001, the studio is turning to the public to crowd-source not only the funds for their next project, but the creative ownership of it too.

    Kickstarter Picks: G.H.O.S.T. Chronicles: The Magician’s Curse

    By

    Perhaps my favorite ride at Disneyland is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. With meticulous detail and theming of everything from the lineup to the attendants, it wraps you up in the creepy tale of a hotel haunted by the events of a fateful night during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It dances gleefully between reverence for classic films and for classic scares. Even if you haven't taken a trip on the Tower, though, bottle that feeling. You may just be getting a game that does the trick.

    Kickstarter Picks: Sword of Fargoal 2

    By

    With the advent of services like Kickstarter, it's rare for anything in video games to die. If some developer is in love with a concept or genre that flamed out 20 years ago, chances are they can pitch a revival and find a group of people interested enough to throw money at them. This concept holds true to specific games as well, as we've seen with the Kickstarter campaign to create a new Wasteland. And then there's Sword of Fargoal 2, a remake of a game that came out over 25 years ago.
