    Kickstarter Picks: Two Brothers

    For reasons I don't fully comprehend, I have a serious affinity for old school Game Boy graphics. Nostalgia certainly plays a part, but it runs a little deeper than that. Perhaps it's the simplicity; the overall purity of the style. Whatever the reason may be, it's left me feeling all sorts of smitten with Two Brothers, a game that embraces the classic monochromatic look without being pandering or gimmicky about it.

    Kickstarter Picks: Broken Sword – the Serpent’s Curse

    As someone whose first major gaming experience was Myst - complete as it was with dot-matrix sheets full of scrawled notes - I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the point-and-click adventure. And while I won't rest until Tim Schafer has committed in writing to getting the band back together for another Monkey Island title, today's news of a Kickstarter for a top-notch Broken Sword sequel certainly fills the void... for now, Schafer. For now.

    We here at Gamezebo are especially excited about this installment of Kickstarter Picks. And if you've played Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game - arguably one of the greatest licensed games ever - you should be, too. The team behind the game has decided to reunite and create a 2D action game called Mercenary Kings, but they're going to need our help.

    Ever find yourself missing Pitfall? And no, we aren't talking about the very recently released Activision Temple Run clone. We're talking the original action platformer that revolutionized exploration games on the Atari 2600. It seems that since his incredible entrance into the world of gaming, sequels and development haven't been so kind of our good adventurer Pitfall Harry in terms of a full-fledged sequel.

    Miss classic 16-bit action platformers like Super Ghouls n' Ghosts, Castlevania, and Shinobi? If not, you should. These brilliant games represented an era of true evolution to a genre, combining challenging jumps with intelligent combat strategy. They're the basis of fantastic games like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Assasin's Creed, but very rarely do you see a game succeed, or let alone attempt, the original side-scrolling style.

    Kickstarter Picks: Duck Quest?

    Forget everything you know about old school adventure and RPG games. Also forget everything you know about ducks. Are you done? Perfect. Our latest Kickstarter Pick, Duck Quest? (their question mark, not ours), will shatter the fragile paradigm you exist in, and leave you wondering if you ever really knew what the life of a duck was like.

    While the real-life landing of the 2000-pound rover Curiousity on Mars this morning definitely seems like science fiction now, it's a fun experiment to go back in time and see what our forefathers thought we might have encountered within the far reaches of outer space. Dreamers of the past predicted vast worlds full of intelligent (and occasionally grotesque) extraterrestrial life. While today we now know that any possibility of life on Mars would only be in the form of microscopic organisms, we can't rule out Venus, right?
