Project Giana on Kickstarter- The Return of 2D Platforming Bliss

by Triverse

2D platformers are a dying breed.

Longtime fans of the genre will make mention of a plumber, a couple of rodents and even a caveman among a myriad of other oddities that no one in their right mind would have thought of. But that is for console gamers. Now, ask a computer gamer from the times before Windows and you will receive different answers- mainly one answer: The Great Giana Sisters, which was actually based QUITE A BIT on the model that Nintendo used for Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The VGAs — Rant Follow-Up

by Incontrol88

If you listened to my rant HERE on the Paranerds Podcast, you know I think the VGAs didn’t really get a fair shake. Its important to note that this is only the 9th annual event, meaning a decade ago we didn’t even have a mainstream award show for games. That being said, I think we could all stand to be a little more appreciative of the attention our medium is getting, even if every pretentious ass with a Twitter account thinks they could have run it better.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 Review

by sniper430

I love Valkyria Chronicles.  The strategy and third-person aspects are complex, innovative, and pulse-pounding. Not only is the game beautiful with it’s canvas engine, which allows you to wage war within an artistic, watercolor canvas, but the writers also know how to pen a great story.  So you could say I was a little biased when I picked Valkyria Chronicles 2 up for half price on the PSN (Should’ve picked this up way sooner).
