Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:09:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It's been, how shall I put this, "interesting" to watch some of the news stories floating around the indienets this week and certainly in one case, just plain embarassing. The sort of embarassment where you want to crawl into a box somewhere, bury the box 30ft below the ground shouting ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/10/11/pricing-and-petititons/ One of the best DS games of the past 12 or so months *and* with that thing as a background? I hear the words "sold" echoing around my head for some reason. http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/10/09/space-invaders-extreme-360/ Probably (hopefully) the only time I'll print a press release verbatim on here... BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, 6th October 2008: The best consumer gaming event of 2008 just got better, with 56 playable games now confirmed for the Eurogamer Expo, which takes place at the Old Truman Brewery in London on October 28th ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/10/07/eurogamer-expo/ Gah, I'm all over the shop with stuff. It's more than a little frustrating as at the moment, thanks to C4 starting school I'm actually starting to get some time back - which has been curiously absent in the 6-8 months prior. He's off out most of the day and in ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/10/03/headflid/ I sometimes like to believe that I'm quite immune to hype. Obviously, I'm not. I'm human (contrary to what some people believe) and just as much a sucker as the next person. If I truly were immune to hype then there's no way on Earth I'd have suddenly got the desire ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/09/27/horrific/ http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/09/18/illustrated-tips-for-the-hard-of-developing-1/ Time for a quick look at some stuff that's interested me and in some cases just plain irritated the gubbins out of my backside. I've long given up on making this regular as clockwork as I'm rapidly discovering that running RR and dealing with a small muppet takes up an ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/09/17/randomly-timed-links-round-up/ I've waxed lyrical about the beauty of Deadeye before now so I'll save you the indignity of my gushing once more. It's probably the best Galaga-esque game that doesn't bear the Galaga name out there in my not so humble opinion. It was a bargain at a couple of your ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/09/10/deadeye-2/ I've mentioned an awful lot of times recently my love for the more simplistic vector approach to graphics, clean lines and high speed gaming is something I utterly adore. When I were a lad and the humble Speccy were in its prime (enough of that - Ed) there was a ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/09/05/design-design-design/ It's national sequel week on this blog it would seem. Not that there's anything wrong with that, especially with two incredibly high quality sequels released within 7 days of each other. People of the gameiverse, you spoil me (and cost me a fortune). Strange Attractors 2 is, weirdly enough, the follow ... http://www.merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2008/09/03/strange-attractors-2/
