The party game by Double Fine will be released soon.
Double Fine has announced the release date for their new Xbox Live Arcade title exclusively for Kinect. Double Fine Happy Action Theater will be released on February 1, 2012 and will retail for 800 Microsoft Points or $10.
The name change will also be implemented worldwide.
Double Fine's Trenched is coming to Europe under a different name, Iron Brigade. The mech tower defense game will be updated the day the game is released to Europe to change the name. This update will also include new features.
A bright, wholesome, and delightful experience from front to back that won't disappoint.
I was one of the very few people I know who did not grow up watching Sesame Street. As such, I never fully understood the dedication and nostalgia that people who did grow up watching it had for the not-for-profit, educational television show. Never fully understood, until having my own child, I should say. Although my son, Nicholas, is only ten months old, his smile widens and his eyes brighten every morning at 10AM when Sesame Street comes on the air. As I've watched and enjoyed the program for the last few months, I've come to understand why it has been loved by generations. Armed with my new found love for, and expertise on the series, I was genuinely excited to try out Double Fine's newest game based on the beloved TV show, Once Upon a Monster. From beginning to end, the game is a joyous experience full of color and endearing characters that was clearly not just created to be a fun game, but one that is designed to encourage families to play together.
A Mac version and iOS app have also been announced.
Double Fine Productions has just announced that Psychonauts is coming to Mac OS X today. An update for the Steam version of the game was also revealed that will include Steam achievements, cloud saves, and an easier version of the Meat Circus level. “We are really excited,” said Double Fine President Tim Schafer, “to finally be answering fans’ requests for a more difficult Meat Circus.” He's joking, of course.
Tower defense, mechs, television, and cigars. What else could a man want?
Ever picked up an enchanting book which starts off strong with a variety of colorful characters, an interesting plot, and a great setting, making for an engrossing experience that seems to be heading somewhere grand? Ever felt that sort of emptiness inside your gut when that same book just moves in circles, and no early plot elements are fleshed out, where the characters never express their true personality, and event after event feels the same? That's Double Fine's Trenched. An unbelievably well-shaped game with great characters, solid gameplay, and an original setting. Where does Trenched take it? Sadly, practically nowhere, leaving an emptiness inside that was expecting much, much more.
Double Fine's latest is due in two weeks and it offers a unique take on tower defense and third person action.
