FEZ PLAY: Metro: Last Light (Xbox 360) – Danger In The Subway
I thank the L-o-ord each day… for the Apocalypse!
The sequel to 2010’s Metro 2033 is here and if you never played that game, don’t feel frightened of picking up Metro: Last Light. While Rob cranks away on a review, Kelly and N step into the post-apocalyptic tunnels of Moscow’s subway to deal with scary-looking men, dark ones, and a complete absence of light. Join us for the creep show!
Robot Unicorn Attack 2 (iOS) Review: Do You Believe In Magic? You Should.
I shall call him… Fluffy.
Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is ruining my iPad experience. Like Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on the Nintendo DS (note to self: buy Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for iPad), RUA2 has subverted my playtime of a bunch of other games I’d bought the iPad for and intended to invest a lot of time into. In RUA2‘s defense, it’s fast and pretty and you can start over quickly so any unicorn-based failures you may have are quickly swept away and you just keep playing… and playing…

Brayola Has ‘Fit Or Not’ Feature That Lets You Judge Bra Fits; I’m Not Joking
They let you decide!
I’m sure this came about because of some very professional women in a professional environment and not how you think it did. I know from experience that women complain about their bras. Wires poking places, things too tight other places, etc. It makes sense then that Brayola would introduce a feature to their apparel site called Fit or Not where you can judge whether or not the cups fit the cups properly.
‘Kickstarted’ Kickstarts Kickstarting Kickstarter; I Interview The Documentary’s Producer
Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo.
Believe it or not, we cover a lot of Kickstarters here at FleshEatingZipper. It wasn’t really our intention, but we love the new and resourceful. We like movies to be made without commercial influence, we like our games to not be pinned down by publishers, we like weird stuff. We’re rebels. A few days ago, I put up an interview about Wish I Was Here and its Kickstarter campaign with Zach Braff done in service of Kickstarted, a new documentary about crowdfunding that already features interviews with Brian Fargo, Chris Roberts and others. In turn, I was able to have a few words with executive producer Jason Cooper about his Kickstarter campaign for Kickstarted and what he hopes it’ll pull off.
I Want The Original ‘XCOM’ Shooter Back
Crazy, weird, but not X-COM.
I love X-COM. I liked XCOM. I was weirded out by XCOM. Until now, the connection between 2K Marin’s XCOM and Firaxis’ XCOM: Enemy Unknown seemed tenuous, especially when the former’s involved people fragmenting into cubes and undulating tar blobs screaming through rooms, but the developer sat down and revealed what the heck they’ve been doing for the past three years in advance of August’s release of The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that while they have technically made a better game in the end, they’ve also potentially made a far less interesting one.
‘Strip Search’ Recap: Season 1, Episode 21 “Paint The Line”
Graham and his clone army.
Tuesday’s Strip Search ping pong tournament lead us to… another ping pong tournament! We saw this coming, but now the artists are pairing up with the Penny Arcade staff for a doubles tournament. If I were me, that wouldn’t read as terribly exciting, but if you’re reading this, you’re already invested. Just buckle up, chump.
‘System Shock 2’ Is Now On Steam, H-H-Hacker
The Extent Of My E-E-Empire Is Now Infinite, In-Insect… (Insect)….
Just as we foretold in February, System Shock 2‘s arrival on Steam is now reality. Those willing to embrace some DRM will now be able to induct the cult horror RPG into their Steam library immediately. For its first week, the game is on sale for $6.99, so you should snap it up right away. This moment, even!
‘Legends Of Eisenwald’ Developer Says Steam’s Greenlight Service “Is Great”, Explains Inner Workings
Belarus-based developer Aterdux says Greenlight is still the “Holy Grail” for indie developers like them.
Earlier this week, I wrote a feature about Steam’s Greenlight service, the democratized portal for indie developers to get a shot at being inducted into Steam’s online store without publisher support. I wasn’t very researched in what the service did, but it seemed odd to me that the same indie developers it was designed to help were railing against the service. Greenlight isn’t drawing enough traffic to their indie games; Greenlight isn’t transparent about its selection process; Greenlight isn’t picking out enough games; etc. After we ran the story, Alexander Dergay of Minsk, Belarus-based developer Aterdux, whose medieval RPG is currently #8 on the Greenlight chart, contacted me to explain that the service is still a “Holy Grail” for developers. At its worst, Greenlight is a sometimes frustrating, but valuable lesson on how to sell a game.
