Knights of Pen & Paper & Pre-orders & Previews

Jesse Henning — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:19:19 +0000

We talked briefly about Knights of Pen & Paper +1 Edition a couple of months & days ago; it’s the game where you play players who are playing a game. Well, Paradox Interactive (a TriplePoint client & friend) has finally issued the errata to their last printing, and it came with a release date: June 18, [...] Related posts:

Green Throttle Passing out the Green

Quinn Wageman — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 18:39:15 +0000

Playing Android games on a Green Throttle Atlas controller can transform a mobile title into a full console experience, if you’re playing the right game. So much so that Green Throttle Games (a TriplePoint client) is helping its developer partners offer the controller as an option to players with a new affiliate program: if gamers [...] Related posts:

LIMBO Got on the Vita, Baby

Jesse Henning — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 17:50:34 +0000

We’ve been fans of LIMBO since its time on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Maybe it’s the art, maybe it’s the tone, maybe it’s the clever, diabolical puzzles and traps, but as haunting realms go, LIMBO from TriplePoint client Playdead is among the best to be trapped in. Now, thanks to the game’s release for the PS [...] Related posts:

Leviathan: Warships is Jazzing Up Gaming

Jesse Henning — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:34:52 +0000

A few weeks ago, TriplePoint client Paradox Interactive put a smooth, jazzy blip on our radar by unveiling perhaps the coolest game trailer ever conceived. Today, the game on display, Leviathan: Warships, has made its way to both Apple and Android tablets, delivering the turn-based tactical goodness it promised. Again, though, that’s not really why I [...] Related posts:

Real-Time Shambler: Zombie Tycoon 2 is Out

Jesse Henning — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:14:52 +0000

We threatened revenge a while back if TriplePoint client Frima Studio neglected to release a game today. Well, they released it, so now they get to have the revenge. Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov’s Revenge is out for PS3 and Vita via PSN, and, P.S. — it’s free if you have PS Plus. Go start zombifying an army [...] Related posts:

Nuns Attack the PS Vita

Jesse Henning — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:13:22 +0000

So, if nuns are attacking you, that pretty much plants you firmly in the “evil” camp, right? I’m not sure what we’re meant to infer about the PlayStation Vita from this news, but all the same, TriplePoint client Frima Studio is bringing a Nun Attack to the Vita. Before, Nun Attack had only been declared on mobile platforms, [...] Related posts:

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D Opens its Rides to the Public

Jesse Henning — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 23:42:37 +0000

I think I understand what took Atari this long to get us a RollerCoaster Tycoon game on a handheld system. They forgot to click the little green flag, is what happened. I understand the problem — it happens constantly to me when I’m playing. I’ll set up the biggest, best, most bad-ass park the world has [...] Related posts:

I Got 99Games but Nightclub Mayhem is Actually One

Jesse Henning — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 19:23:38 +0000

99Games has, according to their website, 11games. We like to think they’re getting there, though, and they’re doing pretty well by the games they’ve got so far, such as Nightclub Mayhem, which just got bumped up to VIP status with its 2.0 update. There’s new mini-games, new levels, and the game is now available for Mac [...] Related posts:

You’ve done it again, Holmes — and in 3D, no less. TriplePoint client Focus Home Interactive has announced another pairing with the man who made deerstalkers fashionable, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. This particular outing is on the Nintendo 3DS, and is entitled Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Frozen City. If the solution to the mystery [...] Related posts:

RollerCoaster Tycoon Now Enables 3-Dimensional Tossing of Cookies

Jesse Henning — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 18:49:51 +0000

There’s an easy joke to be made whenever news comes out for a game like RollerCoaster Tycoon. For a game as successful and celebrated as the RCT series (over 11 million units sold, according to Atari), you can say any subsequent release is just coasting on the power of the name alone. See? Easy. Then, you read the [...] Related posts:
