NIDHOGG is a two-player competitive platforming/fighting game that’s been privately taken around to trade shows for years. Only a few have gotten to see it live, and even fewer have been able to play it. This March, Paul Pridham of Madgarden made a “NIDHOGG-like” for the Toronto Game Jam, and gave the public its first taste of what this kind of game is all about. (more…)
So, it’s been kind of a slow month. Yeah, there was that whole Xbox thing, but on the games side, not so much. What was lacking in quantity was made up with the quality of a few games released towards the end of the month. The number of incredible games isn’t dwindling by any means, however. Next month we’re getting two of my most anticipated titles of the year. Also, I’m not going to break my rules and include an older title in this month’s featured games, but please, please, please go check out The Black Heart. It’s a game from 2009, but it’s easily one of my favorite games I’ve played this year. But this is 2013, and that junk is old news. (more…)
If you haven’t heard of NIDHOGG, I wouldn’t blame you. It’s an indie darling that has made its way from one convention to another over the years, and hasn’t ever been released as a full game to the public. I’ve never personally touched it, but the stories I’ve heard have always made me jealous of those that had. Today is finally the day when we’re all allowed the pleasure of touching it together…kind of. (more…)
