This planet is Illuna, a strange, hostile world populated by shadowy creatures, abandoned by humans after mysterious circumstances force a swift evacuation. Its up to you to survive on this strange world, craft new tools and items to assist you, and unravel the mystery of Illuna. Upon creating a character in one of two modes- Normal which is exactly what it sounds like or the crafting-oriented Builder mode that prevents you from dying and progressing in the narrative- and either a randomly generated world or a world from a specific numerical se...

News::Rad Show: Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix Max 2

When I was a child, I use to collect these small flesh colored rubber men. They were pretty odd, but they were all unique. They were called Muscle Men, and I had an army of them. Then my destructive self decided to let them meet their fate to an exercise bike wheel that acted like a grinder. The little figures melted on to the wheel as it spun. Today, we're gonna play Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix Max 2. I'll most likely get frustrated at not understanding foreign language, so we'll pop in Japan World Cup 3 for the rest of the show.

News::Predictions for Tales From the Borderlands

The Geek Link writes - Telltale Games announced at the Spike VGX awards that they would be working with Gearbox Software on a game based on the Borderlands universe. The game, aptly titled Tales From the Borderlands, doesnt have a release date and not much is known about it other than it will make its debut in 2014. With so little actually know about the game, I thought I would place my prediction as to what we can expect in the upcoming game.

avoiderdragon: If youre a bit tired of the platformers that have been coming out from the indie woodwork lately, but still want a bit of that nostalgic factor going on, then perhaps you can shift your attention to arcade beat-em-up games like this one. This genre is a big part of the retro arcade experience, when plenty of tokens were spent on games like Final Fight and Double Dragon. Theyre easy to play and get into, which made them staples in the arcade back in the day. Developers who carry those memories from the olden days have now taken this experience into contemporary times.
