Feature: Pitching The Reddest Rose
Concept Art - A 2D suburban environment that goes through stages of black and white, color, and 3D.
Introduction: A Metroidvania game for the art-house indie generation, The Reddest Rose re-imagines Mario’s “princess in distress” formula for all of those gamers who grew up and found out the crushing reality of relationships. This time around, the castle between you and the princess isn’t a prison, but a fortress of heart-crushing distance and a constant reminder of how she shattered your world. Quite literally, in fact: the all-too-brief introduction of vibrant colors, sweet symphonies, and 3D wonder plummets into the depths of a Side-Scrolling Puzzle-Platformer characterized by bleak silence the moment she leaves you for the jerk with the castle. Your goal is to confront the ensuing depression with relics of your past and restore life to the world.

Not this.
With Halloween coming up on us in just a week, I figured now would be as good a time as any to examine the best costumes in video games.

A perfect example of this is illustrated by a game I’ve been playing religiously for the past week.
Author: CodyFeature: Where’s the “Citizen Kane of video games”?
It seems like a concept that’s thrown around a lot these days is the parallel between video games and cinema, and the taunting question of when’s our Citizen Kane going to come around? But I wonder if all the people pondering this aloud truly understand what they’re looking for. I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that the vast majority of gamers haven’t actually seen Orson Welles’ 1941 classic. I have. And while I certainly believe it to be a great film and can recognize its significance in the history of motion pictures, it’d be a stretch to call it the greatest movie of all time.
