A while back, we reported on Hawken, an indie mech-game developed by Adhesive Games. Pax 2011 was the last time that I heard anything about the game. But according to Hawken's website, the game now has a release date of December 12, 2012 and an upcoming closed multiplayer beta.
More Indie Bundles! For better or worse, The Humble Indie Bundle crew is back in action (personally, I'm always down for cheap indie games). Oddly enough, this bundle has come for your Android phone. As an iPhone user, this bundle is just something that I cannot get behind. Not because I don't like the charities or because I'm sick of indie bundles, simply put, I'm an iPhone guy (and I own all of these games on Steam).
If you don't own an Android phone, you can always download these games for your PC, Mac, or Linux system (DRM free of course). So don't let the whole Android focus stop you. Normal Indie Bundle rules apply: donate what you want to get Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Edge, and Osmos. If you give more than the average, then you also get World of Goo.
Personally, I'm a big fan of Edge, Osmos, and World of Goo. If you somehow haven't managed to play these games, now is the time.
I don't know if you've heard of RadianGames or not, but this Tuesday the indie developer is releasing what looks to be an awesome set of games for the low price of $9.99. Now this may be a total meh moment if the name RadianGames doesn't ring a bell. RadianGames is really just a single dude named Luke Schneider who makes relativly popular Xbox Live Indie Games and iOS arcade styled schmups (shoot'em ups).
Rockstar Games announced that Max Payne 3's release date is being pushed back May 15th. While this may be disheartening to all of you Max Payne fans who have been waiting for a sequel for the last nine years, it's almost always a good thing for developers to get more time with the game, especially when the developer is Rockstar.
Look on the bright side, now you'll have more time to play Mass Effect 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3.
Good news for all of you Double Fine Production fans, the studio's next Xbox Live Downloadable game Happy Action Theater is releasing on February 1st. If you follow Tim Schafer on Twitter, then this really isn't news to you because he announced the official date late last Friday (and if you don't follow him, shame on you; he is pretty funny).
Happy Action Theater is following with Double Fine Production's recent move to focus solely on experimental downloadable games. The studio has released some great downloadable games over the last two years like Costume Quest, Stacking, and Iron Brigade (a.k.a. as Trenched). So get ready for a quirky but interesting experience. Happy Action Theater looks to be a sweet party game.
