Terra Mechanica “Virtual” Launch Party – There will be … SWAG!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 29, 2014

Massive Indie RPG Pay-What-You-Want Bundle Available Now!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on September 17, 2013

Since before computer games even existed as an industry, the computer role-playing game genre has been heavily influenced by the “indies.” We didn’t know them as indies back then – we didn’t even refer to the games as “role-playing games” at that point – but there were individuals and small teams working on their own […]

Twenty indie games (does Alan Wake American Nightmare count as indie?). Pick 5 and pay only $10 for the lot of ’em. My problem? I already own all the games I’d be interested in. Not that I can really call that a “problem.” In college I’d dream about having that kind of problem…. GOG.COM Pick […]
