«This is you, Blogger McDumbblog. Hideo Kojima has been saying that the next Metal Gear game will be his last since before Sons of Liberty was released.

I think it’s safe not to tell people he’s said it again, no matter how much I wish he would get a multi-picture deal beyond his Metal Gear movie, so it would actually happen and he could do something he’s better at.

Rebukefully,
MJG

Mystic Inn does a search and replace on grease and checkerboard tile, putting potions and pointy wizard hats in their place.

I don’t understand why you’d be working in an independent studio if all you’re going to do is schlub work like this, with a tiny budget to boot. Isn’t the point of being an indie that you tradeoff big publisher support and get to work on something personal, something that would have at least a small measure of your own creativity? A tiny sliver, even.

Bad indie, no link. Instead, check out VH1’s game blog (subtitle: “What’s classic, innovative, and new in games.”) which gives this $2-of-derivative-in-a-$20-bag piece of monkey crap an overenthusiastic fluffing (it’s “scary groovy”), complete with a press release copy and paste job and props to their aforementioned Zuma and Bejeweled clones.
