New Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two Trailer Released
Posted 5/16/12 5:45 pm EST by MTV Video Games in Mac, News, PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360
By Jeffrey Matulef
Epic Mickey may have been a flawed game, but it was still one of the most interesting releases in the last few years, if only because Disney allowed Warren Spector and his team at Junction Point to play fast and loose with the empire's canon. They redesigned Mickey into a new retro form that was scrappier and more ratlike than his cheery modern doppleganger, and more importantly, the game represented the first time Mickey and his forbear, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, had been united.

Space Quest Creators Want to Make 'SpaceVenture' With Your Help via Kickstarter
Posted 5/9/12 5:30 pm EST by MTV Video Games in Mac, News, PC
By Jeffrey Matulef
Space Quest series creators Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy have returned to the games industry after an over two decade hiatus under their new label, Two Guys from Andromeda. Their first project, SpaceVenture, just began its Kickstarter campaign.
SpaceVenture will be a "space adventure" game in the vain of Space Quest. Two Guys From Andromeda have already roped in an all-star voice cast consisting of GLaDOS voice actress, Ellen McClain, the voice of Space Ghost, Gary Owens, and ubiquitous cartoon voice actor, Rob Paulsen (Wakko from Animaniacs, Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
The Eugene, OR-based outfit seeks $500,000 by Jun 12th to fund the project. The Kickstarter has been up less than a day and as of writing this they've amassed $78,587 in pledges. Donating $15 or more guarantees access to a DRM free version of the game upon its release, while a pledge of $30 or more will grant access to the beta and digital soundtrack.
If funded, SpaceVenture will be developed for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, and Android tablets with a tentative release date of February, 2013.
Between this and the already funded Kickstarters for adventure game veterans Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight), Al Lowe (Leisure Suit Larry), and Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango) one wonders if this could bring about a second renaissance of the genre. Here's hoping anyway.

Op-Ed: How The Walking Dead Nails Inhabiting a Defined Character
Posted 5/7/12 6:30 pm EST by MTV Video Games in Mac, Op-Ed, PC, PS3, Xbox 360

[Warning: This piece contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: Episode One.]
There's a moment in The Walking Dead game where an attractive reporter mentions that she was rescued by a chubby nerd named Doug. "That guy rescued you?" protagonist, Lee Everett asks, incredulously, before remarking that you never know who's going to be the hero in these situations.
That you don't know how people will react in an emergency is key to The Walking Dead's identity. On the surface, it's about a bunch of survivors in tense situations. Do you throw a little boy out of a hideout because he looks like he's been bit? Should you save the able bodied teenager or the small boy? What about giving a recently infected girl a gun, so she can blow her brains out before turning zombie? These are tough situations with no right answer. How people act during them can be completely incongruous to who they ordinarily are.
