Ultraviolent top-down kill-everything-'em-up Hotline Miami has sold over 130,000 copies since launch, according to Devolver Digital project manager Graeme Struthers, despite being "torrented to such a staggering level."
"Given the file size of it, I mean, you can't really be surprised, right?" Struthers told Eurogamer. "You could pass this thing around on the world's smallest memory stick. So it has been pirated to extraordinary levels."

One of the most basic ways that people learn to play is with blocks. From Lincoln Logs to Legos, all different sizes and shapes of blocks have been a part of play going back hundreds of years to when people just stacked rocks on top of one another. While there have been incremental improves on the basic concept of the block, little has come in the way of bringing thes basic objects into the technological age, at least until the Sifteo Cubes were released last year.
The Cubes were 1.7-inch, motion-aware, plastic blocks with clickable screens, that interacted with other Sifteo Cubes when nearby. They were a technological leap forward, but they were not with out their problems. A confusing interface, the necessity to be near a computer, and a limited software catalog were among a few of the system's standout issues. So, when the team at Sifteo went back to the drawing board for the second generation of the Cubes, they made it a priority to address those issues while updating the tech behind their "magic blocks" to create a much more polished final product. And thus, the latest Sifteo Cubes were born.

Be prepared to justify Lee's decisions. That's the takeaway from "No time Left," the final episode of Telltale Games' "The Walking Dead," which concluded last week on the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Mac (the iOS version is incoming). More than any other game this year, "The Walking Dead" has not just been about player choice, but making players own up to those choices made for Lee, a convict-turned-caretaker for Clementine, a lost and scared little girl in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Throughout this season, players (as Lee) have had to make decisions that would guarantee to (or at least prolong) his and Clementine's survival in the face of other travelers, bandits, cannibals, and of course, the flesh-eating dead.
Which leads to the other takeaway from this final, poignant, heartbreaking episode: "Clementine will remember this."

The finale to what's been, in my opinion, one of the most emotionally wrenching games of 2012, is coming to consoles, PC, and the Mac next week. The fifth and final episode of "The Walking Dead" titled, "No Time Left" will see an end of our time with Lee and Clementine (one way or another).
