E3 2010: Donkey Kong Country Returns

Most of us growing up with a Super Nintendo in our homes were amazed in December of 1994 when one of the best looking platform games ever fell into our video game consoles.  It brought stunning pre-rendered 3D sprites and mindblowing music into our living rooms with some of the greatest gameplay ever brought to a home system. That game was Donkey Kong Country. It was immedately a smash hit and catapulted the then-little studio known as Rare into the big leagues. The years followed with 2 sequels expanding upon the original title and the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy for the SNES became legendary for always providing a solid and jam packed gameplay experience.

E3 2010: Puzzle Agent Preview

Telltale Games has always entertained us with its episodic games, wonderful storytelling and fantastically hilarious characters. They have now decided to take it one step further as they recently decided to branch out in finding new ideas and develop new game play that will go beyond what interactive gaming is today.  They have created the “Pilot Program,” which, much like TV pilots, will help market and explore new concepts no one has tried before. Those that become successful from the pilot will start to be developed with the company’s episodic style. The first pilot to start off this program was Puzzle Agent, which was demonstrated for us at E3 and will be released within the month.
