Recently on Offworld

By Brandon Boyer at 7:44 am Tuesday, May 19

Recently on Offworld we played Fathom, the latest web game by Adam 'Atomic' Saltsman (who had a hand in the recently featured Paper Moon, iPhone's Wurdle, and indie favorite grappler Gravity Hook), and found a fantastic short story of a game about duty and dedication that's hiding much more depth than its cutely militant pixels/chiptunes first present. We also saw the game One More Go columnist Margaret Robertson called out as the Zelda chapter too few have played, Majora's Mask, added to the Wii's Virtual Console so everyone can have their own one more go, hoped for a new dawn of the dead with Left 4 Dead's SDK released to the PC public, and saw the latest reason the Team Fortress team need to work on a feature length film. Elsewhere, iPhone publisher ngmoco reveal a Halo connection in their latest first person shooter, a Romanian magazine offers an eBoy poster and a chiptune/indie game DVD, we hear Japanese synth-legends YMO get covered on the Nintendo DS, see the latest official Metal Gear vinyl, crochet our own Noby Noby BOYs, and see Mario jonesing for his next mushroom fix. Finally, the day's 'one shot's: Half Life in Lego, and indie game bling with a BeDazzling Darwinia jacket.
