SteamFirst: Remember that scene in Johnny Mnemonic when the main character had to fill his head with an overload of data? Yeah, not many people do. It’s the first and last time a William Gibson story was put to screen. Sad really. Had to think hard to remember that movie in order to illustrate my week with Arcen Games latest robotic dungeon crawler; Bionic Dues.
Our tactical roguelike-like Bionic Dues is part of the latest Groupees 'pay what you want' ($1 minimum) deal. It's a Steampunk-themed bundle full of games, music, comics, and e-books -- with a portion of the proceeds will go to charity Direct Relief International. Check out the trailer to see what's included.
Hardcore Gamer: It’s Monday, and it’s also Martin Luther King Jr. day. That means beyond honoring one of the most revered civil rights activists in history, you can also save money on games thanks to the weekly Steam sale.
Arcen Games: "This is an idea that I originally had for The Last Federation, our upcoming title, but which I think could be applicable to all sorts of games, including our last title, Bionic Dues. Right now it is just a for-future-exploration sort of idea, but I wanted to put my thoughts out there and see what sort of response players have to it.
So here we go."
