Destructoid talks about Platformance: Castle Pain

July 27, 2010

Yes, we do take this as a compliment coming from Destructoid 🙂 “Before the still-sorta-recent switch to more reasonable Microsoft Point bundles ($5, $10, etc.) on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, it was far too easy to build up weird amounts of extra points.

PLATFORMANCE: Castle Pain — A Fan-Fictional Review

July 25, 2010

An awesome fan fictional review by Nintendoll on GiantBomb. This could be the introduction to the game manual (if there was one…) “The clink and clatter of deadly machinery echoed around the solitary knight as he paused to rest. His entanglement with the prehistoric sea-dwelling creature had taken much longer than expected. He shook out […]
