Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Comrade in righteousness Tim W has some news: his blogging on the independent games scene is now going to be found at IndieGames.com. That’s a part of CMP Media’s blog network, which already includes the excellent GameSetWatch and Worlds In Motion. We like to think of them as our sensible cousins from across the pond.

GSW’s Simon Carless explains:

This whole concept started a couple of months ago when Tim announced that he might have to shut the Independent Gaming blog unless he got some help in hosting and partly paying for his time working on the site. We wanted to help out, and we’d already launched IndieGames.com to help educate people about independent games, so having him move his blog over here made a lot of sense.

It surely does. Good work.

(Via Fun-Motion) San Fran indie developers 2D Boy have posted a trailer for their forthcoming World of Goo. Here’s my impression of it:

I absolutely haven’t got the faintest idea what’s going on here, yet I know that it is good. It’s one of those occasions when I’d far rather be utterly mistified, than find out the reality of the situation, no matter how excellent it might be. Like watching Spanish soap operas, or The Bloomberg Channel.

(So no, I never played Tower of Goo, which you can get here.) [You really should play it, John, it's brilliant - Rest Of RPS Team.]
