Team, we have six hours to pull this job. Gav, you're running interference. Bev, you hack the cameras. Kev, you blow the door. Maeve, you're on the safe. If we do this right, we'll all saunter out of here in slow-motion carrying black holdalls filled with free copies of wonderful heist game Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine [official site] as our theme song blares and,…

Last year Monaco creator Pocketwatch Games announced an in-development RTS game by the name of Armada. Then they changed the name to "Lead To Fire", before realising that nobody would know how the hell to pronounce the first word. So now it's called Tooth and Tail - and there's a first set of screenshots and details below.

If one thing has become clear to me over the last couple of years, it's that Those Who Game need even more ways to spend their cash on discounted games. In the lull between digital sales events that are engineered with more precision than Black Friday's SWAT support, wallets are exposed to a paltry forty two thousand bundles and Steam has not yet incorporated second-long…

With Pocketwatch Games starting work on its "RTS you could play in a party setting" Armada, it's time to stop coddling Monaco and set it free into the big wide world to stand on its own two feet. Run, Monaco! Be free! It's hard to let go, though, so Pocketwatch has packed one final patch for its darling little heist 'em up: cheese & Marmite…
Another Humble Indie Bundle? What a strange turn of events. I thought for sure that Humble was going to suddenly and inexplicably shut down their massively successful enterprise this time around. I mean, they're on Humble Indie Bundle 11 now. What a gross number. Ten - nay, X - was so svelte, so confident. It plucked the olive from life's martini glass just so, and we…
[Earth-shaking slapping sounds can be heard in the distance, like fresh lard being cannon-fired at an ancient war drum] Do you hear that? [A glass of water ripples ominously; a largely decorative Jello mold does the same, but fails to be particularly frightening] Something's coming. Something big. [Dogs whine, horses stomp frantically, one or two people glance up from Western-shootout-caliber staredowns with Facebook on their…
Delightful co-op heister Monaco is getting in the holiday spirit... of Christmas, for Halloween. The Jim-approved wonder has stolen from the, I guess, someone to give bounteous gifts to the poor/you, resulting in an update that will knock your socks off (or your entire Halloween costume, if you're going as gigantic sock). For one, there are zombies, because there are always zombies, but also the…
What do you think of Monaco? Jim thought it was entirely delightful, and he was tickled neon pink (and neon every other color) by its roguish charms. This bit of his opinion rainbow, especially, is pertinent: "I particularly like The Hacker because he shows off what teeming systems the levels present. While anyone can hack a computer terminal, The Hacker can use plug sockets to…

Being a good thief requires patience. Co-op heist darling Monaco, for instance, has been on the radar for ages (we first posted about it back before thievery was even invented, in the primordial mists of 2010), so it's methodically slipped in and out of hiding to avoid detection and subsequent ejection. Or, you know, it's a hyper-ambitious independent videogame, and hammering its many moving parts…
Monaco is one of the best co-op games I can remember, and it's also one of the best heist games I can think of. It also won the IGF, which means that you have plenty of reason to be interested in pre-order of Monaco. Yes, tempting isn't it? Very tempting... Perhaps you'd also like to see the game being played in brilliant fashion in a…
UPDATE: Andy has chose the winners. Check your email later tonight to see if you won. Winners list is here. IGF winning heist game Monaco - which I can report is fairly brilliant - is having a closed beta. Yes, very closed, only a select few people are invited. And some of those people are you. Well, if you can be clever, anyway. Developer Andy…
