Throw up your devil horns for the ultimate heavy metal tribute

Oct 13, 2009

Metal is not dead. It can never truly die, for according to Brutal Legend, it was passed down to humankind by our creators, the Titans, and it is the weapon by which we defeated great evils (read: shitty music). Tim Schafer, the man behind Psychonauts, the game we’ve guilt-tripped you for not buying almost as much as we’ve mentioned Okami, is one funny game designer. ...

Tim Schafer invites you down a stairway to hell

Aug 13, 2009

In San Francisco last week at the Mighty Club, Tim Schafer and Double Fine debuted a hands-on session of Brutal Legend's multiplayer component, a distillation of the story campaign's big band battles including all of the strange characters and vehicles from the single-player game and its strangely unique RTS gameplay. ... » Read Full Brutal Legend preview

First look at mentalist monkey-mans' mulleted mosh masterpiece

Nov 8, 2007

Nov 8, 2007 Tim Schafer and Jack Black. What a match. The latter has molded a career from escalating rock fandom into an extreme comedic art form, whilst the former creates comedic gaming masterpieces that induce the fervent fandom usually reserved for rock gods. One so adored, paired with another so well versed in adoration can only be a good thing. And has led to this good thing. Now, for those unfamiliar with Schafer's work, shame on you. Printing a three page biography of the man that ... » Read Full Brutal Legend preview
