When I was a young girl, I read an anecdote about Lara Croft—it said that her iconic look was created when her designer wanted to enlarge her breasts by 50 percent but accidentally entered 150 percent in the window. When he saw the effect he decided that it was great and that’s how the heroine shoul
Dear Chell, Where have you gone? This is your fault. You chose this path. The Aperture Science testing environment has been proven entirely safe for each test subject. Yet your typical violent behavior towards the equipment has proven that false. I’d just like to point out that you were given every
“Oh, sorry, I thought you said ‘cut off my oxygen’ not ‘open door D6.'” Nonsensical conversations with AI becomes dire in the gameplay trailer for Event.
We don’t often get the chance to talk woodworking here at Kill Screen, but this instructional video on how to cut a block of wood into a square that is suspended inside another square—also a block of wood—lets us dream of a nerdy foray into the industrial arts we never knew. You may think master ca
The dark fantasy esport Dota 2 is undeniably Steam’s killer app, according to the number-crunching-smiths at Ars Technica, who found that over 25 million copies have been downloaded and played on Valve’s popular digital download service. We shouldn’t be shocked that such a hardcore, complex game—eve
The interesting thing about SightLine is how it fucks with your sense of perception in manifold head-trippy ways: it’s like psychosis without actual psychosis, beautiful-looking and equally terrifying. For one, it’s played in virtual reality, and that’s always a bit unnerving. But it’s also one of t
Only If is a game about playing games. And by that I mean you’re trying to escape from various rooms while a sociopathic narrator makes threats on your life via intercom. It’s kinda like 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors in that way, or Portal, if you push it. Then, you hook a left around the armoire and wi
Partly a synthesizer, and partly a puzzle game, Fract is essentially Portal meets Kraftwerk. What I mean by that is you’re lost in a broken machine-world and play with glow-y neon sounds. And while it’s hard to compare any electronic music anywhere to the canonized output of Ralf Hütter and Florian
The only reason I can figure Kim Swift is releasing Soul Fjord on January 28th as an OUYA timed-exclusive is because the little cuboid console fondly reminds her of the Portal cube. That, or money. In either case, we have the first footage of it in action, which you can scope at the 1:15 minute mark
One of the profound things about Portal was the surreal way in which it bent perception, when you’d be staring into a portal and seeing the back of Chell’s head. Reset, by Theory Interactive, takes that as a starting point, and things only get weirder from there. As seen in this reality-bending new
No, Vivan Clark is not a lesser known Woody Allen film. It’s the sublime successor to Kill Screen fave Soda Drinker Pro! Metanet announced they’ve started work on the third game in the N franchise, entitled N++. They chose N++ instead of N+2 after receiving a stern warning from literary magazine n+1
