JIG:
"All of this means Spewer requires more than a little patience and a bit of a forgiving nature to really enjoy, but a little polish will go a long way towards resolving these issues. Spewer should appeal to the giggling, snorting six-year-old in all of us (heeee, Spewer), while still keeping the gameplay challenging and clever enough to keep your powerful grown-up brain piqued. Immature? Maybe a little. But gameplay issues aside, Spewer is a welcome addition to the physics genre. Maybe even the most adorable one. Awwww."
From the wildly creative mind of game developer Edmund McMillen comes the Basement Collection, a bundle of games, soundtracks, Q & As, and much more, from Ed’s past. The games included are Aether, Time Fcuk, Coil, Meat Boy, Spewer, Grey Matter, Triachnid, and two secret games. From the moment I got to install this, by that time the day after I had already sunken in 12 hours.
Huh. This one kind of sneaked under the radar, didn't it? Seeing as it's only three bucks right now on steam, and I've loved pretty much everything from McMillen and co., I'd say I'm gonna have to pick this up right quick.
Ya I bought it just because I sunk so many hours into super meat boy and binding of isaac so I wanted to support the developer. Cant go wrong when its only $2.79 (for now) and has this much content.
Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Issac creator Ed McMillen is releasing the Basement Collection - an anthology containing eight of his prior works - on Steam in late August. It will be priced at $4.
While each game can be played for free on McMillen's Newgrounds page, the Basement Collection will be ad-free, playable in full screen and come with a host of goodies.
News regarding something Edmund McMillen is working on always comes in droves and this is no exception! Firstly, Edmund has revealed over on his blog that he is working with Tyler Glaiel of Eyebrow Interactive who hasn’t long released Closure on to PSN. Tyler is helping him with his latest endeavour which is called The Basement Collection, which is a pack consisting of some of Edmund’s best Flash games. Those being Aether, Time Fcuk and Spewer as well as an extra unlockable game which he didn’t unveil.
I love The Binding of Isaac. I wasn't quite sure what to think of it when I first looked at the trailer, but I bought it on Steam anyway and it is one of the most addictive games I've ever played. It has a brilliant sense of humour, and it's also very tough. And it has a lot of replay value, due to the random nature of the game.
I'd recommend it to anyone, it's an excellent game.
I just read the joystiq article, you used an editorial sentence as a quote about the "teased" console version, that was the joystiq writer doof.
