[drupal=541]Currently Hurling Controllers / Mice At … Rocktober, Baby[/drupal]

Make way for the latest installment of Currently Hurling, our semi-regular look at what games we’re playing here at Splash Damage. October’s always a great time for new games and this one so far hasn’t disappointed in the slightest. The hilarious Brütal Legend and the superb Uncharted 2: Among Thieves just finished falling into our collective laps and with Forza Motorsport 3 and Borderlands, the next batch of concentrated fun is already waiting. More hours in the day or, failing that, five day weekends are clearly required.
In this installment, Richard Ham Wii-zaps, Jamie makes a horrible pun, and Ronald uses the Rube Goldberg approach to take out enemies in Batman. All the gory details can be found below:

I can only agree with Pinflux. I’ve spend the last weekend with Machinarium and the art and sound design is a thing of pure beauty. There were moments when I didn’t do anything and simply enjoyed the scenery in combination with the music. The puzzles can be quite challenging but there is a hint system as well which makes it fair again.

There’s a free demo, it’s running on windows / mac / linux and it’s only 20$. If you didn’t have a look at it yet, DO IT NOW! :smiley:

I’m loving this feature too, there’s been a lot of games that I’ve learnt about that I might not have.

Right now I’m playing Brutal Legend too which is pretty cool, I loved the intro, and it feels like a different game. The RTS elements reminded me of Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
