The Sound Summer of PSN
You're reading Reaction Time, a weekly column that claims to examine recent events, games and trends in the industry, but is really just looking for an excuse to use the word "zeitgeist." It debuts on Fridays in Engadget's digital magazine, Distro. Remember when the summer lull signaled a blissful ...
PSN Tuesday: Counter-Strike: GO, Metal Gear, Jojo, Way of the Samurai 4
Counter-Strike is updated for the modern era today on PSN. It's joined by Retro/Grade, NISA's Legasista, Way of the Samurai 4, whose trailer you absolutely must see, and a few somewhat less drastic remakes and updates than Counter-Strike: GO! Said refreshes include Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, ...
Retro/Grade review: Time machine music
Retro/Grade is a game about distraction. On a surface level, there's a complicated premise that has you playing a side-scrolling shmup in reverse, avoiding enemy bullets as they return to the back of your ship and rushing to catch the projectiles that your ship fired when time was moving forward. ...

It'll be sold both by itself and as a bundle with its soundtrack. Developer 24 Caret Games posted the above new trailer to mark the occasion. We're happy ...
Retro/Grade preview: A step forward, backward
Much like the classical pianist who has thoroughly mastered his craft and finds the act of reading sheet music to be perfectly droll, the multicolored gem charts of Guitar Heros and Rock Bands have become easy pleasy lemon squeezy. If you've been playing those games since the genre's inception, ...

Retro/Grade devs document a thrilling 48 hours in indie development
Whoever said indie development was all chiptune dance parties and NOS-sponsored galas clearly never worked with the dudes at Retro/Grade dev 24 Caret Games. The studio condensed 48 hours of development time on its latest game into a terrifying one-minute clip, as seen below the break. ...
Retro/Grade preview: Rock your brain off
I set down the guitar controller and start walking back through the layers. I'm sitting at the PAX booth of 24 Caret Games, taking my first spin behind the frets of Retro/Grade, which has one of those great premises that only a video game could really do justice to. As ace spaceship pilot Rick ...
The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Retro/Grade
Being a giant, beloved video game site has its downsides. For example, we sometimes neglect to give independent developers our coverage love (or loverage, if you will) as we get caught up in AAA, AAAA or the rare quintuple-A titles. To remedy that, we're giving indies the chance to create their own ...
