The beauty of indie games are that the studios are small, creative and as long as they can make it work as a game, they are free to program and serve up to us any number of weird, wonderful and crazy ideas for sale to the gaming public. That’s how games like ‘Glorious Leader!’ get born.
Made by the people at Moneyhorse Games, the game is a 7-level retro-style side-scroller in which you play as Kim Jong Un in an epic adventure in which you fight off the entire American army while either on foot or riding a magical unicorn. If you have a friend to come play with you, the second player can be Dennis Rodman. Seriously.
There’s a trailer up on Youtube now and the game will be out for PC, mobile and tablet soon. Can’t wait to see the let’s play videos for this one.

Take Two Studios have spoken about a desire to maybe acquire a few more studios through purchase to help with their future ‘growth’ plans.
Take Two have had a good fiscal year in 2014. They posted net profits of $2.35 billion, with sales of Grand Theft Auto 5, the latest in that franchise, making up about half of those profits for Take Two. Thus the CEO of Take Two, Strauss Zelnick has said in a statement that while they typically prefer the ‘organic’ growth of studios internally, if there was a chance to grow the company by acquiring a smaller studio that fit with their ideals and disciplines for ‘inorganic’ growth “then [they] would absolutely do so”.
He also spoke about future plans in other areas, mainly in the way of which platforms we could look to find future games being released for. While both the Oculus Rift and Nintendo’s consoles were talked about, there doesn’t seem to be any plans to release games for either in the near future with it being “too early right now” for Oculus support and although Nintendo is still considered an important business partner there hasn’t been a lot of talk about releasing games on their platforms. He has praised Microsoft’s recent decision to unbundle the Kinect from the Xbox One too, saying that anything that “increases the installed base” is good news.
Halo 5 was announced yesterday and already speculation is rife about what the new game might bring in terms of story, locations, weaponry, vehicles, enemies… and about the identity of the Spartan pictured on the game’s launch artwork piece which shows them standing on top of Master Chief with the game’s long-time protagonist appearing in a way that looks like the mystery Spartan’s reflection in some unseen pool of water.
The answer for the last one came today in the form of a tweet from Josh Holmes who is a dev on the game. Well, sort of.
For everyone speculating about the mysterious Spartan in Halo 5: Guardians, he’s not Palmer (or Cortana!). He’s a NEW character. 🙂 #Halo
‘Palmer’ refers to Commander Sarah Palmer from Halo 4 and Halo: Spartan Assault and Cortana is Master Chief’s long-time companion. So if this tweet is to be believed we can soon count a new character among the ranks of the Spartans who have been named characters in the past Halo games.
Not many more details have yet been released, except for art of a dry, dusty alien settlement which could be a potential location for the next set of Spartan adventurers and inevitable battles. We’ll just have to wait until E3 to get the big reveals though.
