Interplay

Kids are known for their crazy imaginations. Something as simple as clay could be a thousand different things to them. Through the years, some of them keep their imaginations close to them and rarely forget about the silly things they talked about when they were kids. I like to think that the creators of Clayfighters on the Super Nintendo were just that; big kids. That's right kids, for this weeks “Back in my Day” review, we're looking at Clayfighter.

I've been curious about the Fallout MMO since I first heard it was trying to get off the ground. After legal battles and delays upon delays, Fallout Online is finally accepting beta applications. The site is taking a massive hit from traffic, so it may be a little difficult to get signed up. Hope to see you roaming around the wasteland in the near future. To sign up, click here, and cross your fingers.

The release of Earthworm Jim HD will soon be upon us. How soon? Well, no one really knows yet, but the folks over at Gameloft gave us a reason to keep waiting with a high definition trailer. Hit the jump to see 4 Earthworm Jims working together.

Remember those guys?  Probably not because few people actually played the game.  They're from Giants: Citizen Kabuto and they're absolutely hilarious, if you like dry British humor that is.  GOG.com is having a weekend deal with Interplay's action-comedy games and they're all well worth your money.  Head over there a pick up MDK 1 and 2, as well as Giants for a measly $12.50 for all three.

One of the best things about PC gaming is the ability to customize several aspects of your favorite games. This article is dedicated to that very practice. Each week, I'll feature mods from a specific game, and you can rest easy knowing that each one of them was tested thoroughly by yours truly. Want to see mods for a particular game? Can't get enough of a mod I haven't featured? Let me know in the comments section.

A couple of weeks back, Greg Hughes and I got into a discussion about which game's demo we put the most time into. It didn't take me long to remember the gem that I used to play non-stop, every day, for hours on end before actually purchasing the full version. As it happens, that same demo was also the first game I had ever successfully modded. That game was the brilliant and disgusting Carmageddon. Hit the jump to take a nostalgic trip back to elementary school with me, and discover my first ever modding experience.

According to Duck and Cover, Bethesda has officially dropped the lawsuit against Interplay in regards to the Fallout IP.  Interplay is now able to go ahead with completing the Fallout MMO currently codenamed Project V13.  It's still a long way off, but know that it is now in the works, instead of just concept art and a few pre-alpha pictures.  Hit the jump and discuss.

Since Interplay reopened its doors, we've seen a few franchises rise up again.  Bethesda and Interplay were fighting over the rights to the Fallout MMO that seems to still be in production and Earthworm Jim was released on the iPhone and iPod Touch.  A few older games are making their way cross platforms as well with one of my favorites being, Descent.  Hit the jump for details.

I should have known this was coming! The second Steam loaded up this morning the nostalgia nerd in my almost ripped through my rib cage and into my monitor.  The Earthworm Jim series is now on Steam!

$20 for all three games. Could I love you any more, Steam?  Only if you snagged the old Apogee games and Mountain King Studios.  Anyway, get the entire EWJ series here.

There are some great savings on games on Steam this weekend.  Yesterday we had a little treat with the Lucasarts Jedi Knight pack being released.  Today, we get grand news from a few companies.  Interplay for you retro junkies and for those of you who got a chance to read Ag3nt's review on Majesty, it's sequel Majesty 2 came out today.  Hit the jump for pricing and details.

Interplay already went belly up once in its lifetime. It certainly didn't need this.

Bethesda has filed a complaint against Interplay because of a supposed breach of contract.
This could spell very bad things for the recently resurrected Interplay and anyone looking forward to the Fallout MMO, also known as "Project: V13".  More after the jump.
