Game Tunnel — October 2006 Round-Up

By: Brandon McCartin (BMcC)

It’s been up for a while, but Game Tunnel posted its October 2006 Indie Game Monthly Round-Up.

It features apocalypse simulator Defcon, DigiPen student project Toblo, and breakout clone/hardcore porno Deep Ball Defender, among others. And the winner is… Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso?

Whatever! Just make that I, Mario post die!

I like how one of the features on the Deep Ball Defender site is “plenty of pleasure in Deep Ball Defender.”

I’ll bet!

Defcon: “I can’t tell if the game’s approach to massive numbers of people getting killed by a nuclear attack is in horribly bad taste or if it’s just British humor.”

It’s “dark humor,” which isn’t really a regional thing. And I think it’s also a bit of a commentary on how easy it is to forget about the consequences of war when you can’t see it happening for yourself.

In any case, it’s much more relevant and interesting than the kind of jokes found in “Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso.”

But then again, I find it to be in bad taste when humor DOESN’T step on at least a few toes.

How’s that for some bitching, Dan? ;)
