OMG Jordan Mechner is rebooting Karateka

When the man who created Prince of Persia says he’s making a new game – we take notice. When we caught hints of this last week, we made contact with the man himself – and he was kind enough to personally answer a few of our questions about it. While details are still scarce, we’re definitely looking forward to more of this.

Psychonauts 2 status is…who knows?

First it is being made, then it isn’t, then it is again, then it was all a joke, and then it might still be made – we can’t take the ups and downs anymore! But we still want this game.
