About

miscGamer stands for miscellaneousGamer. It's a website started around the beginning of 2008. Currently most of its contents are experimental, which means I really have no idea what I should write about and you don't have to take anything on this website seriously...yet. You have been warned.

Most of you have probably never heard of me before, and I'd like to keep it that way if possible. I've always found games interesting... but what I find even more interesting is to index, collect, and organize information on things I like, and that is exactly what I'll do, the news on this site is simply my rambling, for the real content, check the sub-sites.

Konjak has finally released Noitu Love 2 - Devolution, and the side-scrolling game comes in a little package of ownage for only $20.00.

The game was a finalist of the 2008 Independent Games Festival. Although the grand prize was snatched by Crayon Physics Delux, that doesn't take anything away from Noitu Love 2. In fact, it would have totally been expected had it won the grand prize.

With issues of the latest issue of Tech Gian and Type-Moon Ace "leaked", news of Type-Moon's upcoming projects are practically everywhere now:

Mahou Tsukai no Yoru - Not much news here, the game was announced by Type-Moon a couple of weeks ago. The story is based on one of Nasu's (TM co-founder) early unreleased novels. The story centers around the life of magician Aoko Aozaki and her sorcery teacher Alice Kuonji, who live together in a mansion. One day, a young boy called Souichirou Shizuki joins them, and things become interesting...

The "bad news" is the game will be "All Age", meaning there are no ero contents, of course, being a TM game, the story is what really matters. Another thing to note is that the art will be done by Hirokazu Koyama, making this one of the first TM game not drawn by Takeuchi.

Indie game super site TIGSource recently held a competition called the Video Game Name Generator Competition, or simply "The VGNG Competition." To enter the competition, you'll have to create a game based on a name generated by Video Game Name Generator, which, unsurprisingly, tend to spew out ridiculous names that makes as much sense as a penguin going to a hot spring in Japan.

Of course, being late as always, the winner of the competition has already been announced before we could post something meaningful about the competition...nonetheless, below are some interesting entries that caught my attention, so I'm going to write about them whether they won the competition or not.
