Posted on December 5, 2015 by Broken Joysticks

Day of the Tentacle Remastered
Last night on stage, Tim Shafer announced that Day of the Tentacle Remastered will be coming to PS4 next March. The game will feature an updated control scheme, as well as a new coat of paints to make the now well over 2 decade old game look the part. It has also been confirmed by studio Double Fine behind the scenes that they are also working on a remaster of Full Throttle, which will release at some point after Day of the Tentacle for PS4 and Vita.

Posted on December 1, 2015 by Fionna Schweit

When I saw the announcement that Satiek would be releasing a brand new piece of equipment like no other my interest was piqued.  The three piece set up is specially set up for Farm Simulator 2015 and it’s really a doozie.
