Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Launch Trailer
Posted on October 24, 2012 by Les Major
From a long past evolving from a Mario clone into a DS game that looked more original, and finally into the stunning game that was released this week, Giana Sisters is a platformer that deserves a look. From German developer Black Forest Games it’s fantastic visuals bring a new flair to the genre by allowing gamers to switch between a punk and cute version of the heroine. However, not just her look changes, the whole world (or dream rather) changes along with her! She also gains different abilities depending on who you’re switched to.
Take a look at the game below and check out our other recent articles on Giana Sisters, now available for PC via Steam, GOG, and Gamersgate.

A Look Back At ‘Great Giana Sisters’ from 1987
Posted on October 24, 2012 by Les Major
Recently released for PC and now available on Steam, ‘Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams,’ has a very interesting past that many may not be aware of. This is actually the 25th anniversary of the Giana Sisters much like many other game series recently. However you probably havn’t heard of the original ‘Great Giana Sisters’ have you?

This is actually quite unfortunate since the game itself clearly shows some of the concepts from this weeks Giana Sisters release. Instead of instantly transforming, Giana collected some sort of swirling orb that turned her from cute into punk in the original game. The 1987 version does have moments of looking like a Mario clone and then merging into it’s own level design. Take a look for yourself in the video below!
