Double Fine Working On Four Games
Tim Schafer's been on our blog a lot over the last couple days. Yesterday, the head of Double Fine called Bobby Kotick both a d*ck and a pr*ck (he later said it was "an accident"), and a new Double Fine T-shirt design led the gullible (Jake Gaskill) to imagine a Psychonauts sequel, and now this: Schafer says his company is at work on...

Double Fine Hiring For Work On "Original IP"
Tim Schafer and the fine folks over at Double Fine had great success with their heavy-metal love letter Brutal Legend, but it appears that the team is leaving Eddie Riggs behind as the developer is currently hiring for work on an original IP.

Brutal Legend Multiplayer DLC Detailed And Dated
One of the shortcomings of the multiplayer portion of Double Fine’s inspired ode to heavy metal, Brutal Legend (check out my review to find just how inspired), was its limited number of maps and modes.
