Tim Schafer, the designer of all-time PC Gamer favourites like Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle received the BAFTA Fellowship last week in recognition of his creative contribution to games. Along with much of the staff at Double Fine, Schafer is currently working on a sequel to cult classic Psychonauts 2, which was successfully crowdfunded in January 2016.  We never seem to pass up an opportunity to talk to Schafer, and at EGX Rezzed last Friday I sat down with him to ask how Psychonauts 2 is coming along and whether he'd be interested in remastering more of Lucas

Day of the Devs is an upcoming gaming event where fans can meet up with a bunch of game developers to hang out and revel in their mutual passion. It's also the catalyst for Humble Bundle's latest bundle, which is offering $131 worth of games at obscene discounts.  Spend any amount on the Day of the Devs bundle and you'll get TumbleSeed, a 2D roguelike about pushing a seed up a mountain with a balance beam; Loot Rascals, a grid-based roguelike about exploring alien planets; and Grim Fandango Remastered, the definitive version of Double Fine's classic (which we loved).&#

Good news, Twitch Prime subscribers: you get to play one of the best point-and-click adventures of all time for free. All you need to do is get the Twitch desktop app and head over to Day of the Tentacle Remastered's Twitch page to start downloading. If you like point-and-clicks then you'll probably love this one, but if you're still on the fence head over to Andy's review.

I never played Day of the Tentacle, despite its reputation as one of the best adventure games ever made. With the remastered edition now available, Andy has challenged me to finish it without a walkthrough. It s my chance to experience the game as it was meant to be played without the safety net of the internet. In the spirit of the era, I can use Andy as my very own LucasArts helpline.
