So, what are the scariest video games ever made? For Halloween this week Bytejacker viewers voice their opinion on what are the scariest video games of all time.
The show also takes a look at the ins and outs of WiiWare platformer LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias.
Check it out below:
This week's episode of Bytejacker demos some very cool and creative hacks & mods made in dedication to the original NES, including an electric guitar made of Nintendos. Nice! Viewers also have their say on the best music games of all time, in honor of the newly released Brutal Legend game.
Star Guard comes in at Number 1 in the Free Indie Countdown, which you can play here. Star Guard is a old school style platformer with classic chunky graphics, on the PC and Mac platforms.
Bytejacker is my personal favorite gaming web show and I'm completely addicted to it. The show screens weekly, covering the latest in indie games, free games and downloadable games.
Here's the segments and games covered in Episode 058, with links to play or download:
This week's Indie Game Radar: Grappling Hook, a 3D first person platformer. Looks to me like a very interesting game that falls somewhere between Portal and Warsow, with the strategy and planning of Portal, and the trick jumping and precision of Warsow.

Wow, if this game is anywhere near as good as it looks in the promo material, I expect I'll be sinking a considerable number of hours of my life into playing it. There really hasn't been a top quality epic fantasy game in some time, and this game looks like it could be the one to fill the void.
'Dragon Age: Origins' is your classic good vs mega evil fantasy, complete with all the standard trimmings of ogres, elves, dwarves, mages and dragons. What looks like it will set the game apart though, is the depth of the characters and the complexity of the combat. If you ever wanted to feel as though you were taking part in a vast battle straight out of Lord of the Rings, this might be the game to deliver that experience.
We have plenty more cool trailers and images to come on this game, and you can watch the main trailer from E3 below:
'World of Goo' - pay what you like (image http://klepek.wordpress.com)
Okay now this is super cool. It's one year since the release of the phenomenally popular puzzle game 'World of Goo', and to celebrate, the developers are running an offer till October 19 where you can decide whatever you want to pay for a copy of the game. 1 cent or $100 - whatever you decide. Just a note that they've been hammered with visitors and their site has been down a bit, so if you don't get it the first time just try again later.
If you're not familiar with 'World of Goo', it's a physics / puzzle / construction game that tasks you with the creation of various goo ball structures to make your way to the exit of each level. You might have to build ultra high towers, or somehow piece together a goo bridge to get yourself across a ravine. The game has its own striking artwork style that is somehow sombre and cheery at the same time. This coupled with the original music creates an immersive atmosphere that is uniqe to 'World of Goo'.
I played "The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy" a while back and loved it, so I put this video together to show you the best bits and what I liked most about it. There's a few small spoilers, but nothing too much - just enough to show you what you get in the game.
So, a few standout features for me were the artwork (obviously) and the game interface. I usually find it kind of irritating in games where there is a long list of objects down the left side and you have to virtually memorize the list of objects before you can look for them. With this game, the objects are listed in a book at the bottom of the screen which makes it much easier to glance up and down on the fly. There's some other really good interface elements, but I go through that in the video so I won't repeat myself and bore you.
