About Nathan Bowring

I'm a software developer who enjoys gaming, and I know how cliche that sounds. I've been playing XBLA games for some time now, and I'm a huge fan of the price and creativity of these games. Writing about them is almost as fun as playing them. Almost.

Max: The Curse of Brotherhood announced

Do you have an annoying younger brother who you just wish would go away sometimes? Max sure knows the feeling, and one day he decided to do something about it. After finding a curse online to make his little brother Felix disappear he gets more than he bargained for when his brother is kidnapped by evil forces. Armed only with a magic marker, Max goes on a perilous journey to undo his actions and save his brother.

Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is an upcoming side-scrolling platformer developed by Press Play. Players will control Max as he treks through dangerous locals including deserts, jungles, bogs and ancient temples. As he progresses on his adventure, Max’s magic marker will gain amazing powers. Players will draw platforms, vines, water and more with the marker to help Max solve environmental puzzles. Max: The Curse of Brotherhood will be available this spring for 1200 MSP. XBLAFans will have a hands-on preview with the game during PAX East, so be sure to check back here after the show to find out more.
