Listen well children, for I shall tell you a tale of long ago... Of a time before PlayStation, a time before even Nintendo first walked these lands. It was a dark time for gamers, but not a time without heroes and the greatest of these heroes was known to all as Fighting Fantasy.
Many years have passed since those legendary days and many other heroes have stood tall against the darkness, but still the people cried out for the return of Fighting Fantasy. Their cries were finally heard by the Laughing Jackal, who journeyed forth to return Fighting Fantasy to the world once more.
Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death has been faithfully translated to PlayStation minis and will include a new tile-based combat system as well as the classic dice based system the fans know and love, so you can experience the classic gaming book in a whole new way.
Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death also features a wealth of other features which build on the books. A 3D interface brings the book to life, an all-new Log book will now show you every previous journey through the game, preventing any unnecessary backtracking, and a Bios book will give you inside information on all the game book’s characters, items and weaponry. New Character Creation, Luck and Skill test systems are also on hand to enhance the experience on PSN, keeping the old rule set but presenting things to the fans in a new and exciting way.
So, be sure to return to the warmth of Laughing Jackal’s hearth again soon... more details will be forthcoming, for those adventurers willing to brave the journey to Orb, and the quest for the Talisman!

Hi everyone,
When I arrived at work this morning I found something quite exciting on my computer. It appears that the Trailer Fairy (kind of like the Tooth Fairy but for game trailers) has visited Laughing Jackal during the night and left us with a sparkly new trailer for the mighty Cubixx HD!
Coincidently, we’ve also recently been filming a lot of in-game footage for Marc, but I’m sure the two things can’t possibly be related :)
Cubixx HD is coming soon to PlayStation®3 via PSN.

To whoever reads this:
OMG-Z! The dead have risen here at Laughing Jackal. I can hear them groaning in the corridor now...
I think the last of the others was taken an hour ago and I don’t think I’ve got long left. I’m writing this blogpost to you in the hope that you can stop them!
You’re going to need all your sharp-shooting skills to blast your way through the hordes of the undead across 81 different levels.
I’d like to be more hopeful, but there are so many of them! Last time I saw, there were literally hundreds in some of the levels. It’s a good job you can win cash by taking those undead slimebags down... maybe you could buy better stuff??
Wait! I can hear them at the door now. I’ve stacked all the test kits up against it but I’m not sure how long it will hold.
Our only hope lies in the vile experiments carried out here at Laughing Jackal, the very experiments which created the zombie menace in the first place, thus dooming us all!
LJ have successfully developed special bullets which will cause the zombies to explode, destroying the zombies in the surrounding area. It seems like there are five different kinds of zombie, all of which explode in different ways. Maybe if you could exploit that you’d be able to take them all down with your limited ammo? It’s a long shot but it just might work...
The few surviving Laughing Jackal scientists have now been sent out into the field, where they will improve these bullets in exchange for funding for further deranged experiments. Maybe you could get in on the upgrade action using some of that money you find once you kill enough zombies?
Oh no! The door’s starting to splinter! There’s not much time left... We’ve hidden the bullets in the...
OMG-Z! They’re here! …
