Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD will release in US in mid-December for Vita, Just Add Water announced over Twitter. A release date for Europe hasn’t been confirmed, but the developers teased a bit of news on that front will arrive “in one week.” Expect Stranger’s Wrath HD to hit the US on December 18. Thanks, CVG.

“Both Stranger’s Wrath HD and Munch’s Oddysee HD are coming to VITA very soon, we just need to get them finished up and through Sony QA before we can release them,” a post on the the OddworldInhabitants Facebook page advises. Stranger’s Wrath is available now for PlayStation 3, and Munch’s Oddysee is expected before the end of the year. Both games were promised for Sony’s new portable last year, but were mysteriously delayed.

Thanks, IGN.

Economy knocking you out of your gaming groove? Miss the Good Ol’ Days? Well, here’s your chance to relive them – at penny-pinching prices!

This weekend, Valve’s Steam service is bundling Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and its bigger, better, odder sequel Abe’s Exoddus together for a paltry $3.75. Two great games or one bad cheeseburger – the choice is pretty obvious, we think.

You could also, we suppose, buy each game separately for $2.50 a pop and still be abiding by the rules and regulations set forth by the government, but why would you even do that? It’s your money, but still.

He’s back. Oddworld boss Lorne Lanning has announced his return to the games industry by calling out consoles in general. As you do.

“Personally, I think the consoles are a problem,” he told GameDaily.

“Years ago I was excited about consoles, but anything that makes development more expensive, rather than better, faster, cheaper, I think is a step backwards. When I look at what’s happening, it’s a bit disappointing because the consoles are running into a place where affordable games are having a rough time getting out there.”

PC’s where it’s at, apparently.

“I’m more excited about what I see happening on PC because I see it allowing for more smaller games to be sold that can be delivered to anyone who’s connected at much lower price points,” he added.
