Retrofit:Overload hit Xbox Live Indie Games last week and I love it.  I posted a review over on XBLA Ratings (link). I would highly recommend checking it out because it is really well made and it just will set you back $1.

I spent some time catching up on recent Xbox Live Indie Game releases this weekend and found two really fun games, Rotor’scope and Your Doodles Are Bugged. Rotor’scope is a puzzle game where you have to match 3 of the same color blocks, but instead of the usual block moving mechanic you rotate or flip […]

I’ve been away from my Xbox 360 for a couple weeks so I spent today playing catch up with the Xbox Live Indie Game Channel.  As usual there were a lot of games that had potential, but needed more work. However, I did come across four really well made titles that I’m really enjoying. Twin […]

When Wool released on Xbox Live Indie Games this week I tried out the demo right away because the art looks really nice and I like action puzzle games.  In the game you play as a sheep dog who is responsible for corralling the sheep in the level safely.  There are white sheep, black sheep […]

I finally finished off the campaign on Sol Survivor this afternoon.  I was late to the Community Gaming Session so I decided I would try to complete the last level (again).  Fortunately, after trying it a few times I found a strategy that worked well and completed all 30 waves without loosing a single life.

I’ve been playing the single player campaign for Sol Survivor for over a week now and this weekend I got to spend some time playing the verses and co-op modes. I have seen a lot of people comparing Sol Survivor to Defense Grid (which I loved), but really I do not think it is fair […]

I’ve had a lot of people asking me about Dark last week. So, Saturday I sat down to check it out. I came away from playing through Dark very impressed with it.Dark is a platformer where you control a small diamond shaped character who is completely black except for his eyes. The whole game only […]

When I saw that Arkedo has released another Xbox Live Indie Game I was pretty excited because their first game, JUMP!, is a lot of fun. Their second game is titled Arkedo Series – 02 SWAP! Where JUMP! was a take on the classic platformer SWAP! is a version of the classic connect 4 style […]

I’m generally not a fan of (and not very good at) platformers, but when I saw the sweet 8-bit retro graphics in Arkedo Series – JUMP! I knew I has to check it out. The graphics are really sweet and blocky with great use of color and contrast. The goal of each level is to […]
