[Regular readers are probably familiar with the comments from juice - who also happens to run his own XBLIG review site, xboxindiegames.co.uk. We've now asked him to formally contribute his wit and wisdom to xnPlay. Whilst his regular "best of the week" choices will be appearing alongside 9572ad's and my own in the Sunday round [...]

It must be the week for titles.
I’m not an RPG man, in fact it’s common knowledge that Orcs bring me out in a rash. Yeah, we try not to talk about it, I’ve been that way for a long time now. So, I have no idea if this looks any good or not!
It’s [...]

I had vowed to pass over anything even remotely TD related to xAD as I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM. THEY ARE ALIEN THINGS FROM THE PLANET XAG.
However, when Elbert Perez sent us a lovely note with a video in, how could I say no? This is his latest bag of trickthings, it’s tower defence [...]

I’ll happily admit that when it comes to Earthshaker, it’d take a cataclysmic event to make me give it a bad review. Thing is, it may be a new game to the 360 but it’s a game that I’ve owned and enjoyed for the best part of 20 years now (oh god, I’m old) and [...]

Just a couple of random bits and bobs from our mailbox to tide you over.
Harald Maassen dropped us a line to let us know that the XBLIG game we really quite liked, Revenge Of The Evil Aliens is now available as a free download for Windows. Which is nice. As I say, we liked it [...]

Sometimes games don’t need all the bells and whistles under the sun to be enjoyable. Sometimes just doing what they do and doing it well is far more than enough.
There’s not a whole lot of words you can write about Along Came A Spider, it’s a simple thing indeed. You play a spider (I know, [...]

There’s been a bit of a dispute going on in the dark underbelly of xnPlay Towers (for those not in the know the dark underbelly is where we keep the pies) over Cavemen Vs Aliens. Well, I say dispute it’s not really much of a dispute per se more a discussion on the levels of [...]

Ah, this has already done the rounds a bit. Brandon Boyer declared this screenshot to be the best of the week (and I’m inclined to agree) and our friends over at Indiegames.com have already posted it up earlier in the week.
So, we’re late. We don’t care. We’re just happy to post a lovely video [...]
