Keeping my head above the torrent of Indie Games I look at for the Weekly Round Ups has kept me plenty busy, so I haven’t done a review in quite a while. I just couldn’t let this game slip by without calling it out, saying it’s great, and instructing you to buy it. It’s PLATFORMANCE [...]
Wait…what? Hang on a minute. Something is wrong in the land of XBLIG. I think my 360 is more broken than I assumed. This really can’t be right at all. I’ve just loaded up an avatar game and it’s got an actual game in it. Not just hit a button to do something silly or [...]
My lordy, three recommended titles in one week? Where will this madness end. This is definitely one of those games where I’m really, really glad I looked past the description and the screenshots and took a chance on it all the same. The description is, well, it’s vague. It’s uninspiring and aside from telling you [...]
Sometimes I’m more tempted to talk about how someone could possibly come up with such a really rubbish and uninspired game name than I am to review the game. Retrofit Overload certainly falls into that category. A name that’s not really inspiring and certainly not Ronseal enough to do wot it sez on the tin. [...]
A twin stick shooter? On XBLIG? Whatever next? Shocking stuff abounds, I’m sure. However, whilst JoyJoy isn’t quite the second coming of arena shooters on XBLIG, it’s a pretty solid affair with some quite progressive design and if there’s one thing I’m quite the fan of it’s progressive design in shooters. Oh yes. It also [...]
Ok, Flotilla then. Flotilla is a choose your own adventure game. Think Old Possum’s Practical Book Of Elite Of Firetop Mountain. Flotilla is a 3d space combat game. Think the Kubrickian equivalent of Positech’s Gratuitous Space Battles and you’re sort of getting warm. Flotilla is a funny 3d choose your own adventure space combat game [...]
I like music visualizers. I’ve liked them since before there were music visualizers – since I first saw a component equalizer with LED level indicators. While all the fancy visualizers of today make the equalizer display look positively plebian, it does have one advantage – I can tell what it is reacting to. With the [...]
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 [...]
