Planetary Shield

Axouxere Games contacted us about their recent XBLA indie game Planetary Shield and offered us a free download to give it a try. Never to turn down free stuff (hey we’re just regular dudes here), I gave the game a try. I don’t play as much indie games as Hockey Glory but I had a [...]

Ray Raygun

Thanks to an email from the developer, I got the opportunity to try out his new game, Rad Raygun. A 2D side scrolling Xbox Live indie game that pays homage to retro style gaming. Specifically the GameBoy. Once you start it up, see the familiar monochrome graphics and sounds it’ll bring back lots of memories for all [...]

Skulls of the Shogun, the new turn-based strategy game from 17-BIT Studios is out, and M1GO takes a look at what it’s all about.   5/5 Reviews A note on our rating scale: We rate things out of five, but don’t confuse it with ratings from other publications. We’re not professional reviewers who do this for [...]

Protect Our Base

I’ve been reviewing many GOOD indie shooters lately, so I’m going to shamelessly plug my reviews again….. Grid Space Shooter and Pester.  Let’s just say I will never plug Protect Our Base, unless I want to lump it with these bottom feeders…… Damage Inc. and The First Templar. Protect Our Base is a basic vertical [...]

Arcadecraft

Over the past few weeks, I’ve played some good twitchy indie shooters – Grid Space Shooter and Pester.  I decided to check out the indie section to see what’s there.  You never know what you’ll find.  Wow.  What’s this?  Arcadecraft?  The first thing that stuck in my mind….. not another Minecraft clone.  XBL Indie Games [...]

Pester

A week ago, I posted a review of Grid Space Shooter – an excellent indie shooter.  Here’s another one – Pester by Flump Studios.  But it’s not a twin sticker, but a shooter that can be described in a handful of bullets: Innocent looking Old school shooting Merciless Will leave you cussing and trying again [...]

Grid Space Shooter

It’s the start of a new year and what better way to celebrate then to review a game you’ve all been waiting for.  That AAA budget bombing game we all know and love.  That’s right!  It’s a review of Grid Space Shooter!  An Xbox indie game selling for a whopping $1!  My fourth indie review [...]

I am now back to playing the Walking Dead after some great sales over the holidays on XBL where Episode 1 was free, and Episodes 2-5 were each 50% off. Easy decision for me. Despite mixed reviews from the GamerVets (M1Go loved it while Hockey Glory thought it was a borefest), I personally think it’s a great [...]

For a polar opposite review, check out GamerVet M1GO’s 5/5 reivew! Don’t say we don’t offer variety! Awesome!  XBLA is giving away free copies of The Walking Dead: Episode 1.  I’ve never read the comics and all I know is that the game is getting solid reviews and is some kind of point and click [...]

Dungeons of Desolation

Dungeons of Desolation from Only Luck Interactive is my third Indie review.  I’ve bought a bunch, but have only got around to reviewing:  MegaCity and Score Rush.  All solid games that cost $1. This game is a Rogue knock off, but with more in it.  I downloaded Dungeon Adventure for 240 pts a few years [...]
