• Out of the Frying Pan… Radiangames Inferno [Review]

    Radiangames continues its beautiful shooter series on Xbox Live Indie Games with the third release in the series, Inferno. We loved the first release JoyJoy, but weren’t too keen on the follow-up Crossfire… so the great news is that Inferno is pretty much a maze-orientated version of JoyJoy.
    With some great level design, gorgeous visuals and [...]

  • Cause We Got a Great Big Convoy… Reckless Squad [Preview]

    Well, mark this down as one of the fastest introductory articles to preview turn arounds ever in DIYgamer.com history.

  • So We’ve Got This Thing Called a Forum…

    So get this, true story, there are these things all around the world wide web (the internets!) that are called forums. They’re termed after the ancient Roman political conferences where all the senators would gather in a “forum” to discuss issues regarding their society and laws. As it turns out, the internet has taken this [...]

  • Playing in Rewind with Retro/Grade [PAX]

    Wow, this is easily the most interesting game concepts I’ve ever heard of and, by far, the most interesting shmup I’ve ever seen. Retro/Grade is doing things that I’ve never before seen done in a game. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Retro/Grade is going to do for shmups, what Braid [...]

    Calling Foul on Fowl Space [PAX]

    Continuing with our pre-PAX warm up coverage from yesterday, today we have one of the odder games that we’ll be touring tomorrow when we’re roaming the halls of PAX Prime. I am, of course, talking about Fowl Space, the space chicken who wants to destroy the sun.
    Fowl Space is an interesting game, to say the [...]

    XBLIG Thursday: Gauntlet Meets Geometry Wars in Inferno

    I’m always excited when I see a new XBLIG title by radiangames hit the channel. Primarily because I know that the game will be at least two things: very fun and very stylish. Inferno, by radiangames, continues this tradition as it not only packs the same gorgeous style as his first two games — radiantgames [...]

    Xbox Live Indie Games Releases: September 1, 2010

    [While our XBLIG Thursday feature fights against the main issue of Xbox 360’s Indie Games channel–gaming brilliance being lost in a sea of medicore titles and cheap apps–as good as anything out there, there’s just too many total releases for us to try them all.
    That being said, we can still highlight them on a daily [...]

    Retro City Rampage is What GTA Would Have Been Like in the 80s [PAX]

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take some of your favorite modern games and mash them into the retro stylings of the 80’s console systems, a la NES? I know I have. Games like Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, and Red Dead Redemption are all games that I’ve wondered how they’d play [...]

    Civilization’s Last Refuge in Bastion [PAX]

    As more and more developers with experience at large publishers leave to create their own companies, we’ve begun to see a noticeable uptick in the quality of several indie games. 2D Boy is a prime example of this. The company was created by two guys who had recently left their jobs at Electronic Arts to [...]

    Reminder! We’re Heading to PAX this Friday, Pre-PAX Coverage starts NOW! [PAX]

    As PAX Prime is literally just 2 days away at this point, I figured it would be a good idea to begin our pre-PAX coverage of what we expect to see while we are there. Aside from GDC, PAX is one of the largest video game conventions with a wealth of indie game coverage and [...]
