The nominations have been listed since January, but it wasn’t until this very evening that the awards and prizes were handed out. There really isn’t a bad game in all of the selections, so it’s tough to break out one from another. I’ll be continuing my previews of all of these titles for the next [...]

Developed by Ludosity Interactive, the game features a [...]

The 2010 IGF Student Winners have been announced and 10 different titles landed in the spotlight. At the festival in March, the 10 will compete for an overall Best Student Game Prize, but to get to this point they definitely had to be special. We’ve dug through them all and contacted their developers in a [...]

Soul, the spooky “don’t hit the walls” title from Kydos Studio that Arsen recently reviewed on Xbox Live Indie has just hit the App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
It’s going rate is $1.99, which is actually a dollar more than what it is on XBLIG, but for a portable game of this caliber, [...]
