• 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. Despite only officially announcing the game’s existence yesterday, I’ve already played a good deal of the press version and now have a gooey, creamy preview waiting for you to gobble it all up. Impressive huh?

  • 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 [...]

    Wake Up, The Ship Is Sinking! [Review]

    Welcome to Wake, an indie platformer from Boss Baddie. It was released about a month ago, and the two charming chaps from over in the UK were kind enough to send me a copy to review.
    Yes, it is another indie platformer. But it does have two things going for it. Most platformers ask you [...]

    Talking to Boss Baddie about Escapevania [Interview]

    I’ve been following the two-man team behind Boss Baddie’s games for a long time. They’ve been working on an epic platformer called Tormishire for a long time, but they released Lunnye Devitsy last summer, and Wake just over a month ago. After Wake’s release, I asked the team if they’d be willing to sit [...]

    Play Pure Platformer Mr Runner on Kongregate

    The preview video did not lie. Mr Runner is platforming at its purest. Bit Battalion’s flash game went up on Kongregate earlier today, making the game available to all.
    The game is a fast and pure 2D platformer. Your 8-bit character can wall jump and slide, and as you zoom across the screen the [...]

    First Trailer for Super Quickhook

    Touch Arcade has the first gameplay trailer from Rocketcat Games next iPhone release, Super Quickhook. Like in Hook Champ, you’ll be doing a lot of swinging — this time to escape an avalanche while stealing food and jetting around endless, procedurally generated levels.
    The trailer is a little underwhelming though. Hook Champ is [...]

    16-bit Mobile Tower Defense: Soulcaster [review]

    This is a hard review for me to write, and it’s all Penny Arcade’s fault. By the time I had played the game to the point where I was comfortable reviewing it (beating it and then some), I had time to either pull my notes together to and sit down to write or prepare [...]

    Hands On with Shank

    Hands On with Shank

    March 31, 2010

    by Peter Rambo


    The guys at Klei Entertainment had the first demo available to play at PAX East, and it was a sight to behold. It takes you through a bunch of jobbers, a few bigger guys and one beast of a boss over the course of one stage.
    The controls are simple and intuitive. You switch [...]

    Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet headed for XBLA

    Michel Gagne announced Monday that the long-awaited Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet will premier on XBLA. In the beautiful 2D shooter, you control a flying saucer while dark, creepy things try to get you.
