Naturally, like almost every company, they are thinking bigger, better, faster, and more powerful for their newest device, which not only promises to be a step in between a [...]
Being a writer for a popular indie games blog means that we, here at DIY HQ, play a lot of indie games. I’m talking about 3-4/day at the minimum. If not to report directly on news regarding said games, then just to stay within the confines of the indie gaming world. It keeps us fresh, [...]

As the day of the next Independent Games Festival draws nearer, the finalists prepare for an incredible experience at the Game Developers Conference in a little over a week. On the other hand, we at DIYgamer are still sifting through the list. Last year, we [...]
Why is it rare to come across a mediocre indie game? It’s not that they don’t exist, but few people talk about them. And thank god. There are enough games out there to play something new — and good — every day till the day I die, and I’d rather not waste my time [...]
I remember in the beginning of January, Erik Brudvig of IGN wrote an article deeming XBOX Live Indie Games a “failed venture.” I didn’t agree. In fact, I was heated enough over the editorial to want to write a rebuttal. However, our own Peter Rambo beat me to it and probably did a much better [...]
Each Thursday Browser’s Best profiles a trio of web-based/flash indie games, selecting one of the three to spotlight as the week’s must play.
Join me for our inaugural Browser’s Best piece, where I try my hand at playing these little chunks of joy and subsequently recommend any I find with merit to you. Exciting! Well, perhaps not as exciting [...]
