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 [...]

When Falcon Heene aka Balloon Boy lifted off into the sky and consequently found himself all over the news channels, people the world over felt horrified for that little boy. Which made the discovery that it was all a hoax feel all the more disgusting – his parents had made us feel sorry for their [...]

From the looks of that trailer earlier in the month, I was in for a treat when booting up Solar Struggle. It looked utterly stunning compared to the Xbox Live Indie Games back catalogue, and I was hoping the gameplay would match this level of polish.
On a certain level, it does a pretty decent job. [...]

I’ve played a huge number of arena shooters in my time, so encountering a fresh concept I’ve never seen before always gets me intrigued. Swarm Arena sees you taking control of a virtual organism, gathering together a swarm of brightly-glowing cells and firing them off at other organisms. It’s like a neon-fused fight for survival [...]

My, my…how Halfbrick manages to develop so well for the iOS platform is beyond me. Luckily, since I’m a gamer and not a developer, I can live with it. After the monstrous success of their hit Fruit Ninja, Halfbrick has returned to iOS with Monster Dash — an action game featuring main character Barry Steakfries [...]
