Just a little over a month ago, GLPeas was kind enough to drop me a line and send some exclusive screenshots of BlindGiRl (before their public release), their upcoming XBOX Live Indie Game. At that time, GLPeas provided me with absolutely no information as to what the game was about or how it would be [...]

This is going to be a bit of a rant. From time to time at DIYgamer, one of us contributing editors feels positive enough about a game to the point where we can share our findings and musings with all of ye, the indie community. We basically spotlight a title and attempt to break it [...]

Radiangames, the studio of 12-year industry veteran Luke Schneider, will be releasing Radiangames JoyJoy to kick off a long line of XBOX Live Indie Games in the Radiangames series. While there is no word on pricing, details of the twin-stick shooter reveal that it contains a beautiful art style set in motion at 60 FPS, [...]

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 [...]

Armor Valley is another attempt to bring the genre to consoles.

I ignored Miner: Dig Deep for a long time. This is largely because the few times I’d heard about it, it was branded a casual game. I’m not generally a fan of casual games; they’re usually puzzle games or simplified versions of better games or, god forbid, Facebook applications.
But while the casual moniker certainly [...]

I don’t know what sounds weirder, the fact that MStar Games (the same guys who brought you Space Pirates From Tomorrow and Carrum) has announced an upcoming 3D puzzle-racer–which is an odd combination of sorts–or that the title of said game is Blazin’ Balls. Immaturity aside, however, MStar believes the game will appeal to “fans [...]

While the new and improved Clover: A Curious Tale will see its release on March 3rd for the PC, Binary Tweed and publisher Blitz 1UP have made the original soundtrack for the hit XBOX Live Indie Game Clover free for download at their the publisher’s website. The soundtrack contains half an hour worth of original [...]

I hate horror games. I really do. Usually the horror is unfounded and almost nothing in the game makes me want to play it. That’s not to say a lot of effort isn’t put into their concepti0n or development, but my specific gripe is that they usually spook me out of playing. I’m not the [...]

About two years ago, I watched the Olympics (don’t even remember which one because I was too busy not caring) with my family and saw a sport that baffled me for two reasons. First, I didn’t know what the hell was going on. Second, I had marveled at the idea I had never seen the [...]
