We’re going to try something new as I’m getting sick and tired of missing some of the gems lying in the seemingly endless desert of the Xbox Live Indie Games channel. Since devs can’t control when their game is exactly released, sometimes a really wonderful game will drift out of our reach because we never knew [...]

Brendon Chung (See: Gravity Bone, Flotilla) has released his latest title Air Forte, a totally new educational game available now for PC, Mac, Linux as well as Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Indie Games channel. In the title the goal is to fly your plane into the numbers flags or words that meet the [...]

Zombie Cow Studios has released a trailer for their upcoming educationally icky shooter Privates.

I keep noticing the parallels between the modern indie scene and the old shareware boom from the early 1990s. For those who missed that train, in the period after the Great Crash of 1984 and before the PC was powerful enough to run much more than King’s Quest, there was a sort of DIY [...]

The title of this new Xbox Live Indie Game combines three words I never thought I’d hear in the same sentence — credit is due to the development team behind Urban Space Squirrels, Duct Tape Anonymous Entertainment. Founded entirely by students at the University of Utah, DTA’s puzzle-platformer puts players in control of an adept [...]

Zombie Monkey Games not only has a really awesome name for an indie development studio, but their debut puzzle-action title — Chaos Node — had my eyebrow raised because of its recent press release. The Xbox Live Indie Game challenges gamers to defend the Chaos Node from being struck by the surrounding particles, but also [...]

LunaVu’s upcoming action-strategy Xbox Live Indie Game – Zero Point – will put gamers in the shoes of a technician attempting to create a new source of energy on the Moon. The job also requires that players guard the Chaos Void from blobs known as “Creeps,” who join together to form much more powerful creatures [...]

As E3 looms it’s huge pixelated head next week it comes as no surprise that Microsoft is holding its annual pre-E3 press conference for all media to gorge on what the big company has planned for it’s gaming system in the upcoming future. This, naturally, includes all things pertaining to the Xbox, including the oft-forgotten [...]
