Xoldiers Review

Rating:

A well known and respected independent developer, small soldiers, big explosions, strategy elements, and a quirky general to motivate you. Sounds like a recipe for success...and destruction!

Xoldiers is an oldy but a goodie from the developer of VVVVVV.

Island Hopping Review

Rating:

What if Canabalt was an FPS? Island Hopping is a great title that basically answers that question. Augmented with an exhilarating scoring system and unique visual minimalism, this is one excellent arcade game that just leaves you in search of that high score

Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer Review

Rating:

I've never played a low res game that has gotten me this disturbed before. Dungeoneer is both a clever puzzle game and a psychological thriller paying homage to torture porn like Saw and Hostel that should be on everyone's must-play list for this summer.

Where We Remain Review

Rating:

Where We Remain is a queer adventure game that reminds me of the old Atari Adventure - Learning how to play is part of the game's charm. However, the adventure part ends once you learn the rules, and quickly degenerates into a score grubbing arcade title.

IdolCraft Review

Rating:

IdolCraft baffles me in almost every way. I'm not even sure if I played it right. I doubt I'm it's target audience, but I still find it hard to recommend to other human beings.

DarkVerse (Demo) Review

Rating:

The only thing keeping this open-ended space shooter from 5 stars is the fact that is an incomplete DEMO. The complete game should be mind blowing.

Island Planet! Review

Rating:

Another in our series of Ludum Dare #17 reviews, Island Planet! is a grand idea that suffers from lack of polish, from lack of time.

Soundfight Review

Rating:

I'm always excited to review experimental concepts - its never about they achieve, but what they discover. Soundfight is a game that does this in an attempt to pit songs against each other in a shooter framework, but loses much "game-ness" in the process.

Rating:

If you've ever wanted to explore the vastness of space and do it all in one go, without a heavy interface or game system to learn, Strange Adventures in Infinite Space might just be for you.

Artillery Isles Review

Rating:

Another Ludum Dare 17 entry with a nice, fast-paced twist on strategy games. Destroy your enemy's island bases while keeping your own together using resource management and tactical nukes.
