If you spend much time checking out Indie Games on Xbox Live, there's a considerable chance you've stumbled upon the Arkedo Series of games. Fans will be happy to hear that Arkedo and Pastagames have released a third in the series. Entitled Pixel, the game features slick dot matrix graphics and simple platforming action. The game also has a nifty feature that allows players to zoom in on certain parts of the background and explore them at the pixel level. Check the game out in the video above and enjoy some screens in the gallery below.
You can snag the trial version through the link below and, should you enjoy it, the full game is 240 ($3) or, as Arkedo puts it, "approximately the asking price for a nice latte."
Microsoft really needs to step it up a notch as far as getting the word out about XBLA Indie Games. 9/10 of the people I know that own 360s have no idea that that section even exists.
Maybe they first should get it into fucking Europe? I want to play a lot of these games but can't what's up with that? isn't it really that hard to open the service to everyone?
Seriously? I had no idea. That's absolute bullshit. I'm tired of hearing about how other countries/continents are getting fucked over with things that shouldn't even be an issue. Not because I don't think it's important, but because there is absolutely no reason for it to be happening in the first place. I can't even comprehend what reasoning Microsoft might have for keeping the service exclusive to a certain region. Fuck... that's just unacceptable.
