Indie Games Winter Uprising kicks off today with 'Epic Dungeon'
Dec 1st 2010 12:38PM (Joystiq)Anyway...some great games and some crazy low prices. Definitely worth your money plus you're supporting some great devs.
In a indie sea of massagers and avatar fluff, these are the gems.
Xbox Live Indie Games moved to 'Specialty Shops' on new Dashboard, devs not happy
Nov 3rd 2010 12:20PM (Joystiq)What's so special about Indie games? Games is games is games.
If they were concerned about all the crapware that does end up in the Indie list, do something about THAT PROBLEM. The solution to poor games is not hiding them.
Pac-Man CE DX trailer is madness
Nov 1st 2010 12:09PM (Joystiq)Vanquish review: Smokin'
Oct 20th 2010 12:24PM (Joystiq)It has a real arcade feel, like it's something I'd play on a huge cabinet back in the day. I can dig it. Let's just hope it has some replay value in the long run, otherwise it'll be a bargain purchase.
OutRun Online Arcade removed from PSN; XBLA version coming down Dec. 2011
Oct 13th 2010 12:22PM (Joystiq)I'm not sure what the price is now, but if you enjoy unrealistic arcade racing, get this one before it disappears.
Now Playing: September 13-19, 2010
Sep 14th 2010 12:24PM (Joystiq)Vanquish demo coming August 31 to PS3, 360
Aug 23rd 2010 1:49PM (Joystiq)Review: Mafia 2
Aug 23rd 2010 12:54PM (Joystiq)I'm here to play a game and accomplish goals, so please, just tell me what and where those goals are and I'm good. I'm just waiting for the open world revolt and a return to more linear games. There's going to be a point where nobody wants to take the time/effort of open world games - I'm already there, actually.
Just because a game has rules, boundaries, and is clearly labeled doesn't mean the game has to suck. If you tell me "just do what you want," I'll end up doing nothing. Open world games end up becoming nothing but a bunch of mini-games, which you can get anywhere.
The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Retrofit: Overload
Aug 4th 2010 12:59PM (Joystiq)Radiangames' "Crossfire" is another Indie one that's worth the beans. A very fast arcade shooter.
Video walkthrough: Destination Arcade
Jul 22nd 2010 12:38PM (Joystiq)I know I check every week to see what's new and there's a handy "New Arrivals" list, so it's easy. I get there is 3 moves. Destination Arcade had be swapping listings, squinting at tiny artwork, and just being outright confusing. Plus, it's just not sexy.
If this is a preview at a future UI update for the system then we're all in store for some major frustration.
I already deleted DA from my list...which is another thing...why was DA listed as a "game" that I have to launch. Poor execution all around on this one.
