Review: Atom Zombie Smasher
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL0WH8ry30E&w=640&h=390] Few games are funny. Humor is a difficult card to play in a video game. Yes, good writing can help, but in the end it can only pull so much; eventually, the gameplay needs to back up the zaniness

Review: Cthulhu Saves the World
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56fG6fFqubA&fs=1&hl=en_US] There aren’t enough games made about Cthulhu. Point of fact. Ancient, eldritch alien evils of insanity are, frankly, a lot better than grandstanding idiots, various varieties of demons, and the lord Jesus Christ. This is empirical fact. And hell,

Review: Costume Quest
We should have seen it coming. There are two types of games on PSN and XBLA. The first is the game that takes small ideas, polishes them to the point of perfection, and then layers on the charm, creating a

Wizards in silent films: Magicka
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKgio-LLEUs&fs=1&hl=en_US] You may recall me mentioning Magicka before as a veritable masters class in how to sell your independent game. Part one of How the Gold Master Was Delayed was a happy romp, but part two is even better, because

Depressing flash game of the day: Immortall
Yes, folks, Immortall is a little bit old, but a fantastical flash game from the Pixelate, the developer of such fantastic flash games as Hunter Forever and Pixel Legions (both on the same site, and definitely worth a go). Immortall

Fez before Fez: Babel
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFPmCcEVozQ&fs=1&hl=en_US] You know your game has *probably* been in development too long when people have already been inspired by your game. It’s like the Stephen Colbert joke about Rush: by the end of one of their epics, they’ve influenced themselves.

Minecraft update looks awesome
Minecraft, aka most people with a PC’s indie darling of the year, is already more successful than most games, and it’s still in Alpha. Well, that’s probably not true. It’s more that, it’s a fully featured indie game that the
