Review – Trine 2 (PC)

Frozenbyte | 12.07.2011 It feels uncommon for Indie games to get sequels.  It really probably isn’t but it just seems to be the case.  There could be a myriad of reasons behind this of course, return doesn’t work out to enough from the investment or even just the developer exhausted every angle they could push for a title in it’s fist outing.  Whatever the reason, Frozenbyte, the creators of Trine, didn’t follow that model and gave us a sequel. Really, Trine deserves a sequel more than most indie games anyway.  The original game is extremely well done all around.  It…

Review – Dino D-Day (PC)

So I was pretty excited over Dino D-Day when it was first announced.  The idea seemed goofy and it was accompanied by a campy campaign of fake WWII posters about Dinosaurs.  Plus, few games let you really play as Dinosaurs that I can think of.  Actually the only one I can think of is Jurassic Park on the Genesis, which was pretty awesome to play as the Velociraptor.  This was back in the days when Velociraptors looked like bad ass mini T-Rexes and not this modern day “They have feathers and look like Dinosaur Chickens” bull crap.  SCREW YOU SCIENCE.…

Charlie’s Games | 10.07.2011 Hey look, another indie game pretty twin stick shooter full of neon lights and fast paced action.  Scoregasm was included in the Indie Royale Difficult Bundle a few weeks ago, notable because it allowed gamers to get the game for Steam before it’s been officially released for Steam.  The game still isn’t available on Steam, nor does it have a store page yet. It’s still available elsewhere, just not on Steam.  It’s made by the same guy who made Bullet Candy. The gameplay is pretty straight forward, fly your ship around and shoot in different directions…

Review – The Blackwell Deception (PC)

Wadjet Eye Games | October 12th, 2011 So after having the game recommended over at Gnome’s Lair, I went ahead full bore and bought the limited deluxe DVD edition of The Blackwell Deception when it was put out.  I won’t talk too much on the DVD since it’s no longer available.  It includes all four of the games in the series as well as some animated shorts, behind the scenes, and the soundtrack to the game.  It does seem to have a bit of trouble reading, though it may be I simply got a bum copy.  You probably aren’t missing…
