Okay so the title of the review is a bit antagonistic. At least, it might seem that way to the game’s developer. I might normally be inclined to change it to put the most positive spin on the game, but this is exactly how I felt while playing the game. I want to let you know up front that I only played it for 8 or more hours but didn’t complete it. In B.E.E.P. by Big Fat Alien Games, you play a little robot named B.E.E.P. which stands for Built Exploration Extra-solar Planets. Actually you play a bunch of them as you undoubtedly will die many, many times. The game is essentially a physics-based puzzle-platformer (say that “five-times-fast”). If this is your cup-of-tea then read on.

Thursday, January 28th, 2010Alrighty… Our next review is for a puzzle game called L!ght Deluxe by Nemo Games. This is an interesting little puzzle game. According to the web page “Your main goal is to direct light-rays from lights sources to light receivers! You are provided with tools like mirrors, light filters, prisms, etc.” I liked this game, but there are a few issues that I think should have been addressed before I could say it was outstanding. Here’s a video of the action:
Kaotik Puzzle – A face full of AWESOME!
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Okay, okay, apologies if you don’t find match-3 puzzle games awesome. I just had to put that in the title though because the title is a face full of awesome! I could have said a fist full of awesome, but a face full seems more in your face, you know because it has face in the title. Anyway. Our next review is for said match-3 puzzle on Xbox Live Indie Games game called Kaotik Puzzle from Spanish developer Silvermax (That’s Spanish as in Spain, not the language, although they speak the language in Spain because it’s… well you get the idea). Anyways if you were to play one match-three or puzzle game in your whole life time, this would be it. The guy has pulled out all the stops! Here’s a vid showing you what it’s all about. I believe it’s probably the same vid that I posted in the preview, but here’s a refresher.
Also even though it says it’s coming soon, it’s out now, at the Xbox Live Marketplace. I really dig this game so that might be all you need to know, however if you want to know why please read after the jump.
