So our next review is for a game called Chris Unarmed by Chris Hughes. He literally has no arms. The premise is that the infamous “Mango” has released monsters on the world, and only Chris can stop them. Firstly I have to say this game is on the “good” side of “OK”. The platforming aspects are standard and the controls aren’t too hard. Graphics are a bit quirky. I think given more time and better art, this could have been a stand-out title. Of course what can you expect from one person (well he did have a separate musician, but more on that later). Here’s a video (probably the one I showed on the preview).

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Our next banner drawing entrant is Inventive Dingo with Mayhem Intergalactic, a turn-based space-themed strategy game. Your goal is to conquer all the planets before your enemies do by sending ships to attack other planets. Firstly I’d like to say this is pretty fun, like the other similar planet-conquering indie strategy games out there. It’s not really hard to learn as you’re basically pointing and clicking to send ships to your own or enemy planets. You can also upgrade your planets to produce more ships.

Awesome Soccer is Awesome
Monday, December 14th, 2009Well, I just thought that was a cool name, not that I necessarily think it’s awesome, not that I necessarily don’t, not that I necessarily, well, I suppose I used necessarily too much. It’s called Awesome Soccer by Red27 Studios! All-in-all it’s a decent soccer game (football for you European folks). Graphics and sound are well done for an indie game, and it’s fun to play. However I think this is more for soccer/sports enthusiasts than general game players. The keyboard control is a little tricky but you can also use a gamepad (I used my wireless xbox360 controller with windows). Gamepad is a lot better for control. Check out some video. (I realize this is probably the same video as in the preview but now you don’t have to click the preview).
