Indie games, where to start? A whole heap of dog sh1te nonsense would be a good place, but that's not the rule of thumb across the board! Have you taken a chance with an Indie game? Care to post a review?

Do it!

I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 80pts
80pts!? what's that, 60p? That's worth the soundtrack from this game alone!
It's a twin stick shooter at heart with it's tongue firmly in it's cheek. You start off shooting zombies, but it soon develops into "mobile phone Snakes" and "Asteriods". It's a nice little distraction, and the sound track, awesome! Valve's Portal sing-song would be proud!

Arkedo Series - 01 JUMP! 240pts
Old school platformer with charming graphics, nuff said!
If you find yourself hankering for the old days of Manic Miner et al, you could do a lot worse than checking out this lovely little package. It oozes care and attention and is a shining example of XBL Indie done right!

Run Away 80pts
run! jump! roll!
Another cheap throw-away title that oozes with charm. Only two buttons, jump and roll (running is automatic) clear the obstacles without letting whatever is chasing you catch up before you reach the house of Angry Girl (the love of your life) it's not very complex, but it has a lovable art sty1e and for 80pts how can you go wrong?

Ninja Bros 80pts
colour coded headfuhk
A puzzle game with the idea being to guide up to 4 differently coloured ninjas to their destination. The D-pad controls all of the ninjas at once, but each ninja has a jump button in their corresponding colour (green, blue, yellow and red). Starts off nice and gentle, but soon turns into a major melon twist.

Headshot 2 80pts
Twitchy trigger fingers
Study the crowd, call in the intel and take out the hidden terrorist as quickly as possible. Pretty simple, pretty addictive, and for 60p, once again you can't go wrong.

Gerbil Physics 80pts
Cute, annoying, totally addictive
Use a finite amount of bombs to disrupt the towers made of Gerbils. Knock all the gerbils below the score line to progress. Levels become trickier when new tools are introduced, towers that mustn't be damaged get in the way, and new types of gerbil block add to the variety. Another sterling effort for 80pts!
