Kickstarter Watch #17 - Awesomenauts: Starstorm

Awesomenauts is a fun 2D platformer MOBA-style game with interesting characters and far less rage-inducing community when compared to other MOBAs. While the game have received various positive reviews, Ronimo Games needs your help to fund more characters and various additions to the game.

Kickstarter Watch #16: Chroma Squad - Indie Sentai Studio

Everyone who had a childhood should know about Sentai Squads, you know Power Rangers and the like. Nowadays, it's a bit rare to find a game about these kind of things so Behold Studios' take on a Sentai Squad game captures my interest immediately. And of course, just like with their last game Knights of Pen and Paper, they've added a unique twist to the story.

Greenlight It! #9: BROFORCE

Some of us love the 80s and 90s action movies and loved The Expendables for what it was, a nostalgia trip for action movie fans. Naturally, we want to see that kind of thing in video game form but The Expendables video games are really bad. But now we have BROFORCE, a sidescrolling platformer action game which will give you your 80s/90s action movie nostalgia trip. And it doesn't suck.

Kickstarter Watch #13 - Celestian Tales: Old North

Do you like classic JRPG-style games? Wanted games with deep storytelling with interesting world and characters? Celestian Tales: Old North from Ekuator Games aims to be one of those games. And with your help you can help this budding Indonesian game development studio to realize their dream.

Kickstarter Watch #12: SOS: Ship of Sacrifice

This is one Indie title I'd guess most people won't know about, which is why I will try to help spread it out to more people. It's a co-op adventure game with puzzles where two players must work together to escape from a sinking cruise ship.

Greenlight It! #6: The Novelist

Back again with another Greenlight It! blogpost. Today I'm going to talk about a really interesting looking game called The Novelist. This game is made by Kent Hudson, the guy behind a few AAA games(Thief: Deadly Shadows, Bioshock 2, etc) and explores the story of Dan Kaplan, a novelist who is struggling to finish his work while trying to be there for his family.

Cross Code Tech Demo++ Impressions

I always like anime-style Indie games and when someone happened to show me Cross-Code I am instantly interested in it. As I play the tech demo, the game showed me that it has more to offer than just anime-style art. And it's all done with HTML5.

Guns of Icarus Online Review

Competitive multiplayer games rarely focuses on teamwork. Don't get me wrong, you need teamwork to win, but most of the time being a better shot beats working together as a team. of course there are several exceptions to this as you can see in games like World of Tanks and Mechwarrior Online where you need to work together to win. Guns of Icarus IMO takes this to another level, does this makes Guns of Icarus a great game?

Guest Post: DreadOut Demo Review by ExTeeYuu

Skullgirls Indiegogo Campaign Adds New Reward Tiers

The Skullgirls Indiegogo campaign was highly successful since Lab Zero got their funding goal of $150k in just under one day.

INheritage Preview

Indonesia was never really known for our games. Of course plenty of Indonesians works in the game industry, but as developers most are only known for browser or mobile games. INheritage is one such game, a shoot 'em up developed for mobile by the guys at Tinker Games. What makes this game different than the others?

OUYA, affordable Android Console

I'm not a wealthy guy, I got my PC and that's it. I have older consoles like PSP, NDS and Wii but I never got into Xbox 360, PS3 or the newer consoles like WiiU, PSVita and 3DS. For me they're all too expensive and I'm better off playing my games on the PC. Now for a few years I've been ignoring all console news but something really pique my interest. There's a new contender in town, OUYA and it's very very cheap.
