The majority of movies, TV shows, and movies may prove otherwise, but on the Web, it pays to be original. Starting on January 1, Clodhop (run by our bud Kerry of Project D fame) will present The Pizzazz Award, which will be handed out on a monthly basis to “the person who has created the [...]
Twin Blades: The Reaping Vanguard has hacked and slashed its way into Xbox Live Indie Games to give gamers a taste of nun-with-gun action. The impressive anime-style visuals have gathered attention both here and abroad, so I thought it time to chat it up with Press Start Studio to discuss the creation of this eye-catching [...]
Virtual Vox Pop is a weekly open mic in which we ask you, the reader, to sound off on a particular topic. This week, it’s the 2D games of 2010. 2009 proved an absolutely amazing year for 2D games with strong showings in virtually every genre conducive to the style of play. However, the calendar [...]

Yep, a homebrewed NES game on a real cart, which will be available at website RetroZone. Starring a green-suited floaty kid name Timmy, Battle Kid resembles the [...]
Strikers 1945 Plus, Psikyo’s classic World War II vertical shooter, is now available in the Apps Store, and I am smiling from ear to ear.
