Ongaku

Ongaku! This game is high up on my indie games list. The game is highly artistic and has a very smooth feel to it. The games music is very catchy and enjoyable both to listen to and to play through. This game is a rhythmic game in which you press buttons to the beat of the music playing. When you play well you paint a good picture, when you play poorly you paint a bad picture. This game is highly challenging and requires extreme focus thus making it that much better :). This game also has a feature where you can pick your own music and good/bad picture to pain when your playing good or bad. I highly suggest you guys to check it out.

Burn! Zombie Burn! Review

Burn Zombie Burn is your classic hack-n-slash arcade syle game developed for PC and also available on PSN. This game consists of zombies, damsels, and weapons, and of course bruce who is your main character who looks like Fonzie from Happy Days. Bruce is adamant about killing zombies and rescuing women from them. Now I keep saying zombies but that doesn't cover it. We have all kinds of zombies from dancing MJ zombies to self exploding Husein zombies that kill everything it their radius, except you of course because Fonzie aint effected by no measly zombies pshhh. Oh theres more though, burning zombies drop upgrades like tnt and speed boots where as non burning zombies drop tasty treats that allow your character to regain health. Which implements a bit of a strategy as you may want to leave some zombies unburnt. Well sounds easy enough but fire, well spreads like fire. The fire will spread from zombie to zombie and for some reason the species enjoys ass raping eachother as they attack you so you may have an entire fleet of zombies just lighting more and more zombies on fire in a snowball like massive fire of death.... Which is ironic because last I heard zombies were already dead. Hmmmmm. Interesting. For 10 Dollars this game will keep you occupied for probably an hour per click. You decide if it is worth it to you.

Zeno Clash

Zeno Clash is a game developed by an indy company named Ace Team. Its a game that makes no sense. Heres the story. Your "family" hunts you down because you kill your mother/father (yes its one person) and tries to kill you. While you run and hide from them you run into a mysterious creature that knows everything. He tells you to take him back to the town and your family and that he can fix everything. He fixes nothing. You kill the same people over and over and over again. well.... just watch my video because this is just annoying to type about.

Plain Sight

Plain Sight! I found this game while surfing steams indy games list and as you guys can probably already tell, im a huge indy games supporter. This game was developed by a small company named Beatnik Games. Plain Sight is their first game :)
Plain Sight is a completely unique multiplayer arcade game revolving around fast action, low gravity, and essentially suicidal robotic ninjas. This game is one of the most action packed games I have ever played and requires a large understanding of the games physics as well as quick reflex skills. This game is FUN because its challenging! When you get a kill its like your whole world opened up. Its like when your playing baseball and you knock the ball outa the park. Its like football when you throw a touchdown pass or stuff a fullback and make a goal line defense. Making plays in this game is what it is all about, and then you kill yourself. Yes you literally must explode yourself in order to acquire the points you earned from your kills, and if you dont explode before you are killed, those points are stolen from you by the one who killed you! The more points you bank the more unlocks and perks you will attain. Strategy is huge! Its not like your standard shooter where you get a kill and it shows up on the scoreboard. You could have the most kills in the game and be the worst player in the room simply because you didnt kill yourself. This game is truly unique and one of its kind I highly suggest you check it out.

Sol Survivor

Sol Survivor! Brand new tower defense action game with a twist. Not only can you build towers to defend your base, but you can also use orbital support to aid your towers. I really enjoyed this game. I personally am a huge fan of tower defense games and this one happens to fall under that category. So lets get started. Sol Survivor is a 3D action/defense game which allows you to create your own custom class that contains your own unique array of orbital commands and defensive towers. The game has many multiplayer options and an extensive single player campaign that will keep you busy for a good chunk of time. Does this game have an addicting "x" factor? I dont believe so. Will it be your main game? I dont believe so, but, I do however believe if you spend your 10 hard-earned dollars on this game you wont be disappointed.
