I think indie games are saving gaming. Don’t get me wrong, I love Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn as much as the next gamer, but sometimes I just want something a little slower, smaller, more intimate. Last of Us may be one of the greatest games ever made, but so is Limbo. […]
Over the last decade, indie games have really found their stride. Whereas once they seemed small and thrown together, those times have changed. Now there are games like Limbo, Journey, Bastion, Flow, Gone Home, and more that have thought outside the box and changed just what indie gaming means to people. For that reason, I […]
I said it last year. I said that INSIDE from Playdead studios (who brought us the staggering Limbo some years back) were here with their first follow up to that moody masterpiece, and I just had a feeling it would resonate with me the same way Limbo’s shadowy corners and spider tendrils did, and boy, […]
People always pour their attention and energy into the big budget games, forgetting that some of the smaller indie games can be just as amazing (and in some cases, even more so) than the big games. Here are 5 indie games for Xbox One you should keep your eyes peeled for next year. 5- Videoball […]
Life Is Strange is amassing quite a following right now with some very compelling decisions and an episodic delivery that has people on the edge of their seats.

Some games transport us to magical lands using a breathtaking art style and creating a living, breathing world that feels real to us. Ori and the Blind Forest has that feeling. Almost looks like a Studio Ghibli film, which is about as high a compliment as one can shower on a game. Definitely a game […]
Nintendo and indie are not two words you hear next to each other too often, so that alone should compel you to check this out. It shows us a very different side of Nintendo than we are used to (more raw, unpolished, ground level) and at the same time, shows us Nintendo is willing to […]
A great many people think geekdom itself was spawned directly from science fiction films and comic books, but believe it or not, the true roots of geekdom go deeper and further than that. There were often indie ‘zines’ put out by local writers and artists to try and get their work featured and exposed to […]
Doom 3 was not only great fun to play, but for the time, was an absolute marvel to look at. Truth is, the Xbox version still holds up visually to some of the better games from the last generation. This is coming solely from a video game player. But Kotaku had a developer come in […]
