This didn't exactly need a thread badly, but I made one anyway;
Anyone ever checked out or bought a game from Indie Games?
Over a period of time, I've skimmed through a lot of nice and shitty stuff...
It's a pretty cool feature, to say the least. I've fiddled around with the XNA kit myself, but yet to actually make anything worthwhile.
Anyway, with that out of the way! There are a couple of titles I've picked up on Indie Games that have been absolutely fantastic. Both will only set you back a tinzy winzy amount of MS Points. Of course, not all regions have Indie Games yet (unfortunately), so you might feel locked out. I solved this myself by just setting up a US account and buying an MS points card on ebay to add some points to it
-Single Player
-Lots of neat little secrets
-Good controls
-Nice visual style
-Charming music
-240 MS points
I really wish this one would hit XBLA (and evt. PSN/STEAM) so more people could jump in and enjoy it. The developer that made this was doing a "1 month pr. game" development thingy on Indie Games, but I didn't really like the first two games in the Arkedo Series. However, Pixel's just pure awesomeness.
-Single Player
-Multiplayer (2-4 players) (Local only)
-Music by the "Yuzo Koshiro"
-Official Website
-Protect Me Knight!!!
-240 MS points
This game is like a mixture of simple action/beat 'em up stuff and Tower Defense. You pick one out of four different classes, build walls that enemies can't pass through (but you can), while you beat the crap out of anything that tries to get near the princes. Would be neat if there was a second release with online support. And, oh, the game also has some of the most amazing English text I've seen since the 80s.
-Single Player
-Multiplayer (2 player co-op) (Local only)
-Looks and sounds like an old B&W Game Boy game
-80 MS pioints
This one caught me by surprise. Everything, except from its fancy split-screen techniques and resolution, is like an old Game Boy game. The co-op element in it is really nice (and works perfectly when you're playing alone too, just a single button push to swap between the two characters). Solve weirdo puzzles to find treasure! DO IT!
Anyway, share your Indie Games recommendations here! I'm sure there has to be more top notch stuff on there that I haven't bought yet! (You know, stuff that isn't Kudo or a massage game... 'cause I can never get enough of those...)
