Indie Game Spotlight: Beat Hazard

Remember Asteroids, that old vector arcade game in which you use a triangular spaceship to shoot down asteroids and flying saucers in space? Sure, it was a bit on the simple side, but it kept people entertained. Now, imagine playing Asteroids while on LSD. The result would probably be rather similar to Beat Hazard, an indie

Lords of Shadow Brings New Blood to Vampire-Slaying

Though narrated by Patrick Stewart in full portentous mode, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is very much a visual experience. From its first scenes, the game oozes Romanticism.

Alien Breed: Assault

Alien Breed: Assault seems like an anachronism in today’s market, even by the standards of Live games.  Its top-down camera, run-and-gun controls, minimal dialogue, and essentially four-direction movement all mark it as a throwback to simpler times. The trouble is, Assault makes little-to-no effort to draw in anyone other than current fans of the series.
