Smooth Operators: Call Center Chaos by Andreas Heydeck Games is an office simulator with some comic relief. Smooth Operators has some addictive early playing, but it fails to make the later game as exciting or economical to continue. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2BBx1nhiEA Smooth Operators lets you control a budding call center from a one small office building with the hope of creating a […]

The third title in the Indie Games Uprising III has arrived and in doing so redeemed the Uprising after the 2nd game unfortunately fell flat. Diehard Dungeon is a homage to the dungeon crawlers of old, mixed with some new, combined into a retro styled game that is not only aptly named but also a lot of fun to play. […]

The Indie Games Uprising III continues onto its 2nd game, Sententia by Michael Hicks or Michael Arts, if you prefer. A colorful platformer/puzzle game that takes on the very difficult task of making a game about growing up (and this isn’t no Zelda – transporting into the future and suddenly being an adult type of growing up either). Ultimately, Sententia […]

The Indie Games Uprising III has begun. As a community, the developers of the XBLIG scene have banded together to unite under a common banner, to stand shoulder to shoulder and scream loud enough that even the most aloof gamer might hear them. In that spirit, together, they have chosen to start by chanting… QRTH-PHYL… which is pronounced… qurth-phil? Qrith-phile? […]

Dear Journal, Today I kicked some North Korean ass. Homefront is one of those games that is an awesome idea with mixed execution. In a near future where North Korea has had a series of “lucky breaks” and the US has had a series of misfortunes resulting in a new super power and an occupied America. You play as a […]

Dear Journal, Today I found out that even Jedi Knights can be totally un-cool. Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes is a video game with three titles and only one camera angle. A mix between platforming and third person shooter, Republic Heroes never manages to really nail either one. The game takes place between the events of seasons […]

Dear Journal, Today I played as a foul mouth Navy SEAL in a buggy mess of a game. Some games should just be left in the backlog, there have been a couple of those during Backlog Quest (such as this one, or this one), and sadly Rogue Warrior joins the party. Based very loosely on former Navy SEAL Richard Marcinko, […]
